Publisher's summary

Part memoir, part spiritual exploration, part inspiring stories, Expect the Unexpected provides knowledge and support for tapping into spiritual realms we do not fully understand.

Bill Philipps had the kind of childhood that seems too tragic to be true - drug-addicted parents, parental kidnapping, homelessness. At 14, he watched his mother die. Two days later she appeared to him, letting him know she was spiritually alive. From then on, spirits "knocked on his door."

He tried to ignore them. He wanted to be "normal." But as he pursued his singing gift at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, his psychic gift pressed for a hearing. As Philipps gave readings as a psychic medium, witnessing the comfort the spirits offered, he came to accept and honor his abilities.

With testimonies from many people, Expect the Unexpected is an honest firsthand account of how spirits communicate with Philipps, why he believes they chose him to do this, and how he works with them to ultimately convey their messages. He offers insight and suggestions to help ask for and receive signs with or without a medium and shows why he is convinced that readings always contain the possibility for love, peace, healing, and hope.

Thank you Sr.
Your a blessing... Shannon

Great perspective …

I especially enjoyed Bill’s explanation of how he learned from his mistakes and improved his responses to his clients. His preparation and meditation seemed simple and easier than most and his delivery of the spirit’s messages seemed spot on!

I will now be expecting the unexpected

Bill is a truly gifted human. I recently went to see him and decided to read this book. The audio version was best fit for my schedule. I loved it - the experiences from others who had seen him along with the messages Bill wanted to get through throughout the book were all so beautiful. We think we are alone but we have those around us that we are unable to see who always wish the best for us and are guiding us in our journey. I look forward to diving in to his other book, signs from the other side.

Comfort, Healing, and Hope

Love the scaffolding in Bills book, cushioned and supported by heart touching anecdotes. Bill does an excellent job of breaking down his gift and has a story (or 10) to come along side each point he is conveying. All while answering the questions we didn’t know we had, and building up to “Why him?, Why not him?, and eventually, Why not you?” I have been a believer in signs for quite some time, but after the passing of my grandmother, which has been extremely difficult, I needed to be surrounded by some comfort and reassurance. Bill did just that as well as the narrator Bob with his comforting cadence and soothing tone. Thank you both and to all of the unsung heroes backing this production.

Extremely informative

This book was extremely well written. Bill explained his life developing his gift, the trials & tribulations accepting this gift, and what exactly goes on in his mind as the spirits push for their turn to speak. The narrator, Bob Souer, has a delightfully soothing voice. His enunciation and enthusiasm with words is the best I've heard. Anxious to start Bill's 2nd book.

Powerful and comforting!

I loved this book! The stories contained within provided validation that Spirit can comfort those through Bill’s gift. I’ve literally listened to it 10 times!
