Embraced by the Light and the Bible

Hello, did either of the people who posted a review here even read the title of the book they were posting for? This book is one of several books written arguing that Ms Eadie could not have experienced something that agreed with traditional Judeo/Christian beliefs. Betty J. Eadie's book, Embraced by the Light, is quite a popular book with Mormon's (my mother, who is LDS gave it to me). As an ex-mormon I found it rather distasteful... I could almost hear one of my childhood Sunday school teacher's voice telling the story while I read. I was horrified by how it presented her religious views (she is LDS and joined the church several years before her account was published although the event was said to have taken place prior to her joining the church). This book, Embraced by the Light and the Bible by Richard Abanes compares Ms Eadie's book with the truth as found in the Bible. I recommend it.

When I was 13 (I am 19) my mother read this book and said that she wasn't afraid to die after reading it. Since then I have read this book 3 times and have found it wonderful after each time I read it. My mother died whe I was 14 and this book has helped me to understand the reasons why we live and die and has helped me to have a relationship with God and our Saviour in my everyday life. I recommend this book to anyone who has ever wondered the big "Why" of life and struggle. Betty speaks of the truth that we have all forgotten.

This book has shaped the way I live my life even today 5 years later. It took away my fear of dying and gave me hope,and it continues to guide me and make me aware of how I treat other people. and for anyone who has lost a loved one it will surely bring a since of peace.unforgetable!!
