Gordon Smith is well known for giving powerful messages from people's loved ones on the other side. Very often it's not just human friends and family who come through - the animals who have been close to us in life also continue to visit us after death.

Throughout the book, Gordon shares his own experiences with his springer spaniel 'Cheeky' Charlie, who came into his life unexpectedly, completely overturning it and showing Gordon the beauty of trust, patience and unconditional love. Through these amazing stories, Gordon shows just how deeply animals care for their human families and the profound understanding they have of the world around them.Previously published as The Amazing Power of Animals (ISBN: 978-1-84850-008-2)

In this book he examines the historical evidence, admitting fraud where he finds it, but showing that great weight of testimony proves the reality of these supernatural and spiritual phenomena 'beyond reasonable doubt'.As leading barrister Maria Ahern writes in her foreword: 'I have assessed the evidence in this book. Just as I would in a trial. There is credible evidence from various unconnected sources all giving evidence that points the same way. The evidence has been collated by a credible source; Gordon Smith is widely acknowledged as a gifted medium and has provided many with evidence of one of life's great unanswered questions'. She advises the reader: 'Look at the evidence, assess it fairly, allow for any sensible and appropriate doubt and reach your verdict'.
