Summary: Anyone who has lost someone to death should read this.
Review: In June 1999 my 10-year old nephew was hit by a car and killed. My sister (his mother) gave me this book to read. 90% of all my questions and fears were answered by Betty Eadie. I no longer find it quite as painful to live when someone I love is no longer with us. I have no doubt that Danny will live forever and is with us always.Thank you Betty for sharing your story.

Summary: One nagging question...
Review: I read this book a few years ago, when my grandmother was very ill. The book gave me comfort, but left me with one nagging question... Why would heaven, the domain of God, need an army? (I found the answer to that more recently in the writings of Robert Monroe)

Summary: Mormonism in another package.
Review: While this book might bring hope to some, it may be a false hope. Try reading "Deceived by the Light" to get an idea of what I'm talking about. For a truely uplifting experience, try reading the Holy Bible. It may not be as open and accepting to all the religions of the world as Embraced by the Light - but that's what makes it beleivable. There's only one truth - yet many lies. But the truth is the truth; to some, it burns like fire; to others, it's an eternal comfort.

Summary: Comforted me when nothing else could!
Review: One of my best friends gave me a copy of "Embraced By The Light" when I was grieving and hurting about a young friend of mine who had died suddenly in a car crash. Immediately I started blaming God for the tragedy and cursing him for making my heart and soul ache and grieve without any mercy. After I had finished reading the book, which only took me one afternoon and 3 cups of coffee, I realized that God had bestowed an incredible blessing on my friend and he was in a much better place still living in complete happiness and filled with the greatest peace and sense of love, a place I was now looking forward to going after my own bodily death. I no longer curse God for taking my friend, I thank him, because he is now in a better place.

Summary: great feeling and great hope
Review: I was so exhausted everything about my life. I had been stressed and felt hopeless for many years. One day, one of my good friends gave me this book as a gift. And I read it. Since then, my life became much better, and I realized all the tough time I had has some sort of meanings. This book is very easy to read and makes you happy so much.

Summary: from a Family Physician - I recommend it to my patients
Review: People recovering from mental health problems, substance abuse, cancer, death in the family and other tragedies often need hope. I've "prescribed" this book nearly 1000 times with great results. I recommend it highly to anyone needing faith that everything may be okay and happening for a good reason.

Summary: One of my favorite books of all-time
Review: When I first read Embraced by the Light, I had taken it out of the library. I had not experienced having anyone close to me die, nor had I ever had such an experience as a near-death experience. What led me to the library was a broken heart, and the separation from a person I thought was my soul mate. Prior to that, I had been slowly rebuilding my life after being sick with a debilitating disease that forced me to put my life on hold. As a result I was looking for answers. That's when I found the comfort of Embraced by the Light. After asking the question, time and again, of why I'm here, what's the use, and is there anything better after this, Betty J. Eadie showed me a different prespective. I had started reading and studying about near-death expereinces, but Embraced by the Light was the most descriptive account I had ever read. I read that book three times before I had to return it to the library. After that, I couldn't be without it, and bought my own copy. Since then, I've read it three or four more times, and have also given a copy to a dear friend, who is sick like I was. Embraced by the Light is a vivid and descriptive account of dying, that is told in a gentle, yet simple way. Betty J. Eadie talks of her experience with such frankness and simplicity, yet with such awe and excitement, and one finds it hard to not open the heart and mind to her story and the message she tries to deliver in it. If you have lost someone close to you, or have dealt with the stumbling blocks of life so much so that you're asking the same questions I did, get this book. It may be the most comforting thing you can do for youself.

Summary: YOU NEED TO READ THE SECOND BOOK AS WELL TO JUDGE THE FIRST
Review: I read Embraced and was thoroughly moved. For the first time I felt comfortable with God. I had never, in my heart, believed that only one type of person belonging to a specific religion would receive salvation, even though multiple religions today still teach that. I keep two copies of this book around (to loan out,) plus I keep Awakening Heart, which I felt was more credible and truly reinforced the first. Embraced was okay, but Awakening was better. Betty talks about how she encounters a Russian man who died and was dead for THREE days and then woke up on the autopsy table (I remember that news story!)He explains to her that we all see different beings as "God". In other words, you have to read it. Betty talks so strongly about her love of Jesus, but acknowledges the fact that He is represented by other "names". Do not fully comprehend the first book until you read the second, what happened to her after her "visit" and what she is doing now. Like I said, you can't judge the first book without reading the second. I believe this woman and this woman helped me believe in me and my spiritual life.

Summary: Comforting, Peaceful
Review: I listened to the audio, and I felt so peaceful. I used to be scared of the END. I always believed in Heaven and now I don't seem so scared to face it. In about 60 years!! Ms. Eadie tells her story beautifully.
