I have enjoyed writing since I was very young. I started writing short stories and poems around the age of eight years old. Prior to that, I would recite little poems that my mother would write down for me. I consider myself to be among the world’s down to earth, peace loving people. I love God, my family, and enjoy the outdoors and photography. I live a simple life in a small town in Central Valley California, where I share a home with two dogs, two turtles, one rabbit, and six cats. I have two grown daughters and five grandchildren. My family and I are very close knit; we pretty much do everything together. They are my best friends. I have worked in the field of Information Technology for nearly twenty years. I have never considered myself a writer. When I read this story it does not seem I am the author at all. I enjoy sharing the inspiration that comes to me. There is much truth to share and so many ways to say it. Sharing my experience of waking up in our home is my humble honor. I am so grateful the story will be available for everyone to experience Heaven with me.
I have read many fascinating NDE books, including most of the NDE bestsellers. Yet, I have not finished an NDE book that exceeds the power and importance of Clouds in Heaven. In her outstanding book, Ms.Casey shatters through disconnected earthly illusions by revealing the loving Heart of soul existence. Her work offers hope by echoing the words of Julian of Norwich, from her NDE 700 years ago, "all that is not well will be well."
As the pages unfold, Ms. Casey paints a descriptive picture of heaven, including a festive celebration in heaven, amazing spiritual beings of light, structured features of profound symbolic value, and Jesus. In addition to these descriptions, she weaves personal stories of growth. She also references the teachings of Jesus, including the Gospel of Thomas (a favorite of mine) and A Course in Miracles (which I will soon read). Either directly or indirectly, Ms. Casey tackles the central questions of existence, including unity, time, love, and ultimate meaning. When I read her book, I think, "Wow, my life makes sense!" I think others will come to the same conclusions as well, given that Sharon Casey serves humanity as a true ambassador from heaven.
I will finish with a quotation that poses an important question for reflection. Casey asks, "What if by judging yourself, you have judged the whole world? And by forgiving yourself, you have set the world free?"
Clouds of Heaven, Beings of Light by Sharon Kay Casey recounts her story of overcoming hardships and finding Christ. There are many inspiring chapters with true accounts of how God saved and changed Sharon's life. My favorite chapter being Reaching the Broken where she detailed her encounter with other drug users and how her testimony got through to them. The poems at the end of the book are uplifting words to dwell on.
My 2 star rating was given because the chapters I found moving and interesting didn't have much detail. I also didn't fully understand the dream that is discussed and re referenced many times. I would have enjoyed more detail of her life and witness to others than focusing on the dream.
Clouds of Heaven, Beings of Light by Sharon Kay Casey is a wonderful, inspiring life story. The author’s vivid creation will place you in the events page by page. A passage from the introduction summarizes how we are all viewed in the eyes of the Father above. ‘We are all equal in the eyes of the Father. We are all equally loved beyond measure, equally given all that we need, equally filled with that which is of Him: light, life, and unconditional love that is forever eternal. This love has no beginning and it has no end.’
Each chapter is introduced by a title which captures the essence of that particular story. From reading, you can tell the author has had an up close and personal experience which has endowed her with a sense of purpose. In “The Laundromat,” she explains the opposition she overcame, to a certain degree, and her encounter with a stranger who changed the pace of her steps. As if inserting pieces of a puzzle, each chapter connects each story together to create an overview of inspiration. It is written as if one is telling a story face to face. You can feel the emotions of each story.
The author creates vivid images of heaven and outstanding descriptions as she narrates. I found myself smiling as I read certain parts more than once. There are so many authors out there who seek to touch people deeply with their work. This is one of those books that will touch you beyond the last page. I would recommend this book for anyone seeking an inspiring read that will touch the depth of your soul.
Clouds of Heaven Beings of Light is a true good news story reporting the author's journey from the feeling of being broken, lost and forgotten to knowing with all her being the meaning and power of God's love. Sharon Kay Casey frankly and courageously shares the pains of her darkest moments as well the physical scars that remain. She had to so that we could see and appreciate the contrast which came as she called out in the days of her deepest pain for relief that was not yet in sight.
Help came in amazing ways and with it spiritual sight was given as well, the gift of seeing Heaven and beings of Light all around. My heart rises each time I hear such a personal proclamation of true faith as a transformative living experience in the here and now. Thank you Sharon for sharing the gift of your story with us, scars and all.

How many of us have wondered if we would ever awaken from the dream of existence, into the far more beautiful experience of living fully alive?

For really, as she so poignantly writes, one's own awakening can come in a heartbeat.

Just as in Sharon's love of A Course in Miracles, you will find yourself drawn back to the pages of Clouds of Heaven, Beings of Light, time and again.
