The hearing of a voice in the absence of a speaker is commonly regarded as a sign of mental illness, yet many ordinary people throughout the ages have had this experience. The voice either calls out the hearer’s name or speaks a few words. It is sometimes recognized as belonging to a relative or friend, who may be alive or dead, or it may be completely unknown.
What is said is typically uplifting, sometimes even life changing, while occasionally the voice may forewarn the hearer of a coming disaster and thereby prevent injury or even death Indeed, the course of human history has been changed by the timely utterances of such disembodied voices.
In this well researched book, Rodney Davis examines numerous historical and present-day cases of this truly remarkable phenomenon. He not only reveals that disembodied voices are generally a positive influence in our lives, but he argues that reality points to the existence of guardian spirits and/or divine beings who take a benign interest in our welfare.
