From the Publisher

In At Peace in the Light, Dannion Brinkley continues the spiritual exploration of his life and death that began in his phenomenal bestseller, Saved by the Light. Having had two near-death experiences, one of which lasted twenty-eight minutes, Brinkley has been left with an extraordinary sense of perception. With absolute candor, he describes his struggle to become accustomed to his disorienting physic ability -- he reveals his initial uses, both positive negative, of his power and his gradual understanding of how to accomplish his mission.

While making a call on an ailing friend of his father's, Brinkley realized that he had found a way of life by helping people face the transition of death. He came to understand that his mission is to offer great comfort to the dying: In hospice work, he could help people lose their fear of death by explaining the gentle way in which we leave this world. Here Brinkley shares heartwarming stories of his ability to comfort the dying as well as those who love them. He demonstrates that the dying often have enhanced psychic ability and a clarity of vision that can make death more graceful for everyone involved. By so movingly describing his work, he gives us a different, kinder, more peaceful view of dying well and the promise of what lies beyond.

Brinkley will teach you to use his experience of panoramic life review as a guide to creating your own, instruct you on awakening and enhancing your own skills of perception and provide you with the language to deal with your own and your loved ones' mortality. His conclusions and techniques illustrate how, by focusing on our own purpose, involving ourselves in service to others, creating our own life reviews and heightening our powers of perception, we can put richness back in our lives.

For the hundreds of thousands who found comfort and understanding in Saved by the Light and for those facing mortality or the loss of a loved one, Dannion Brinkley's new message offers inspiration, guidance and the opportunity for spiritual growth and renewal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dannion Brinkley has done it again!, May 4, 2000

This review is from: At Peace in the Light (Mass Market Paperback)

Dannion Brinkley has done it again! He has managed to write another excellent book of his near death experiences, his journeys and the messages he received from the Beings of Light. This second book is filled with love, compassion and guidance, as was the first book. As Dannion says, "Love is the important thing there is." "All you need to realize is that love is powerful. Its expression is treating others the way they want to be treated." I read this book and then had to go back and read his first book. Then I had to read this book once again. And of course I had to read this book in one sitting! I find people's experiences of near-death experiences quite fascinating and this book is no exception.

Dannion does repeat a lot of what was contained in the first book, but I found that he went into much more detail in this book. The story behind the story, so to speak. I really came away with deeper understanding and compassion for all that he had gone through. I thought it was extremely interesting when he told about helping his so called "friends" with his new gifts. His work with hospice is extraordinary. He is relentless, committed to his life's mission and does not give up. Considering what he has and had gone through, he has had valid reasons for giving up. Yet Dannion prevails in the midst of obstacles presented to him.

I found his explanation of his centers most fascinating. Equally fascinating was the work he did with Dr. Raymond Moody. Our lives are so busy and hectic these days, that to "plug" into our spiritual realm on a daily basis cannot often be accomplished; yet it is so necessary. Our children and the dying can teach us so much, if we only take the time to listen! After reading his book, I wanted to volunteer my time with hospice and one day I hope to do that.

I find Dannion to be a most compassionate and remarkable man. Again we are treated to those ancient but timely messages of love, forgiveness, and kindness to our fellow man. I applaud him in reaching out to others with his messages. I do believe that God singles some of us out for "special" projects here on Earth and Dannion Brinkley seems to be one of those persons. Reading both of his books, one cannot help lose their fear of death and embrace it instead.

At Peace In The Light is a must read for those who are interested in life after death.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth ordering, save your money., June 7, 1999

By 

[e-mail] (Baltimore, Maryland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: At Peace in the Light (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is basically a "rehash" of the first book. It reviews the entire first book. As I was reading, I could not wait to get to the new material and events that have occurred in Dannion's life. Before I knew it, the book ended and I felt that I reread the first book. Save your money and order something else. Maybe a CD instead??

5.0 out of 5 stars Dannion Brinkly, D.O.A., August 2, 2002

This review is from: At Peace in the Light (Mass Market Paperback)

In this second book Mr. Brinkley goes into considerably more detail about his Near Death Experience, hospice work, and the Centers that he was directed to build by Spirit Beings. It is a most inspiring and comforting account- this is the third time that I've read it since its publication. Always central is the message that he was directed to bring back to this life, namely, that we are all mighty spiritual beings who came here to cocreate with God out of a spirit of love.
It occured to me in reading this that he has recreated the ancient profession of the psychopomp, the guide to the spirit world. Indeed, his Centers sound remarkable like an updated version of the psychomanteum, a temple where people can go to have mystical visions and/or direct contact with spirits. I can see where this would correct a profound imbalance in the modern psyche.
The author also recounts the visions of the future that he was given in 1975...
