The Essential Nostradamus By Richard Smoley

A Review By Andrea R. Garrison -

The prophecies of Nostradamus have been an ongoing debate for many years. The Essential Nostradamus by Richard Smoley is a thorough read on this iconic man of widespread speculation, prophecy and mystery. What I like about this book is that it is a straight up no-nonsense historical read. It does not exaggerate the psychic abilities of Nostradamus to make him appear larger than life. In this very well documented practical book you get to see Nostradamus as a real earthly man who may have had some extraordinary psychic abilities. Then again his widely perceived intuitive gift may have consisted of a combination of insight with a bit of luck added to the mix. Or perhaps his prophecies were so broadly predicted you could easily and conveniently apply them to certain historical events. This book just adds a very refreshing dimension to the on-going debate on Nostradamus which is so prominently featured in documentaries and many tabloid magazines. In fact I suspect that Nostradamus has been a headliner probably much more than even he could have ever predicted. I would say that it is a great probability that Nostradamus will be a prominent figure in the prophecy arena for many more years. If you want to learn about the history of Nostradamus this is an essential read. For more information on Richard Smoley visit www.innerchristianity.com and listen to the Online With Andrea interview.
