The Message [Paperback]

Lance Richardson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 2000

On Christmas Day, 1998, Lance Richardson was involved in an accident which later left him in a comatose state for several weeks. While his body was being kept alive by medical support equipment, his spirit passed into the world beyond. In "The Message," Lance describes his experience in the world of spirits and delivers to us a message giving a greater understanding of the importance of families and the future of America. He was also taught concerning a most important principle of their society of peace, which, if followed by the people of this great nation, would rescue us from self-destruction.

5.0 out of 5 stars INTERESTING PAGE-TURNER THAT GIVES COMFORT, December 13, 2005

I found this book both interesting and comforting. (I have to wonder if the people with the extremely negative reviews actually read the same book I did.) Mr. Richardson is, to my knowledge, never states his religion in this book. I do know that I have given this book to several friends of varying religious affiliations, and each has enjoyed it and thanked me. No, it may not be as "polished" as some books, it may not be as challenging as a Dickens novel, but it is a man telling a very personal (and interesting!) story in a straightforward and humble manner. Do you have to be a professional writer prior to having a "near death experience"? Is having a "ghost writer" a prerequisite to sharing something wonderful with others? I would think any person who has ever wondered about what happens after death would enjoy this book. I also like that it ends with a VERY POSITIVE note that even an atheist could appreciate - serve one another!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awsome - I bought 2 copies, October 3, 2004

I have read and owned many NDE books. My wife says I'm "obsessed" but I would call it "passionate". Thought I had heard it all before but this book taught me a few new things. I borrowed the book from a friend who recently lost his disabled daughter. It really put things in perspective and changed his life for the better. After reading his copy, I purchased two copies: one for me (my wife wants to read it next) and one for my dad. I tell my dad that the reason he still around is because there is something important that he is suppose to do before passing on.

This book impacted my way of thinking unlike any other! It is so exciting to pick up a book, read it in a couple of hours and feel refreshed! I feel as if I am a better person and therefore will be happier, treat others better and try (even if it is in a small way) improve my life and way of thinking after reading this inspirational book. Thank you Lance Richardson for having the courage and the faith to write such a life-changing book. P.S. I believe it really is true, too.
