Whose Illness Is It Anyway?
by Jennifer Kummins

     Heaven's message is now available in a very down-to-earth text! Prepare to read faster and more passionately than you gave yourself credit for: Whose Illness is it Anyway? A Mystical Journey to Wellness, by Marilyn Segal and Carolyn Cohen, is so beautifully simple, so plain-English in its delivery, that you will fly through these pages. And believe me, you should.

    This phenomenal book speaks to all of us, and embodies the truth behind all forms of wellness: physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental. Cut through the difficult, metaphysical jargon that so often decorates metaphysical texts - you won't find any of that language in here. You will, however, explore such phenomena as mind/body connection, afterlife, disabilities, illness, kinship, family, friendship, and more...in terms you can relate to.

     Presented as a casual, personal dialogue with twin sisters Marilyn and Carolyn as the narrators, reading this book feels like having a cup of hot chocolate with a close friend. Prepare yourself to get intimate knowledge on these two Atlanta-based women's lives...they bare every human weakness and strength of their own in a noble effort to guide you through your perils. Through revealing their own personal stories, the co-authors illuminate God's message to all of us, guiding us gently to discover our own purpose behind the journey.

   Carolyn boldly, candidly, and humorously describes her life-altering experience with death: “I definitely don't think I had a first-class ticket to go to the light. I must have been in cargo. I was in a murky place with lots of spirits around. I vividly felt like I had to go to the bathroom... “Excuse me, where is the restroom?” I heard lots of laughter and the spirits' replies. “We don't go to the bathroom here,” and they kept on laughing. “Then my deceased mother appeared. I didn't see her true physical form, I just knew her essence. From knowing that I drew a tremendous amount of comfort....”

    Intertwined with one another's voices, the twins share their revealing trials and tribulations with us all. A finely-orchestrated merger between fabulously entertaining true-life storytelling and divine guidance for each reader, Whose Illness is it Anyway? brings a message to everyone of discovery, hope, and healing. Not just a book for twins, and not a book just about illness, this glorious text brings a sparkling drop of Heaven into your lap as you read. Many readers that I have spoken to even describe a healing effect upon reading the book.

    We plunge further and deeper into the story as Marilyn guides us wisely: “I would like to arouse some curiosity in your minds. I would like you to begin to question yourself. What is God trying to awaken in you? What does He want from you? ... Communication with God is a two-way street... give yourself permission to receive. God wants you to know yourself. It is vital to learn to reach out and really ask for His help. Acknowledge Him in your times of joy by giving thanks. Work to bring peace of mind and heart to yourself. Open up to the happiness, joy and gladness that is already inside you. Stop judging yourself.”

    Glide with ease through the lessons that Carolyn and Marilyn learned the hard way: through experience. They believe that by sharing their experiences with you, you can heal by understanding what they have undergone and learned. This was quite true for me. I admit that I began reading Whose Illness is it Anyway? one recent evening, and felt deprived of it when I had to put it down to go to sleep. I finished it in one sitting the next morning.

    Read Whose Illness Is it Anyway? for spiritual growth, simplified enlightenment, or just for pure pleasure. Unveil your heart to the “traumas and dramas,” as the twins say, and uncover the vital, life-changing lessons that you'll wish you had understood sooner. No sooner will you begin enjoying this book than your heart will thank you. Endorsed by spiritual guru Brian Weiss, M.D., we understand the magnificent scope of an audience that this book attracts and addresses.

    I imagine God is smiling at a job well-done by these delightful, uplifting twins. Let the love and priceless journeys of Marilyn Segal and Carolyn Cohen bring your vibration to the next level: share in their lives, and open up your own.
