Synopsis

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The groundbreaking account of life after death that has become a source of comfort, inspiration, and solace to millions

"I felt a surge of energy, and my spirit was suddenly drawn through my chest and pulled upward. My first impression is that I was free. . . ."

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.

Praise for Embraced by the Light

"The most detailed and spellbinding near-death experience I have ever heard."--Kimberly Clark-Sharp, president, Seattle International Association of Near-Death Studies

About this title

Review:

"The most detailed and spellbinding near-death experience I have ever heard."
-- Kimberly Clark-Sharp, president, Seattle International Association of Near-Death Studies

From the Back Cover:

Betty Eadie died after an operation, but was later to recover. It was during the intervening period of a few hours that she had what has been described as 'the most profound near-death experience ever'. Her description of her experience in this astonishing book is one of the most convincing arguments for the existence of life after death, adding to such accounts as George Ritchie's 'Return From Tomorrow' and Dr Raymond A Moody's 'Life After Life'.

You will not fail to be moved by Betty's story. A devoted mother with a loving family, she embarked on a voyage of discovery, leaving her body and learning 'the joy of spiritual freedom'. She saw more, perhaps, than any other person has seen before, and came back with an almost photographic view. 'Embraced By The Light' recounts the people she met, the truths she learned and the magnificent realities of the spirit world.

The afterworld Betty visited was a sphere of understanding, peace and joy. She was given a message to share with others that has filled hundreds of thousands of people with hope. Her experiences changed her life forever. Reading this fascinating, dramatic, and thought-provoking book may change yours too.

Betty J Eadie is a mother of eight children and a grandmother of eight, and is married to Joe. The daughter of a Sioux Indian mother, she left school at 15 to care for a younger sister. She later returned to finish her high-school education, and is now close to completing a college degree. A registered counsellor, she owns a successful business, and works as a volunteer for a major cancer research centre.

Betty's extraordinary experience has led to television appearances in the United States and Japan, and to her participation in a university near-death studies programme. Over the years she has given hundreds of talks about her experience to many groups, including Compassionate Friends (serving those who have lost loved ones), church groups of many denominations and IANDS (International Association for Near-Death Studies).

"The most Profound and Complete Near-Death Experience Ever"
RAYMOND MOODY

"A profound and moving book which is more than an account of a near-death experience – rather it conveys an illuminating understanding of the meaning of life, reminding us of Christ's essential message of love"
DAVID LORIMER, Director, 'Scientific and Medical Network'

"One cannot but be caught up in the power of Betty Eadie's experience – whatever it was – and in the profound sense of listening to someone who has been in the presence of God"
MARTIN PALMER, Director 'International Consultancy on Religion, Education and Culture'

"There is a great secret contained in 'Embraced by the Light'. It is something that the great prophets and spiritual leaders have tried to tell us for thousands of years. Betty Eadie learned it by nearly dying. It has the power to change your life"
MELVIN MORSE, M.D. Best-selling author of 'Transformed by the Light' and 'Closer to the Light'

"Even after interviewing over one thousand near-death experiences, Betty Eadie's account remains the most detailed and spellbinding near-death experience I have heard. What happened to Betty is thought-provoking, inspirational and comforting"
KIMBERLEY CLARK-SHARP, 'President Seattle International Association of Near Death Studies'
