Suicide and Life, June 19, 2000
This review is from: Lessons From the Light: In-Sights From a Journey to the Other Side (Mass Market Paperback)
I really like this book. I'm buying 10 copies now to give away to people. It is the story of a woman driven to suicide by the hauntings of the abuse she received growing up and as a young adult. She had an NDE in which she was told she could stay or come back, but if she stayed she would have to at some point come back to Earth and relive everything she had experienced up to that point. If she came back she would get the family she so desperately wanted.
This book is a little of her story, and then a bunch of aphorisms about life that she learned during and after her NDE. I find it charming.
If you know someone who is contemplating suicide, this short, inexpensive book may help them.
I had the privilege of knowing Sandra Rogers personally. She died in April, 2000; I believe it was 24 years to the day after her suicide attempt, from Hepatitis C, contracted from the blood transfusion used to save her life then. She did get her family, and her sons are now grown.
Sandra would have thought that even if her book helped just one person, that it would have been worth it writing it. I believe that it has helped and will help many people

Spiritually Enlightening, February 21, 2001
This review is from: Lessons From the Light: In-Sights From a Journey to the Other Side (Mass Market Paperback)
What a wonderful book. One of the first books I read about near-death-experiences (NDE's). After attempting suicide and before she can be revived she had one of the most spiritually enlightening experiences I've ever read about. There were concepts discussed in this book that I have incorporated in my spiritual belief system, which I have never concieved of before. It is very easy to read with most of the book consisting of 3-4 page chapters that are answers to questions that she had during her experience. She passes along the answers to such deep questions like "Why do children have to suffer and die?" and "Is there a devil or hell?" I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in furthering their spiritual growth. God bless Sandra for sharing her revelations.

Simple yet profound., February 16, 2002
This review is from: Lessons From the Light: In-Sights From a Journey to the Other Side (Mass Market Paperback)
Over the years I have read dozens of books on Near Death Experiences and probably hundreds on spirituality and metaphysics. Yet this slim little volume is one I keep coming back to. It cuts to the chase with clearly organised chapters and bullet pointed topics (On Angels; On Anger and Hate; On Asking, Giving , and Recieving; On Bodies; On Children; On Death; On Free Will; On Kindness; On Love and God; On Other Gods; On Religion; On Self and Others; On Sin and Sorrow; On Society; On Values; On Wisdom.) While the biographical section is well written and inspiring you do not get the sense that this is a work of ego. It is a book written to transmit needed answers out into the world. It is simple yet profound.
