 wer: Living in the Post-Apocalyptic World by Candace Frazee is getting good
  reviews.\nCome to the next Meetup and meet Candace!\n\nCheck here for more
  details about Emanuel Swedenborg.\n\nBOOK REVIEW\n\nThere is An Answer: Li
 ving in the Post-Apocalyptic World\, by Candace Frazee. Bunny House Books\,
  Pasadena\, California. 2008\n\nAvailable through Candace Frazee\, $30 plus
  $5 s/h U.S.\, Canada\, Mexico\, $10 s/h International. Write to 1933 Jeffe
 rson Drive\, Pasadena\, CA 91104. \n\nCandace Frazee has been writing a mon
 thly newsletter about “Emanuel Swedenborg” called S.I.L.A.\, Swedenborg Inf
 ormation Los Angeles\, now for 20 years. This book is a celebration of this
  contribution\, by selecting from all these newsletters. This was a blurb a
 bout Swedenborg: “You know the Swedish\, 18th century scientist that spoke 
 to angels! Never heard of Swedenborg (1688- 1772)? You’re not alone. For 20
  years\, she has been helping others to understand Swedenborg. People from 
 as far as Australia\, Japan\, and Kenya write to Candace with difficult que
 stions about life and death.”  \n\nCandace has filled this entertaining and
  informative volume with a whole string of photos of meetings with notewort
 hy people\, both New Church\, business friends and TV producers. She was in
 terviewed on NBC news in Atlanta in 1996\, when the Mayor of Atlanta procla
 imed July 2 to 6\, 1996\, to be “Angel Festival Days” (p. 376). \nCandace a
 lso is well known for hosting the annual Angel Festival in Los Angeles\, no
 w in its 15th year\, and is in the Guinness Book of Records for “most bunny
  items in the world.” \n\nThe paper back 377-page book is full of pictures 
 and illustrations\, and reads like a glossary of straight information on ev
 erything linked to Swedenborg or the New Church. It has a colorful front co
 ver\, with the bottom half a cartoon of Candace with a magnifying glass loo
 king at a book. There are 10 chapters\, from “Meet God’s Ghostwriter” throu
 gh Angels\, Cults\, down to ‘Real Dead People Swedenborg Visited\,’ and ‘Wh
 o’s Who in Swedenborgianism.’ This last chapter begins with ten pages listi
 ng all the well known people who have “owned Swedenborg’s books\, used his 
 doctrines\, been members of the New Church\, or written about him\,” etc. T
 en pages\, with dates. Did you know Hector Berlioz is among them? A shorter
  list tells us who “plagiarized Swedenborg\, used him to their own advantag
 e\, or borrowed terminology without giving credit\, or even twisted his wor
 ds\, or attacked him!” There is a space for you to list more names if you k
 now them.\n\nOn p. 222 and 223 are pictures of Candace’s wedding to Steve i
 n 1994\, with Rev. John Odhner as one of the officiating ministers. One pic
 ture has Steve’s buddies forming an arch of bicycle wheels! Steve is an afi
 cionado of racing bicycles\, having invented and patented several revolutio
 nary bicycle parts. The pictures come with an answer to a question about ma
 rriages in heaven!\n\nOther pictures are very informative\, such as Sumeria
 n and Mesopotamian stone reliefs of winged humans. There are 10000 year old
  cave paintings of humans with halos. Candace explains the ancient knowledg
 e of the meaning of wings\, and that “people’s understanding of angels wane
 d so far that most think angels are separate beings with halos and wings!” 
 (p. 171)\n\nYou may pick and choose your “answers” to questions you have no
 t even thought of\, spending hours of reading in this delightful publicatio
 n. Candace thanks all her “consultants” crammed into one page Acknowledgmen
 ts in front. Her Bibliography also reads like a Who’s Who in the New Church
 \, all on its own. A short index directs you to topics you may not think of
  yourself. She consults for veracity\, and I myself think she deserves a me
 dal for spreading news of Swedenborg further and wider than most.\n\nPasade
