A NEW BOOK BY BILL GLADNEY
Crossing the Threshold
How the Afterlife Teaches Us to Live with Love, Purpose, and Peace
What if the questions you have carried about death, the people you love, and the purpose of your life actually have answers?
What happens when I die? Will I still be me? Will I see the people I love again? Why am I here in the first place?
Bill Gladney has spent much of his life asking those questions. But his search for answers took an unusual path.

His experiences with the spirit world began in childhood and eventually led him to become a practicing psychic medium and rescue medium. Through his professional work, Bill has communicated with those who have crossed and helped hundreds of lingering souls move from fear or confusion toward the Light.
Across those encounters, along with visions and spiritual guidance, he began noticing something remarkable: the same patterns appeared again and again.
When he began looking at those experiences alongside the wisdom found across spiritual traditions, a larger picture started to emerge. A picture not only of what may happen after death, but of why we are here and what this life may be asking of us.
Crossing the Threshold is that picture.
You continue.
You are received.
Love remains.
Your life matters.

ABOUT THE BOOK
A Compassionate Map of the Soul’s Journey
What happens after we die? Do we remain ourselves? Are we reunited with the people we love? And can understanding the afterlife change the way we live today?
In Crossing the Threshold, rescue medium Bill Gladney draws on his experiences with souls, Spirit, and the planes beyond physical life to offer a clear and reassuring account of the soul’s journey. He explores what happens as we leave the body, how we are received, why some spirits need help, and how every life contributes to the greater Web of Souls.
This is not simply a book about death. It is a book about living with less fear, loving more fully, and recognizing that your life has meaning now.
