And in one particularly haunting story, John, with the help of a murder victim, solves a case that had baffled the police.

PRAISE FOR THOMAS JOHN’S

NEVER ARGUE WITH A DEAD PERSON

True and Unbelievable Stories from the Other Side”

“I’ve written a great deal about psychics over the years—for W Magazine, Women’s Wear Daily, and for The Hollywood Reporter. Thomas John is very simply THE REAL DEAL. You don’t come across that too often. Not only is he a miraculous channeler—knowing so many things from my family tree I’d forgotten myself - his psychic abilities are so accurate, they used to scare me—until I just stopped questioning them and became co-dependent. He’s also warm, empathetic, a great combo of spiritual and secular, funny, and a wonderfully natural writer who penetrates deep into the souls of both the dead—and the living.”

Merle Ginsberg, The Hollywood Reporter

“I’ve been to many mediums. Thomas is by far the most accurate one. Spot on!”

Jenny McCarthy, author and actress

“Thomas John’s way with words will hit home with everyone! His loving memories of his father especially made me smile and I could relate. Living with this ability is what you make of it and Thomas has chosen to use his wisely!”

Concetta Bertoldi, author of Do Dead People Watch You In The Shower

“Reading Thomas John’s Never Argue With A Dead Person is like having a best friend who’s a great storyteller and happens to be able to commune with the dead; endlessly fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable. As with all great books and life itself, the hours fly by and you wish it would never end ̶ and it doesn’t! ̶ it stays with you long after the last chapter ends.” —Monte Farber & Amy Zerner, authors of The Soulmate Path, The Enchanted Tarot, and Quantum Affirmations

“Thomas John is one of the most gifted psychic mediums working today. His book is a lively, entertaining and informative account his work with the other side. I recommend it highly.”

Paul Selig, author of The Book of Knowing and Worth: A Channeled Text

“As a radio show host, I have had direct access to the world’s best psychics and mediums. No one has consistently amazed me more, than the young and gifted Thomas John. His details are so acute and his information so accurate, that my listeners never cease to be astounded, comforted and healed. The only thing as vast as his mediumship abilities is his equally beautiful heart. There are no skeptics after a session with Thomas John and the world can breathe a sigh of relief that loved ones never die.”

Laura Smith, WABC Radio Host and Media Personality.

“A wonderful introduction to the Other Side. His stories delight, entertain, and inform.”

Echo Bodine, author of The Little Book of True Ghost Stories and Echoes of the Soul

“According to psychic medium, Thomas John, ‘The dead view life as a classroom that teaches us vital lessons.’ In his meticulously researched, yet delightfully readable Spirit ‘tell-all,’ John shares healing messages from the Other Side, producing an often humorous, but always authentic guide showing us how we, the living, can focus on unconditional love, gratitude and forgiveness to manifest greater meaning, purpose and joy in our everyday lives.”

Kathy Eldon, author and film producer
