5.0 out of 5 stars
Engaging and life changing., May 25, 2009
As a nurse I have read several books on death and dying. This book however, provides the documentation from the experience of a spiritually awakened physician that unconditionally loves his patients and is secure in his pupose. The result is a page turner filled with heartfelt words of wisdom those patients entrusted to him, of experiences and conversations in angelic realms, prior to passing. I am so proud of a fellow human willing to take the risk to follow what he knows in his gut to be the right thing to do, while a member of a medical establishment that is often slow to risk stepping out of what is considered acceptble.
The book resolved several conflicting beliefs I have struggled with in trying to understand our world in relation to a bigger plan. I have the utmost gratitude to all sharing the messages contained in the book, as well as the individual contributions resulting in my having it in my hands today. Thank you.

Dr Lerma - continues to share stories of his patients and their experiences of their last minutes of life -- this book continues to be
as inspirational as his first book - and would recommend it to anyone

God Is Not Real. Maybe...Maybe Not. Not Sure?, September 5, 2009
This review is from: Learning from the Light: Pre-Death Experiences, Prophecies, and Angelic Messages of Hope (Paperback)
I would rather not comment on someone else's review because everyone is entitled to their own opinion no matter how skewed it might be. But I just can't resist the temptation to do a little clarification here.
The person who gave this book one star and called it garbage because Lerma talks a lot about Jesus needs to understand something.
First of all you are reading a book written by a Christian, not a Muslim, nor Hindu, nor Buddhist. You are reading accounts from people who have grown up in a Christian culture.
If this book were written by a Hindu telling of the pre-death experiences of Hindus it would have been stories of people having visions of Krishna or Shiva and not of Jesus.
This fact does not invalidate these accounts however. They are still real. I know it's hard to wrap one's critical thinking around this fact. There are whole courses in the annals of philosophy explaining why this is so.
The Universal Something (whatever it may be) that we call God allows us to see it the best way that suits us. One of Lerma's patients even said so.
So Hindus would naturally see Krishna and not Jesus. A Buddhist would see the deities of his religion and culture instead of angels. The spiritual realm appears to you in the way that you find most comfortable.
For me, personally, I would rather not see anything. I would just want a nice peaceful feeling to accompany my passing over for that is what I strive for all my life and I think that that is what I'm going to get.
You really get what you most deeply want. That doesn't make the experience any less real though.
Simply because it's coming out of your most deeply ingrained wish fulfilling desire doesn't make it unreal. The Universal Something pours itself into whatever form you subconsciously create for it to communicate with you.
That's also the reason why we don't have one world religion. But everyone is still worshiping the same one Universal Entity which appears in different forms.
Say you have a deep ingrained wish fulfilling desire to win the lottery and become wealthy overnight. Your numbers come in tonight and it happens.
Would you refuse to collect the dough on the basis that it's just a wish fulfillment come true and therefore not real?
Hey, if you do just let me know. I wouldn't mind switching my reality for your overnight riches "unreality".
P.S. Another thing: I think the author didn't write verbatim exactly how the people spoke to him using their exact words because it's just harder to do so, and it's not really important how they spoke.
What were needed to let known were the ideas that these people conveyed. Remember that the angels themselves can't even talk. They have no vocal cords. Please read the book in a mature way and stop whinnying.
