Transforming Fate Into Destiny: A New Dialogue with Your Soul
Robert Ohotto
Hay House, 2008
The next big thing
I was impressed with this book. Here we have a top notch psychic in possession of a clear and sharp mind. A devastating combination which Ohotto puts to excellent use. He has obviously read voraciously around his subject, particularly pioneering literature arising from ...
