Fifteen years ago, Bronx-born plumber Tommy Rosa died in a hit-and-run incident. Lying by the road, he felt a tug whisking him off into a tunnel of light to meet his divine teacher in heaven. After several weeks in a coma, Tommy returned to earth to walk again with a heightened sense of connection to one and all.
Around the same time, Dr. Stephen Sinatra, an integrative cardiologist, was dismantling the prevailing ideas of preventive pharmacology with his holistic approach to treatment. In their first encounter, Tommy got the intuitive message that Dr. Sinatra had an infection in his hip. Tommy s insight confirmed Dr. Sinatra s own suspicion. When Tommy shared with Dr. Sinatra the divine revelations of healing that he had learned, Dr. Sinatra was shocked the keys to solving the imbalance of energy that he had identified as the cause of most chronic illnesses were the same as those Tommy was relating.
From this intersection of the divine and the scientific, Tommy Rosa and Dr. Sinatra began writing a prescriptive guide for healthy living. In "Health Revelations from Heaven and Earth," Tommy Rosa reveals the eight revelations, gleaned from God, that will lead you toward revitalized health, a newfound sense of purpose, and spiritual balance fully corroborated by Dr. Sinatra s four decades of medical expertise bringing heaven and earth a little bit closer.
As a student and user of energy healing I really appreciated all this book had to offer. It was a simple story with a message that aligned very closely to my beliefs and helped me to expand my thinking from that foundation. I loved the integration of physical, spiritual and energetic connection. Id love to meet these two men!
Exceptional synergy between lessons from an NDE and tried and true medical analysis and recommendations to optimize and balance your spiritual and physical wellbeing.
Health Revelations from Heaven and Earth by Tommy Rosa, Stephen Sinatra
I really tried to like this book, after all the author, Tommy Rosa died in a hit and run. Then Tommy was whisked off through the tunnel of light and met his Teacher in heaven. Later he returns to earth with a sense of connection to one and all. I liked some of the things Tommy is trying to teach. The going barefoot in the grass - Lying in the grass trying to get our chakras in line - and digging our heels into the sandy beach at the tide is going out- taking our bad vibes with it. But when Tommy would talk about God- well I just don't see Him as a ball of blue light and don't think He is part of everything. (My God is The creator of the universe- Holy & just.) Tommy meets up with Dr. Stephen Sinatra, cardiologist, and he gets this intuitive message that Dr. Sinatra has infection in his hip. Apparently they are on the same wave length and joined forces and wrote this book. I just was not in agreement with most of their "divine revelations." They definitely have a mid eastern influence. (Again- not my belief). I honestly would not recommend this book to anyone. But you may find this interesting as Tommy shares the 8 revelations he says, gleaned from God that will lead you toward more Revitalized health. I won this book on GoodReads and was not coerced in my opinion of the book.

I loved this book! “Health Revelations from Heaven and Earth” explains in easy to understand and do steps how to have the best physical and mentally healthy bodies we can. Using the information Tommy Rosa brought back from his NDE (near death experience), and his own experience from years as a cardiologist, Dr. Stephen Sinatra has woven together easy to understand strategies that are medically sound as well as divinely inspired. Whether you dabble or go all the way, heaven will smile on your efforts.
I won this book from Goodreads for an honest review. Health Revelations from Heaven and Earth is an interesting book.
Tommy Rosa talks about having his NDE and health revelations given to him by God. Tommy is reunited with deceased family members in Heaven. He talks about the brilliant colors of grass, flowers, ocean... Peaceful animals. Unicorns in Heaven. Mr. Rosa is taught by his "teacher" about grounding, vibrations, what to eat for optimal health, and we don't really die.
I find NDE interesting although I wonder how much of it is our innate imagination and experience. Who knows? That specific directives were given is interesting - but again, one can apply any information to another science to suit one's purpose. I found some of the correlations a bit of a stretch. That's not to take away from an inspirational experience and if it helps the author and a few other people, great. http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/1...
I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway. Thank you so much!! This book was vey interesting and I really enjoyed it. I was pleased to find that many of the revelations were things that I had already learned from enjoying the books and tapes of the late Dr. Wayne Dyer. This book was very uplifting.
I am excited to get this book though the First Reads program. The premise of the book is interesting, and I look forward to seeing what advice the author has.
