- Narrator: Doug Warrings reads a text assembled from other people's transcribed sessions, so one voice carries every subject inside it.
- Subjects: Past-life regression, the afterlife and rebirth, karma, hypnotherapy treated as research
- Tone: Calm, methodical, and entirely unbothered by how strange it sounds
- Bottom line: Worth eleven hours if you want the raw session material rather than a tidy argument assembled on top of them.
Somebody's verdict got pasted into the description slot of this audiobook, and the seam shows in the very first line. "A well-written book that is a curious reminder that our in-between life with all its information lies within our subconscious" is a reader talking about a book, not a publisher describing one, and the actual publisher copy begins in the paragraph underneath it. Once you have seen the join, the whole page reads differently. Ozark Mountain Publishing released the recording in January 2016, and the first thing it tells you about itself is second-hand.
Somebody's Verdict Pasted Into the Description Slot
Underneath that borrowed opinion sits a claim worth weighing on its own terms. Dolores Cannon spent sixteen years on hypnotic research and past-life therapy, and the copy says hundreds of separate subjects, brought back to the moment of their own deaths, described the same things: the same spirit realm, the same return. Repetition across strangers is the entire argument here. Nothing else is offered as proof, and nothing else needs to be if the repetition holds up. Whether it does is left to you, at some length.
What follows is a list rather than a case. Guides and guardian angels. Ghosts and poltergeists. Planning your present lifetime and your karmic relationships before you are born. The significance of bad lifetimes. Perceptions of God and the Devil. That is the register of a reference work assembled from sessions, not of a book building toward a conclusion, and it sets expectations correctly: you are getting subject matter in sequence, and you can stop caring about any given topic without losing the thread of the next one.
Where the record misdirects is the shelf. This record sits in health and wellness and carries a Psychology and Mental Health tag, which describes the method but not the contents. Hypnotherapy is the instrument; reincarnation, the spirit hierarchy and the afterlife are the subject, and a buyer browsing wellness for sleep technique or anxiety tools will find something else entirely. The second genre listed, religion and spirituality, is the accurate one, and it deserves to be first.
Warrings Reading for Every Subject Under Hypnosis
A single entry on the page carries more than its star rating suggests, because it reports a structure rather than a feeling. That response singles out the spirit guides, the various temples, and the mechanics of karma, then fastens on one image: an inverted pyramid, with the source of everything at the point and the guides, spirits and mortals spread across the wide base that gives existence its meaning. That is an actual idea, stated compactly, and it is the clearest signal on the record of what the middle hours contain.
Reading duty falls to Doug Warrings, and the casting question here is unusual. Material of this kind began as many different people answering questions under hypnosis, which means one reader must stand in for every one of them, and the distinctions between subjects live in the phrasing rather than in any performed difference. That is a real production decision, not a small one, and the page states the credit and leaves the rest to a sample.
Scope is the other thing to settle before you commit. Eleven hours and nineteen minutes is a shade over eleven and a quarter hours, which is generous for a book with no plot to carry you and no chapters advertised anywhere on the listing. Taken in half-hour pieces around the topics that interest you, that length is an asset. Taken straight through in the hope of an argument that builds, it will feel like considerably more than eleven hours.
Searching Eleven Hours for Whatever Comes Next
A four-star response puts the honest warning better than any summary could: this reads like a transcript from trances, taken while people were being questioned during regression therapy. That entry then itemizes what it went looking for, the silver cord and astral travel, the distinction between spirit and soul, a rereading of Satan and demons and heaven and hell, an account of the Fall that runs close to the biblical one. It also predicts the book will be considered controversial, and that prediction is fair.
Navigation is the practical problem, and the copy makes it worse by closing its list of subjects with "And much more". No chapter titles appear on the listing, no running order, nothing to say where the guardian angels sit relative to the poltergeists. On a book you will want to dip into rather than march through, that absence has a cost you pay in real time, searching an eleven-hour file by ear for something you already know is in there somewhere. It is the one job print does better on material like this, and the page never raises it.
A second problem sits in the written column itself. The entry that opens by calling this one of those books that changes lives then breaks off mid-word, stopping just as it reaches the specific truths it says the book offers about life between death and life, so whatever it was building toward never arrives. At the other end, the shortest entry on the page runs two words, "Great read", and those two words are the format problem in miniature: this is a recording, and the vocabulary the page attracts belongs to print.
Listeners Who Already Accept Reincarnation as a Premise
Listeners who already accept reincarnation as a premise will find this easy company, and one response says so from inside that position, describing the book as a source of hope and peace about things it could not otherwise explain. That same entry misspells the author's given name and reports that she has since died, which is worth knowing and appears nowhere in the publisher copy: the page you are buying from has not been updated to say that the research it describes is finished.
Look elsewhere if you want evidence in the ordinary sense, because the method is the evidence and no outside corroboration is offered anywhere. Skip it too if hypnotic recall as a route to fact strikes you as unsound, since eleven hours of it will not change your mind and the book never argues the point. The right listener treats these as reported experiences, finds the accumulation of matching detail interesting, and is willing to sit with a book that never once raises its voice to persuade.
A Few Questions About Between Death and Life
Is the Between Death and Life audiobook one continuous argument or a run of separate topics?
The publisher copy answers this by listing subjects rather than chapters: guides and guardian angels, ghosts and poltergeists, karmic relationships arranged before birth, the significance of bad lifetimes. That reads as a topic sequence rather than a thesis with stages, so the hours are likely to reward selective attention more than steady progress.
Does this audiobook assume you already know the author's other work?
Neither series field is filled in, so nothing on the record places it in a sequence. The copy introduces the method from the ground up, describing sixteen years of hypnotic research and past-life therapy before it describes a single finding, which suggests a starting point rather than a continuation.
