Putting Betty J. Eadie in a different light.,
By MommyTiger "janetrenee2" (Mesa, AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Embraced by the Light and the Bible (Hardcover)
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.

Open mind,

This review is from: Embraced by the Light and the Bible (Hardcover)
I sincerely have pity for anyone who can use religious doctrine to condemn Betty Jean Edie's life/death experience. We need to have an open mind. I, like most others who have read her book, experienced a profound awakening and new hope. I was raised in the Christian religion, which BJE has not forsaken, but I never "connected" with what I was being taught. It took a diagnosis of a major tumor (sarcoma) and the prognosis of 2-4 months to live that made me start seeking the answers I had never gotten. My brother just passed away. Where did I turn? Back to BJE's book so I could again remember and know what he experienced. To those who so blindly follow those of The Cloth, I would say, "Open your mind. Trust your heart." BJE's "Embraced By The Light" is prophetic. Christians, do you not believe there are new prophets today, as in days of old? How narrowminded you must be if you do not. I, too, found comfort and logical explanations from BJE's books and have embraced a peaceful co-existence with my religious upbringing. I do not trust anyone who believes he/she can put-down something someone else experienced based upon what they were *taught* by gawd-only-knows-who-in-some-church-somewhere. BJE's book is based upon Scripture, and that's all there is to that.
