Just not sure about this book, but some positive reminders to help us in life - By: Sam1878, 05 Sep 2008 
I had this book recomended to me by a person I respect quite a lot & thefore I thought I would give it a go. Firstly I am a lapsed catholic but I do still believein a higher being whether that is God/Jesus/Holy trinity, I don't know, I just know there is something out there I also believein an afterlife, & am interestedin NDE etc. I have also lost my mum & witnessed her dying so, I have quite an open mind to these things
When I started reading the book I found it quite enjoyable & found it easy to read. I could idenify how she went after first dying to visit her family & the first parts of the light & tunnel seemed ok but I started to feel (I cant explain why) quite uneasy with her description of heaven, the looms with people embroiding & started to feel even more uneasy with the council of men at the kidney shaped table & her arguing with Jesus who told her to return to earth as she died prematurely. I still read with interest however, I just didnt feel comfortable with the whole experience she was descibing although elements of it did ring true. I did feel at times that I was having a religion lesson pushed on me somewhat.
I felt a lot of what she said was a little contradictatory. Firstly she says there is no hell but when she returns to her body, these demons come to attack herin her hospital bed & she is told they are angry at her for returning to earth & that they were Satan's messengers trying to destroy her.
She is also toldin the begining she has died prematurely & cannot stay
she has to go back to earth as she has to play out God's plan for her, & yet she sulks & argues with Jesus about going back, which I just feel is strange based on what she tells us about us all having a plan & choosing our destinationin life from the spirit world before we were born. Surely if you are told this by a higher being you wouldnt argue you would just do as you were told??
I also felt a little uncomfortable after I visited her website at the back of the book & she is looking for donations to do a film!!
The positive I did take from the book one that I should have known anyway butin todays hectic lifestyles & selfish society, one thing that is lacking is that we have forgotten that we should be kind to one another & be positive & not negative, to be good to ourselves, & that to love others you need to truely like yourself. I also appreciate what Ms Eadie says about when we are judgemental of other people that it is normally (in most cases) something that deep down we are either scared of or guilty of behavingin that way ourselves. We are also here for such a short time we shold make the most of it: despite this message once, Ms Eadie came back & although it is glossed over & hurried a little it appears she became depressed & distant from her family, which is again a contradiction to what she learntin heaven (In my opinion) about being un selfish & kind to others. In the end she did do something very good, by adopting a baby & taking her into her family: despite her saying Jesus had wiped her memory of what God's plan was for her, I felt she was hinting that this is the plan God had for her all along
Finally, I would read this book with a very open mind, & take from it what you feel is positive & useful for you. I personally would not read any more of her books but have at least taken some positive messages from this
My son... - By: Alexanders mother, 13 Jul 2008 
My son Alexander 13 months picked up this book at a kiosk at Kennedy Airport while I was browsing the store, it was at his buggy level. Upon seeing what he hadin his hand I decided to buy the book. He died of a sudden cot death less than two months later. I had just read this book & cannot describe what comfort it gave my husband & myself. It is now 13 years later, I have never forgotten the wonderful messagein this book, particularly the "peoplein brown coats" . Learn to notice themin your life & it will never be the same again !
A book about an enlightening near-death experience - By: Jyriii, 13 Jul 2007 I liked this book. It's well-written & easy to read. The author writes about her enlightening near-death experience, which I think suits the gnostic ways of thinking. The veil of forgetfullness, Jesus' light as knowledge, power of thinking, spirit to communicate with God, only love matters eventually etc... The Earth is seen as a place of spiritual education. -Though, I don't really appreciate the attitudes towards adapting to earthly churches & defective governing myself.
Mocking God - By: , 05 Mar 2006 
This book appears to be a Christian book & I was asked to read it by another Christian friend to help her advise a new Christian who was completely takenin by this book. Most of what is writtenin this book is not scripture-based. Nowherein the bible does it tell us that we were spirits before we were created as human beings. Neither does the bible tell us that we can determine when we are born & how long we will live & how we will die. God determines all these things. As Christians we are taught not to delve into the spirit world - as what appears to be good spirits are actually evil spirits posing as good spirits. The lack of scriptural referencesin this book proves that the book is not writtenin a way that it is backed up by scripture - rather it is completely the opposite. I would strongly advise anyone who is considering becoming a Christian NOT to read this book - as a Christian it has caused me great concern that someone is using God's name to write a book that does not give Him his proper place - as the one who isin control of our lives. What is writtenin Revelation about heaven & Christ's second coming is all that we need to know - otherwise the bible would have written more about it. The important thing is that we repent of our sins & serve God & put Him firstin our lives - only then can we be assured of a placein heaven when we die.