This is the memoir of a young man (Tommy Rosa, a plumber from the Bronx, NY) who was hit by a car, had a near death experience (NDE), and spent time during this heavenly visit with a guide/teacher who taught him much about himself. The book is this story in the author's own words. Overall, I thought Tommy's descriptions and lessons he learned during the NDE were beautifully written and expressed simply and without guile. However, two-thirds of the chapters also contain 'prescriptions' by Stephen Sinatra, MD who translates Tommy's lessons into medical advice. I am sure the intent of adding these 'prescriptions' was good, however there is very little new medical information or suggestions offered by them. They are mostly advice that we've all been hearing for years about achieving good health. After the first few chapters I started skipping over the 'prescription' sections. Otherwise it was a great book!
If this book came out when Rosa had the alleged NDE or even a couple years later it would have had a bigger impact. However, since so much time has passed it almost seems he is just trying to jump on the NDE bandwagon and make his more special by including a hod podge of ideas on how to stay healthy, chackras and other new age philosophy. At the end of the book he tells that his angelic teacher was in fact Jesus Christ which sounds contrived, almost like he is trying to imbue his book with more authority. I think his addition of unicorns was the final straw for me.
This book feels very reminiscent of the Celestine Prophecy mixed in with both scientific health advice and additional new age information. The book came out too late in the game and has too many eclectic ideas to feel complete or real.
Já me debrucei sobre váaaarios livros que tratam de espiritualidade, em seus mais diversos aspectos, e portanto, essa obra me pareceu "mais do mesmo". Recomendaria muito para quem quiser se iniciar nos conhecimentos sobre espiritualidade, mas para quem já tiver se aprofundado no tema, pode parecer superficial. De qq forma, é sempre bom relembrarmos do que parece óbvio, mas que é bem difícil de pôr em prática.
I absolutely loved this book and listened via audible. What a remarkable journey and the Revelations from Heaven will be incorporated in my every day life for sure! A must read for believers in the afterlife and what lies beyond. The amount of information was endless and I took many notes: toxic foods, healthy foods, being mindful to the connection of people in our life instead of scrolling on your phone. I believe - we are never alone!
Non-religious but yet spiritual revelations about divine health. Speaks to holistic makeup - emotional, physical, spiritual, energy. Most important book I have read this year.
Fabulous exploration of the Divine science and Truth of Energy and Vibration medicine from one man's NDE and the physician who medically validated his insights.

I am revising this review because as I have recently experienced the death of a loved one and I had this book fresh on my mind. I embraced the comfort that I had from the near death experience that was reveled in this book. I received this book to read and review. I was torn throughout the book from truth to disbelief. I suggest you read it but hold to what you know as truth. It's about a man who dies in an accident and goes to heaven and comes back with health revelations. It's also about a cardiologist who meets this man, hears his story, and confirms much of the information to be medically sound. There was just enough truth to keep me reading. But in an effort to include all world religions and use Jesus and the Bible to confirm his story that's where the truth breaks down and becomes something else. This is a book that makes you think and can give you great comfort.
A friend shared this book with me at the time of my father's passing. Intensely helpful, beautiful, and well timed for so many reasons. Here is alink to a blog post I created while read this book. I am taking my time to throroughly absorb the lessons and fold them into my daily life: http://lunawings.blogspot.com/2016/09...
The book is about a man who has a near death experience after being hit by a car. He keeps it to himself for several years, then reveals what he feels happened to him. In Heaven, a "Teacher" revealed lots of information to bring back related to healthy living and personal actions. I find the story suspect, because the author quotes his "Teacher" in long and winding paragraphs. It made no sense that he would remember this verbatim. I am a Christian but something about this book did not sit well with me.
What is really interesting about this book, to me, is the way it combines the experiences of both - as the book title says - heaven and earth. What a unique and lovely idea! I personally really enjoyed this uplifting book. To me, especially as someone with medical problems, I find it uplifting to think that this life is not really the end. This book talks about the divine, and how to stay healthy, and talks a lot about near death experiences. If that is your cup of tea, you'll love this book!
I won this book on Goodreads giveaway, thank you. I have to say this was a difficult read for me. I'd read a bit then put it down, read a bit, put it down. I read my bible and I can tell you that I've never read anything about a chakra system. Mixing energy fields and the word of God, well I suppose you can twist the word of God to get people to believe anything, but this just does not work for me. I was so disappointed in this book.
This is not a novel. Is Tommy Rosa's near death experience and Dr. who helped with this book. In Heaven Tommy meets Jesus and is given eight revelations to bring back to earth. The Doctor agrees with this word and elaborates on it in this book. Some we already know some we dont. Is a great read if you are interested in you health or anyone elses.
This is a gem of a book. I like it. It has reinforced my faith that God is with us all the time and there is an afterlife. I have also learned from it. I am going to read the book again and to share it with others who I think will benefit from reading it.
