Spirit is all around us. We just have to think of them, and the loved ones we have lost are with us . . . Isn’t it comforting to know that they are okay, and that one day you will see them again?

Although it might be hard to accept that someone dear to you is no longer present in the way they once were, you can take comfort knowing they are still very much a part of your life. In Surrounded by Spirit Kelvin Cruickshank shows how the bond with people we have loved and lost is not broken – it just takes a different form.

Kelvin's seventh book shares more incredible stories of passing on messages from spirit to the loved ones they have left behind, including one of his most moving readings with the brother of rugby great Jonah Lomu and another with the mother of a young boy swept out to sea and never found.

While you may not be able to connect with spirit in the same way as Kelvin, if the loved ones you have lost are with you in your thoughts and your heart, you are never alone.
