Customer Reviews

Outstanding heavenly recalls

Have read several by Dr Moody, now Mr. Brinkley. These two writers now have my undivided attention. Very easy to grasp the concept of NDE's. Answers several of my questions.

Profoundly life-changing

This is a book that I read over and over again, each time learning something new. It has helped me become more compassionate, less judgmental, and more confident in both my relationship with God and in a beautiful afterlife. Dannion died and came back twice ... and the kind of life review he experienced each time reveals a great deal about the consequences (both positive and negative) of our actions here on Earth. When Dannion hurt others, he felt their pain during his Heavenly life review. When he helped others -- like the time he treated a group of homeless women to dinner -- he felt how good they felt. "The meal cost me more than a hundred dollars," he recounts, "but the price was nothing compared to the joy of reliving it." I highly recommend both this book and Dannion Brinkley's second book, At Peace In The Light.-- Graciela Sholander, http://dreamitdoit.net

My Fav. NDE Books- I've Been There Too

One day in 1995 I died, and had a NDE. Ever since then, I've been reading everything I can on the subject. According to most stories I've read, I had an unusual one, not going down a tunnel, but experiencing many interesting phenomena all the same. It seems to me that there are some NDE books and magazine articles that are just hype, and published just to give recognition. I have found, through my many years and multitudes of books on the subject, that there is an underlining truth and spirit that pervades the true experiences. So, I have compiled a list of my best reads for NDE books - ones that I consider genuine and adding validating light to the personal NDE experience. I have left out compilations, these are personal narratives. I hope you enjoy them too. Embraced by the Light ------by Betty J.

If you're only going to buy one NDE book, get this one!

This is one of the most intelligently written NDE (near death experience) books I've ever read. (And I've read a few...) Dannion's story was an amazing one and he told it very well.It is a compelling book - I found myself devouring the book cover to cover and then perusing it a second time. One of the most interesting things I picked up on in this book is his experience of returning to this life. He had been sent down to the morgue, with a sheet draped over his body, when he came back to life. And he talked about the moment of decision - whether to go back or to remain in the next life - and once that decision was made, his body stirred and he was alive again.This (to me) was a wonderful proof that there is no power in the body. It is not the body that makes decisions about life. Dannion's body was dead but once he decided to return to (this) life, the body was restored. The human scene shifted to correspond with the spiritual reality and the spiritual decisions. Read the book and draw your own inspirations, revelations and education. It was a great read and a book with much depth.

Thought provking, incredible book

Dannion Brinkley's book, Saved By The Light" is a truly, incredible, life-transforming book. I would say that after reading this book, which by the way, I could not put down until I finished it, Dannion was indeed "saved by the light". What I found so fascinating was the turn-around - the total turn around of his life. I had heard about life reviews before, but the impact for me, was that not only do we get to review our life, but also get to review how the other person felt whom we were hurting, whether it be conscious or unconscious. How our actions have a "ripple effect" in the world. I can only imagine what pain that must be. I was also especially moved by the messages that the book imparts, messages of God's love and kindness and forgiveness. These messages are old, yet they have spanned time and remain true today in the new millennium and I feel, are needed more than ever. Dannion's will to survive, and his peacefulness on accepting death helped me see that we are indeed much more than our human bodies. I commend him on his hospice work and sharing with us that death is a time for love and forgiveness. He shows us that death is a healing time for all families and that death is actually the beginning of our next life, our next adventure. Nothing to fear, but to embrace instead. The quote that most inspired me from the book from the Being of Light is, "What you are is the difference that God makes. And that difference is love." This is a book that needs to be passed on and on and on! I cannot recommend it enough. For those who have recently lost a love one, this book will provide immeasurable comfort for you.
