Book Reviews of Embraced by the Light
Book Review: Gives peace
Summary: 5 Stars
If we had to think that death was the end, for most of us, what would be the point? Why do babies get sick and die? Why are some people born crippled or in poverty, or rich? It hardly seems fair. Embraced by the light by Betty Eadie gives us God's point of view. Earth is a testing ground where we can see if what we're truly made of. We give ourselves weaknesses to make us grow stronger in the overcoming of those weaknesses. We grow emotionally when we are struck by tragedies. We become more empathetic when we go through hard times.
Eadie's book is so clearly written and so down to Earth that it's easy to understand what could be difficult concepts. Wouldn't you know it that we'd have to die to figure out what our lives on Earth are all about. Thank goodness Eadie came back to let us know that there's nothing to fear. That God loves us and that we're eternal.
I love the chapter on choosing a body. About the spirit trying to get two young people together so that they could be his parents. Puts a whole new spin on blaming your parents for your own short-comings. I guess we only have ourselves to blame for how our lives turn out if we're the one choosing our parents.
In the end, Eadie claims that we are here to love each other. Sounds like a great idea and maybe if everyone had a near death experience, we'd all be more loving.
When I Dream
Summary of Embraced by the Light
On the night of November 19, 1973, following surgery, thirty-one-year-old wife and mother Betty J. Eadie died....This is her extraordinary story of the events that followed, her astonishing proof of life after physical death. She saw more, perhaps than any other person has seen before and shares her almost photographic recollections of the remarkable details.
Compelling, inspiring, and infinitely reassuring, her vivid account gives us a glimpse of the peace and unconditional love that awaits us all. More important, Betty's journey offers a simple message that can transform our lives today, showing us our purpose and guiding us to live the way we were meant to -- joyously, abundantly, and with love.
Embraced by the Light is an inspirational map of the afterlife framed in the moment of Eadie's death, and presents a possible answer to the big question, "Why are we here?" An easy read, its subtitle could have been "The Average Person's Guide to Near-Death Experiences." Although heavily filtered through Eadie's Christian worldview, her vision of the afterlife does not include a wrathful deity, but a figure of love and compassion. Some readers may find Eadie's repeated Christian references bothersome, and Embraced by the Light will undoubtedly raise a lot of questions along the lines of "What about reincarnation?" and "What happens to people who are not Christians?" --Brian Patterson
