Candace Frazee has been writing about Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) for 20 years. People from around the world ask her questions about him.

Book Review about Swedenborg
by: Mawutodzi K. Abissath

For those who believe in the doctrine or concept of reincarnation, it will not be difficult for them to consider the proposition that the author of this book, Candace Frazee has lived and continues to live a thousand lives in one life.
If I may explain myself. It is my considered opinion, of course, am I not entitled to my own opinion? That it will be practically impossible for someone who had never lived before, especially during Swedenborg’s time to impose such a herculean task on herself to provide answers to questions about Swedenborg.
And the ease with which she has been discharging this seemingly insurmountable self-imposed task tempts this reviewer to speculate that Candace Frazee herself could be a reincarnation of Swedenborg. (But this review is not about speculation as to who was Candace Frazee in her past life – No, it is about a book she has written – entitled There is an Answer in America and posted an advanced copy to me all the way in Ghana – West Africa, to review it for her).
It is in my own interest to confess that I am yet to complete reading the entire 377- page-book before attempting this review. But my inner conviction about the sincerity of the author and the diligence with which she approached her work is enough to commend her efforts. If the “Advanced Copy uncorrected proof” she sent to me is anything to go by, then I can guarantee readers who may be privileged to lay hands on the final work that they will be handling a gem kind of a book.

On Page 375, among other things, the author wrote: “…Swedenborgianism actually won’t spread like wildfire, for then it would be burning a path threatening destruction instead of healing. Swedenborgianism will spread like sunshine for then it will warm with love and shed light with understanding spiritually into hearts and minds.”
If this statement alone does not reveal the inner beauty and philosophical quality of the author and the spiritual worth of the book itself then I am at my wits end as to what the book is all about. And I can put my last coin on the table that readers of a certain degree of spiritual enlightenment will definitely find this work worthwhile.

It is to this great soul that Candace Frazee dedicates her book to create awareness about Emanuel Swedenborg for the benefit of humanity and to the glory of the Universal Mind. Candace Frazee is also the only human being I have come across on this planet of mysteries who organizes a Festival of Angels in America. It is the expectation of this reviewer to witness the Festival of Angels one day so as to write about it at first hand for the reading pleasure of enlightened souls of our time.

Read what others say about this book:
by: Candace Frazee

“I have There is an Answer near my bed to read before lights out each night. It has a good balance between the lighter and more serious questions and so much bibliographical information about Swedenborg — Candace Frazee has produced a fine volume.”
Richard Watson, Lindenwold, New Jersey

"It is an interesting mix of bunnies, angels and Swedenborg! I love all of the photos and drawings that keep each page interesting. I am wondering if it will be the kind of book one reads cover to cover or snippets at a time since the letters were written for shorter reads. One can certainly open the book up anywhere and find an interesting, thoughtful and well-researched article."

“I got your excellent book. God bless you richly for your work! Don’t give up! Sadly that your book is in English only because it has so many serious questions and so many real answers. I read it avidly. Must say that your biography is very interesting for me. You must continue to write your books....and let our Lord bless you for such the noble work! I can see how many scrupulous, careful and thorough work did you to get gold wise grains to make some reply... It is like to mine a gold = to obtain gold grains of the spiritual wisdom."
