Betty, I've read your book at least three times, as it has a way of rejuvenating my soul during periods of my life when I've been feeling sad, and full of despair. I've just ordered your book to have it sent to a co-worker, whose mother is terminally ill with cancer, and is currently in hospice. I know my co-worker's will receive tremendous strength during these difficult days of her life after reading your book. God Bless! Richard J/Chicago

Betty I am only 20 years old, but I have a huge interest in the after life. since reading your book, and watching your video, i am trying to live a better life by loving others. You are definitely a strong spirit for choosing to come back to this world. Thank you so much, and may God continuely bless you, your family, and and your mission. I will see you someday in heaven. I am excited to know that we all will be living with our loving Father, and our best friend Jesus Christ.

I read your book, years ago. It has always given me a sense of peace and validated my spiritual "knowing" that we are only on a short trip here, on earth, before we head home.

Dear Betty, I enjoyed your books so much, they have helped me spiritually. I can't wait to read the Ripple Effect and visit your web site, you inspire so many people. I will continue to follow God and you.

I just wanted to thank you so much for your wonderful book. For some reason everything you said touched my inner spirit, as if I was once there before my time on earth. I thank you for your decision in coming back to earth. Thank god for you lovely words in writing your book. I see my life in a different way. Thank you and god bless you and your family always.

Dear Betty, Thank-you so much for creating this website and rippling positivity into our world.

Dear Betty...May God Bless You Always! Love, Light & Peace ~~ Kelly

Thank you, thank you, thank you for coming back to us, so that we may pass Gods message on.

May God continue to bless you, and you us with your writing gift.

Betty makes it clear, There's no Knowledge more Important, than knowing Christ. God Bless you all in jesus Christ

Hi Betty, I have just been given your book "Embraced by the Light" and havent been able to put it down! I have read before of others' journies to heaven, but your description of what you experienced is the most enthralling I have read. God is so good and faithful to us who love him and only wants us all to have all His blessings. If only we could comprehend His enormous love for us! We all need to let our faith grow within us and to learn to pray with our faith rising, believing that our prayers are already answered. God is LOVE, He is our Father, we are His children, and we are loved with an everlasting LOVE! Bless you for sharing.

There you are. I have been looking for you for a very long time. I discovered you books about 6 years ago and saw the truth and light...now in a time of dispair (sp?) I have found you again. Thank-you

Helló Betty! Nagyon tetszett a könyve, másképpen látom a világot a köny által!!! Köszönöm!

THANKYOU,FOR LETTING ME NO I AM NOT ALONE,AND THERE ARE SO MANY OF US OUT THERE.MY MOM TOLD ME WHEN I WAS 16YRS OLD NOT TO TALK ABOUT THIS PEOPLE WOULD THINK I AM CRAZY.I AM NOT JUST HOME SICK. ALL IS GOD AND GOD IS LOVE. THANKYOU SO MUCH BETTY XXOO

I LEARNED MANI THINGS FROM YOUR BOOKS. SAY MORE ... MERCI

THANKS!

You have given my prayers substance and joy. Thank you for your wonderful book.

Betty, Thank you for writing this book. I have often wondered about life after death, but was never too confident about whether it really existed. I've always believed in a universal creator, and my own personal experiences have confirmed this. In the year 2000 my wife and I found out that our son was going to be born with Spina Bifida. I'd never been close to God up to that point, but I prayed real hard and promised to follow any sign that he would send to me. I followed all of them, some of them I didn't like, but everything turned out fine in the end. My 3 year old son can walk when doctors told us it would never happen. Since my son was born, I've tried many different churches out. None of them seemed for me. I couldn't understand why God would want me to try a Church out when he knew before-hand I'd not care for the particular church. I kept praying for God to send me to the "true" church, and it seemed like each one that I went to or a church that came to me, wouldn't turn out to be the right one. After wondering about why I couldn't find a church for me I came to an astonishing conclusion. There is no favorite church in God's eyes. He loves them all! I read your book Embracing the Light, expecting to try to remove some doubts about life after death that I had. For the first time in my life I have had all doubts removed about the question of life after death. I believe everything that you wrote in your book about the answers you received when you asked certain questions in heaven. Those answers you received had to be true. It's what I've felt for years. Nobody could ever convince me that I was wrong about how I felt even though I felt I was alone with what I believed. When I read what you wrote about the answers you received from God I knew that you had to be telling the truth. From the "ripple effect" to the "purpose in life" answers you received, every answer you received totally agree with my own "feelings". That's the first time I've EVER been in total agreement with anybody regarding God. I wanted to thank you for removing all doubt out of my head about life after death. It was the last question I ever had regarding God.

