Summary: One of the best books I have ever read!
Review: This book was an inspiration to both me and also my mother. When my brother committed suicide 2 years ago Nov.25, we were having a very hard time coping with it(and still are today) but, this book reminds us that everything happens for a reason and although suicide is very wrong, I still feel that he is with our Lord receiving the love and comfort he needs. We both read this book often to help us feel better. Thank you so much for deciding to share this wonderful experience.Angel Stam

Summary: Inspirational and Compassionate
Review: Betty Eadie's EMBRACED BY THE LIGHT is one of the most thought provoking and inspirational readings I have ever read. She draws out from within what each of us know in our soul. She reminds us that we are children of love and cared for eternally. Samuel Oliver, author of, WHAT THE DYING TEACH US: LESSONS ON LIVING.

Summary: What a comfort!
Review: After the death of my father, grandmother and precious fiance I was devastated! This book has helped me to realize even more vividly how wonderful heaven will be and how my loved ones did not suffer in their death. It brought me such comfort to read of her experiences and how they changed her life. What a blessing that she can take a troubling time in her life and see the true "light" around her and all of us.

Summary: Creative embelishment
Review: I had hoped to find the words of a fellow experiencer, when I found this book. I was so saddened when I found what this woman wrote. It was a mish-mosh of beliefs + Mormon folklore. I wept with saddness because she has no idea of the impacts of her creative storytelling on honest, sincere, searching souls or she would not have written this. If one wants to know about really connecting, I would recomment searching elsewhere (an honorable source is a three time fellow tunnel traveler P.M.H. Atwater) I had so hoped that this book would have helped the world remember the Christ love, as it really is.

Summary: Excellent
Review: This is a book that everyone needs to read. Betty shares her afterlife experience, and it's wonderful. I've often wondered in the past why any of us are born, and have at times felt negatively about life. Betty helps us understand WHY we're here, and what is expected of us. It would be a tremendous comfort to anyone who has lost a loved one.

Summary: What the doctor ordered
Review: I had two people die with in a week and a half. I was so depressed over it.. and had so many questions in my heart. I am a religious person.. and find comfort in prayers, and in my scriptures.. and as I prayed for some peace in my heart.. a very good friend of mine made a suggestion. And told me about this book. I bought it the next day.. and I read right through it. This book is amazing. It's not just meant for Christians, it's meant for everyone. This book settled a lot of thoughts and concerns I had in my heart.. and I really appreciate Betty sharing her experience through her writing. I would suggest this book to anyone to read.. but especially if you lose someone,... well I'll speak for me.. it made me feel better.

Review: Betty answers many important questions and heightens our awareness about this life on earth and our life after we die. Her message has brought me much closer to God and has also freed me to love myself and all others more fully. She tells of her experience with a sense of purpose. The careful reader will realize that her central message is one of Love. I found nothing offensive, only answers which have opened my heart and dispelled many of my useless fears.I am so grateful to Betty for helping me to grow.

Review: The overwhelming number of reviews are positive for Betty's book. I wish to comment on some of the critics. If you are going to renounce something you've read make sure you've read it throughly first. Betty does not say there are many paths to God to the exclusion of Jesus. She says she was shown that we must except Jesus either in this life or in the spirit life to find God. This is because Jesus is Love. This does not exclude other religions either, read her book carefully and you will understand why all religions are precious. (Incidentally, Christianity is not the only religion that believes in Jesus and in the Virgin Mary) We are all here to learn to love each other. Love is the greatest thing and this is Betty's central message. Also Betty explains the differences between the sexes which came as a surprise to her. Male and female can be different without being unequal. God expresses Himself in a multitude of ways. If male and female were identical, we would all be the same sex. Please read carefully and pray for God to open your heart and guide you. Words are powerful - speak with love.

Summary: A Truly Inspirational Story
Review: Profound spiritual experiences such as Betty Eadie's are beyond description in mere words. She describes her journey using a great deal of Christian imagery, but this is to be expected, since she herself is Christian. For those of us who do not come from a Christian background and may not feel comfortable with descriptions of demons and angels going to battle, the important thing to remember is that these elements indicate the way her mind interpreted the events she experienced. Perhaps someone else would have told the story very differently. Such is the nature of these experiences. It's not like reading a news article! The story is to be read with the emotions and heart, not with an objective, literal mind.
