I’ve had a lot deaths in my family, so many that we actually have a particular funeral home that we consider “our families funeral home.”
I’ve had relatives die in accidents,from illnesses, and drug overdoses. . . we just don’t appear to be a hardy group. At this point, I think I have more dead relatives than I have living ones.
I don’t have any religious beliefs, and so, whenever I get to missing one of my many relatives who have died, I read a near death experience book.
Near death experience books make me feel better. I don’t know if I believe that they are the truth, but they are comforting and I appreciate that fact.
Barbara Harris Whitfield is a person who had a near death experience and wrote about it in her book, “Spiritual Awakenings.” The book was an easy and quick read. Whitfield has some suggestions and techniques that she offers up with the intention of assisting her readers in their own spiritual growth, thus turning the book into something of a self-help text.
Whitfield is likable and comes across as genuinely interested in helping others. She offers mostly practical advice, although her book does not cover any information that hasn’t already been written about in other books on the subject. So it’s pretty much same old, same old.
“Spiritual Awakenings” is not a great book, or even a good book. It is an adequate book. It’s OK.
I wouldn’t bother going to great lengths to track a copy of “Spiritual Awakening” down. However, I would get it from the library, or possibly purchase it from a bookstore at a discount price. I think I bought my copy from Amazon for a penny. And that’s what’s up.

Overall nice summary of the subject matter. A lot of references to books. Looking forward to further exploring the subjects introduced in the books mentioned.

Vulnerable enough to share her truth, and spread her Light. Really enjoyed this book, as I navigate my own spiritual journey.