Betty ...thank you. Reading both embraced and ripple effect have allowed me to understand many of the things that happened in my life in the past that I have had major struggles with. I won't go into detail as my story is similar to others I have read. I came by your book when one person told me after her father died she read it and it made handling his death so much better. Since she had an extra copy she gave it to another friend of ours who previously had lent hers out years before and then gave it away. I then came to borrow it, so in effect that was how the "ripple" got to me and helped me. I have since bought a copy and gave it to someone else. It has also helped me to understand why one must have unconditional love for all even those who you feel you hate. I strongly believe that the Lord guided me to your book and I am definitely the better for reading it. As I and so many others have said to you..don't give up, keep the ripple going!

Thank you, Betty. This spiritual journey we're all on is very challenging...but you've made it easier. God bless, Jennifer

Dear Betty, I'm very Pleased to read all your Books, and I like them so much that I am sending them to everybody that I can think of and also ask me in My lay Ministry. I Just want to say that I truly appreciate your beautiful work. May God Bless you more everyday, and shine perpetual light in your Path. Namaste! Liane Legey

A very dear friend of mine gave me "Embraced by the Light" as a gift. I could not put it down, I was crying most of the time (good tears) I also viewed your video and I cried while watching it. The last chapter in "Embraced by the Light" was my favorite, simply because my son nuzzles my neck just like your daughter did yours!! Thank you for writing this book and sharing your expierence with us all!! May God Bless you and yours and keep you safe always!! Melissa Atkinson

I read your books years ago and they impacted me strongly. I sent a copy to my sister telling her it was the "best" book I had ever read. It started me on the search for true spirituality, not religion. Bless you. Now I teach at a Christian university and introduced your devotions book to my reading classes. After the first day, two students begged for your original book! One, an African-American, was quick to blurt out, "What color did she say God was?" He seems desperate to read your original story! Every day students ask when they first walk in if they can be the one to read your devotion for the day! I hope lives here will be changed as a result of your story and books.

Betty, I just finished Embraced by the Light in about 3 hours and it moved me so much. I was lucky enough to get to visit Heaven when my Grandmother passed away. I was 3 months pregnant and so worried about my Grandfather's health after she passed on. One night as I was sleeping she came and took me to the most beautiful place I have ever seen. The grass was so perfect and green and there were huge gray boulders everywhere. We sat down on one of the boulders and the warmth was so amazing. She told me not to worry about my Grandfather, that he would be okay but her mouth never moved. I had so many other questions for her but my sister came home and when her key hit the front door it was as if someone had pulled me back into my body. I woke up crying because I wanted to go back so bad. My Grandfather is healthier now than he was when she was alive and he has remarried a wonderful lady. When my daughter was born she had a blonde spot of hair on top of her head and I always told her that is where God kissed her head before she was born. I tell my story of visiting my Grandmother and the peace it brought me to all my friends that have lost someone special in their lives. I have no fear of death or the loss of a loved one because of visiting my Grandmother in Heaven. I have wished so many times to go back and see her again but I know if I do that I probably won't want to come back and there is too much for me to do while I am here. You are an amazing woman and are doing so much good for this world. God bless you! Michelle

((((Betty))))) EarthAngel thank you for sharing and reminding us all what we have forgotten!! May you always have many blessings on your path!! LAurie

I thank you for your prayers. My life is held together by prayers.

Betty: I completely respect the knowledge and teachings you have shared with so many. I thank God everyday that an Earth Angel was sent to me to "fully understand" the Ripple Effect. I do my best to share your guidance with others, and enjoy the gift of allowing others to "blossom" also. I am committed to helping others on their journey also, and have to tell you of my encounter. I consider myself gifted in regards to my purpose. I know I am to help others,and that my positive actions do ripple forward. I am also the gift giver, and random acts of kindness are normal for me. I was at the Dollar Tree, a retail store that sells everything for a dollar. I was drawn to the book area, and there was your beautiful face!!!! I couldn't believe it!! I have deep appreciation for your teachings, and when I saw your book...The Ripple Effect, I just knew I must purchase every single one!! (There were 17 available). I was thanking God for the $17 I had in my pocket, and was extremely overjoyed that I would be able to help at least 17 other people with your teachings!!! Then I thought, why would such a wonderful powerful resource for spiritual growth be so inexpensive? I knew the answer in a heartbeat!!! Life isn't about the money. It is about prosperity....which you have in abundance in many ways....like myself. I will become even more prosperous each day by giving so generously of my true self....when I share your book with others!! I consider myself a "Light Worker" in many ways, and your 17 books WILL be a beam of white light for others also....and so on!! Thanking you in advance for the love about to ripple forward, Sue.

