The first time I met Dannion Brinkley in 2008 at his Green Valley home, he had me take his wife Kathryn’s book, Jewels for the Soul, and flip to the first page that “felt right.” Within minutes, he had given me a prophecy that was so dead-on, I couldn’t help but crack a nervous grin.

What he said, well, that’s between him and me, but it was the way he said it that really stuck in my memory. That’s Dannion’s gift—he’s your buddy, even if you don’t know it yet. And he really wants to meet you, if for no other reason than to blow your mind in a spiritual way. The man who’s been struck by lightning twice and claims to communicate with the dead will attempt to read minds, predict the future and entertain the hell out of you during a lecture following a meet-and-greet.
