Summary: This book is encouraging, convicting, and ever new.
Review: Each time I read this book, it encouraged and convicted me in meaningful ways. Each time something new struck me as if I had not read it before. The pictures of life within are unforgetable and piercing. It is a MUST for both those who love God and for those who do not believe God exists. The reading of this book will change your life. I will never be the same and neither will anyone who reads it. It is very deep and yet so simple. IT IS A "MUST READ" FOR EVERYONE.

Summary: Heaven is truly opened in your mind, heart and soul.
Review: Everyone needs to read this book, Christian or not, because this book will answer as many questions as it brings up in the mind of the reader. This book reads like two seperate books. I recommend that you read the book itself and then read the notes in the back, like book number two. I spent two afternoons virtually glued to this book, I did not want to put it down for any reason. I cried, laughed, prayed,was in total wonderment, enthralled.....need I go on? Wow, there are not words adaquate enough to express how I feel about this exquisite journey Anna was privelidged enough to take, through grace from God alone. I know that, I know that, I know....For those who believe no explaination is necessary, for those who do not believe no explaination is possible. This book takes you on a journey from first word to last into,simply put, heaven and all of the facets there in. You will meet "characters" whos names you will not forget, you will be going through your everyday things and these names and circumstances will just pop into your head for more thought and contemplation. I think this is a gift from God. I know this book is a gracious gift from the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, as are its authors Anna and Albert. Read, learn, and inwardly digest this wonderful book, then do like I did, read it again and again because God reveals more of himself each time you do. God Bless Everyone who even thinks about reading this, those who do will be BLESSED IMMEASURABLY.

Summary: Very Misleading
Review: I am a follower of Jesus Christ, and I have read this book. This author goes on to call God The Father "DADDY"? It sounds like she can call him all different cute names. I always thought God was suppose to be called Father, Jehova, Hosanna, or all of them. Not Daddy! Well, idk. If you think this book is true. Good luck

Summary: Caution: BIG RED LIGHT AHEAD!
Review: I began to read this book because it was forwarded by somebody I considered highly credible. In retrospect, I now believe that individual - as well as many who read this, are overtly deceived. If God clothes Angels like men, it could have been mentioned in the scriptures somewhere in the centuries that it covers historically. If there are mysterious escape valves leading from earth to heaven that are accessible to mortals, they could have been mentioned by the prophets, priests and Godly kings and used by them. Jesus might have used these Himself...yet no mention anywhere, not even by the disciples who lived intimately with Him and when He descended into hell and visibly ascended to His Father before a large crowd...no escape valves, no weird tunnels, no transparent steps, no angels in the dress of Jesus day...just the clouds, historically described angelic figures and that's that. Why? I can't answer that. Can you? Why does this "vision" break with tradition including John's transcribed glimpse into eternity future? Until this book did God just fail to keep up with modern times? Or is it possible that eternity past, present and future are unchanging, like the God with whom there is no shadow of turning? No, I don't understand all of this either. None of us do and that is why it is so easy to pry childlike fingers away from that which we do know and tempt us to fall, to fall away from that which held us first...the simple faith we came to because of the all encompassing love of God.Jesus romancing the woman in this story, I don't care if it is a religious parallel about the church of some sort - it's a clearly detailed, semi-seduction steaming up the windows of the realm of supposed glory. What's that about? Even we mortals know the difference between EROS and AGAPE - then, why doesn't the lord of glory presented in this (sic) "vision?" Furthermore, why is it necessary for Christ to change into an eagle and carry this woman to view a supposedly victimized satan in his painstakingly described vast, bleak and lonely kingdom? What god made a prisoner of this tortured creature? Pray tell, for what reason should we feel remorse for a willful enemy who feels none of his own? Yet here we see satan portrayed pitifully as viewed through the eyes of a Christ who is yearning for the chosen enemy of all that is God? Make no mistake, even the very Elect may be deceived by such insidiously directed attempts of the enemy to worm his way into your sympathies, interrupting your peace with God by creating insidious doubts as to the nature and purpose of God. This book is a confidence destroyer for those of simple faith and traditional hope and embellishes upon scripture as it is written. I regret the day I ever opened the cover. This book is dangerous in my opinion. It may be very damaging to those who earnestly soul search for God's answers to their most perplexing questions about eternity, themselves and the fullness of God. If you are having trouble discerning what you seek in His Living Word please avoid searching for it from this book, similar modern accounts or from this generations "visions" and visionaries without scrupulous, heart rending prayer first and well balanced, Godly guidance. Many of this generation are striving hard to draw close to God and eternity for comfort in every way imaginable but we've got to stop imagining and letting others imagine it for us and just take God at His word. Hold onto the truth He has given in His Word and don't let ANYONE take it from you!

Summary: The Heavens Opened
Review: I have been a Pentecostal Christian for over 25 years and I have read many books on people's experiences of "visions" and "dreams,"about Heaven and Paradise. This book written by Anna Rountree is one of the most fasinating collections of messages, from the Lord Jesus Christ, that I have experienced since I read a book written by Merrietta Davis, "Caught Up Into Paradise!" I never thought I would ever read a book that so captivated my attention and curiousity as Sister Rountree has in this very detailed writing. I found the experience with her on our "Father's Lap and wrap in His Arms," so personal and encourageing! She calls Him "Daddy" several times. For some who do not know, the Greek word "Abba," means "Daddy! We cry Abba, Father in Romans 8:15. I had gentle tears streaming down my face in almost every chapter. I sang along with the songs she recorded hearing in heaven. I absolutely "Loved" her conversations with many angels. I did not know that angels could be so funny and entertaining!!! You will laugh, cry, remenise with her times with Jesus, and rise up, in your spirit of prayer, in a stronger force against the powers of evil that are deceiving God's precious children of the Church and of the world system. Her 73 pages, of Biblical and personal notes, at the end give an extrememly strong foundation for the credibility of this writing!!!
I was alittle leary of "new visions" others were having until I read in Acts 2:16-21 where it says, God shall pour out of His Spirit in the last days, young men and women shall see visions and older men and women shall shall dream dreams!!! I am purchasing her other book tonight!

Summary: I really Liked this Book
Review: I really liked this book, and was impressed with the spiritual revelations that occurred through her heavenly experience. It reminds me of another book that I read psychic gifts in the Christian life where the author got struck by lightning and went to heaven, and came back a much different person, and helps heal people now. I can't wait to be there myself - but until then I will try to make heaven on earth.

Summary: The best heavenly/prophetical account I've ever read...
Review: I've never, ever, in all my life read anything like this book. And I've read everything. Most of these "I saw heaven" books are weird and poorly written. This book, on the other hand, is in a class all its own. I find Sister Rountree's account to be credible and written with a keen matter-of-fact style. Sister Anna graciously spares us from religious cliche and Bible catch phrases. Instead, she's direct and unapologetic, adding very little personal interjection. She kindly tells us what she saw and experienced and lets us have it as close to first hand as possible without actually being there ourselves. This masterpiece left me numb for days--literally. There's so much in here to digest. I read it straight through in one day. I'm about to read it for the second time. I'm sure I'll read it a few more times, too. Folks, there's nothing out there in the same neighborhood as this book. If there is, please email me!
