I have been feeling low on inspiration and spiritual connection with life, therefore this review makes me intrigued to take a look at the book. I appreciate your honest review of the book and can understand how frustrating it must have been to have to read a book littered with so many errors. I hope the author can make the grammatical fixes and improve upon the book in the future.

Great review! This book seems just as spiritual as it is religious, so I can see it appealing to more than just a Christian audience as well

An interesting review of a book that sounds almost like a Christian version of a book called "Conversations with God, " by Neil Donald Walsh. Both books claim that messages or quotes come directly from God or, in this case, heaven. I enjoyed the previous book and it sounds like this book is also entertaining and inspirational. The layout sounds useful, although the grammar, as well as other problems, may annoy some readers, although I probably wouldn't be unduly bothered. Thank you for an interesting review.

Last words from above by Jeremy Brown

Thanks for those words! It helps me imagine what the book will be about, and even with the things you mentioned (About not being checked by a professional and the pros about the book) it gives a pretty solid image of what I'll expect, helping me find out if i'd read it or not.

Unfortunately, I will have to pass this book, because I don't like reading non-fiction as it is and especially if book is related to subjects of religion, inspiration and meditation. No offense meaning, just my personal opinion.

The title of the book made me think that it was about a grieving but delusional individual hearing loved ones beckoning him to come meet them. Fortunately, it's about a journal of inspirational quotes. Thank you for the review.

I am always a bit skeptical when a person claims to receive messages from Heaven. However, upon reading the quotes in the sample of this book, I find nothing disagreeable. The messages are thought-provoking and reading a few quotes at a time would be a good way to start each day. Nice review! :techie-studyinggray:

From a sampling, this seems like an interest book full of inspirational quotes for daily life. It is always good to find a new way to be inspired. It might be worth a closer look. Well done.

I read the first few quotes. I have to say, there are many errors but the book can come in handy to Christians.

The prologue of the book gives a better understanding about how the author Jeremy brown wrote the book, the quotes there provides more insight about the book, but the only error of the book in my perspective is the grammatical error, why I so much love it if that it s base on christianity, more motivation and insight Jeremy!

As someone who personally struggles with anxiety, along with other health-related issues, I found the book, "Last Words From Above" by Jeremy Brown, gave many motivational quotes and insight coming from a Christianity viewpoint. It was a comforting read which was nice to meditate to some of the quotes and beliefs since I do meditate and also do Yoga.

However, in my opinion, the introduction to "Last Words From Above" is the story of how the author was lead by God to write this book, and how God lead him off to a quiet place and inspired the quotes found within the pages. That part sounded somewhat like Moses from the story in the Bible when God called upon him to write the Ten Commandments. So I found the book to be a tad hokey in that reference, but again that's just my two cents.

I did find many inspiring quotes that I will be applying to my every day life routine/schedule to lift me up and encourage me.

I enjoyed "Last Words From Above," however, it MOST DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE RE-EDITED! There were quite a few punctuation and grammar errors through this read. These errors made it difficult to get the most out of the book.

A Christian book that enumerates a lot of inspirational quotes based on the author´s meditations. These quotes offer insight on many topics. It seems to be an inspirational book and I feel curious to read those quotes and to asses if they are really provided by a force related to God.
