As with "Embraced by the Light", I felt the spirit so strong. This book is filled with so much spiritual truth and beauty. I am grateful for Betty's experience and her willingness to share her insight and what she has learned with the world.

Probably her best of them all! Answers a lot specific questions about the afterlife. Very comforting about death and reasons things in life happen as they do. As with her first book Embraced By The Light, there’s simply no evidence whatsoever I can see as to why she wouldn’t be truthful about her experiences and knowledge which makes her writings very plausible. I try to keep my ratings conservative and reasonable here, but I have to say this book really is amazing!

If you had read The author "Embraced By The Light" you would love the continuation of her journey of discovery and awareness as someone that had discovered an entirely new dimension. The Ripple effect brings not only for the perception of the new afterlife, but also presents how she readapted to her new state of consciousness acquired by such experiences.

I love all three of Betty Eadie. Her books have brought me so much comfort. Mostly, gaining an eternal perspective during hard times. We go through hardships and it's really not anything about the people involved or the circumstances, but maybe because before this life we wanted to learn something- how to be more patient, how to be more kind, how to forgive, and on and on. The experiences we have now just help us learn those things. I don't think we had any idea what going through those "hard times" would be like, but we wanted to learn and grow so much to be like our Heavenly parents! So, now we're here and sometimes we have forgotten that purpose and forget what we signed up for. So, to those people that teach us and we teach them-thank you! We are all learning to be stronger and more loving... one step at a time. I've read each of her books twice. Literally, if Im having a hard time, I can turn to "chapter 7" or "chapter x" to REMEMBER. We have even more important things we can do to help during our hard times and remember.....prayer is one of them. He listens.

This was the book that opened my eyes to books about the supernatural and the afterlife. Purchased for one dollar, on a whim, at the Dollar Tree (in the early 2000s), I immersed myself in this book and was fascinated. Here's my review from 2018:

It's not chalk full of afterlife stories or information, but it's encouraging. I'm just a bit leery now about Eadie. It doesn't seem she's Christian. Like some interesting but new age books I've read, Eadie seems to believe that we're on Earth by pre-arrangement. We choose our parents and life situations that will help us grow. We can't remember our past lives in Heaven though our souls are immortal. If we commit suicide or don't take the opportunities in this life that we're given to learn, we will have to keep cycling through this life until we do learn. So, she believes in reincarnation. She does claim to believe in Christ and some type of Hell that she says we choose. It sounds like Eadie is saying God will eventually rescue everyone. The point of the book is that our choices here create ripples and that we need to be careful how we live because we can't see now, in our limited view.

Betty J Eadie wrote THIS?!

I loved the other books by this writer. They were fascinating, comforting and left me wanting more, this on the other hand I found utterly repellent.

In essence this is a "Hard Sell" for her Mormon faith masquerading as a NDE book. Every page is littered with bible verses being rammed down the readers throat and very bad apologetics for the subject of suffering. Whomever did write this is patronizing and unsympathetic in the way that religious apologists are. There is no sympathy or compassion that usually accompanies the works of Betty Eadie and their attempts to convince the reader that the harrowing descriptions of suffering that people are allegedly relating they have gone through is really about "God's Love".
Certainly if I were to have some of my own experiences brushed off as "The divine will of God" I would be left angry and insulted.

Completely repellent and infuriating this one that will leave the reader upset.

It's interesting but too much proselytizing. Too bad the message is so slanted and biased. For something to be totally convincing and ring TRUE, it must apply to everyone.

Your religion is not the one and only. We shouldn't have to translate your Christian view for it to be true.

The first book was great and the second was hit or miss. This one got better toward the end, but this is the only near death experience book I've read where I was pretty skeptical. The lady seems a little crazy.

[Patricia · Rating 5 out of 5]

I appreciated the truths I learned from this book. I recommend it to everyone. Be sure to read her first book for the setting.

[Stacey M · Rating 3 out of 5]

Liked the message in this book--it's about love and loving/forgiving others.