I read Embraced by the Light a few years ago and it changed the way i feel about death. After i read your book i looked forward to it and im not scared of dying anymore. I read your next two books and they always make me want to be a better person. Im so far from the person i should be but thankyou so much for the hope the inspiration and the messages of love.

When I read "Embraced" it touched me in ways I never thought possilbe, now I recommend this to all my friends and hope it will do the same for them as it as done me. Thank you so much Betty

I read Embraced by the Light for the first time this weekend. I am truly moved and enlightened. It could not have come at a more perfect time. I was taking a well needed break from work and had nothing else to do but sink my thoughts into your profound life experiences. Thank you for sharing and being responsible with your findings. It has given me a better connection with God and perspective on what it means to have a relationship with him. I am praying more and believing that there is a higher purpose in this world than just the everyday grind. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Josephine

To quote Shy, who wrote previously: "I read your book about a year ago...but something in my heart just didnt "set" and I wasnt sure why...Their are countless excerpts in your book that do not match with scripture." I recently sent you an e-mail outlining those points from "Embraced by the Light" which contradict the Bible, to ask you what you thought about it. I just re-sent it and look forward to your reply. I have no doubt that you had the experience you describe and it's your desire to help others. But, all of us know of the God and Jesus of the Judeo-Christian teachings originally through the Bible. You died and saw Jesus, your "Friend and Savior." It doesn't seem to make sense that His original revelations from the Bible, which is the source from which you and all others learned of Him at first, would turn out not to be accurate. The problem seems to be in placing the importance of subjective experiences over the importance of the objective, revealed Word. Like I said, I can see the desire to help people in your book and your website. But I wonder what you make of the problem of contradictions from the original source of knowledge about Christ, and your experience.

Dear Betty, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us through your writings. I feel that my connection with God is becoming real again. For so long I have felt that I had fallen to Satan's ways and beliefs, but deep down I always can feel that something is not right. I have always felt that God created all religions so that many people would accept and understand...I believe so deeply what you stated about anything that brings us closer to God is what God wants...I pray to be open to see all his messages that surround me...I want to live his life purpose for me...I pray that God will continue to help you in your service to all his fellow children...thank you so much. God be with you always, surrounding your heart and mind with all his love.

Thank you for your book. You convinced me to take initiation with my Naqshbandi Sufi shaykh, who had taught me many of the same things that you said in your book. Good luck, and may God bless you for your courage and truthfulness. (Love the Naqshbandi Golden Chain)

Hi! First of all i would like to Thank You for writing such a wonderful book.I

Dear Betty, I have read all three of your books. I envy your experience. A few years ago, I saw Jesus' face in my head, just as I was waking up. I will never forget the overwhelming feeling of LOVE I felt. I so want to feel that LOVE again. How do we ever know what our mission in life is?

the best book i,ve ever read. it touches my heart and enlightens my soul.

DEAR BETTY, I AM VERY PLEASED TO KNOW THAT GOD HEARS OUR PRAYERS. I HAVE HAD MANY STRUGGLES IN MY LIFE BUT ONE THING I DO UNDERSTAND IS THAT IT IS AS YOU SAY WE ALL HAVE A PURPOSE ON THIS EARTH.WHEN I CAME TO KNOW GOD I CAME TO KNOW OF HIM IN SPANISH. MY HUSBAND TOOK ME TO A PENTECOSTAL CHURCH IN COLO. WHERE I AM FROM. AS TIME WENT BY AND I BECAME FAMILIAR WITH WHO GOD WAS AND WHAT HIS POWER AND LOVE ARE ALL ABOUT I CAME TO UNDERSTAND THAT GOD IS THE SAME NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE OR WHERE YOU COME FROM. I TOO HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT OF GOD WHEN I HAVE PRAYED AND IT IS AS YOU SAY IT IS BRIGHTER THAN ANY LIGHT OF THIS WORLD .I FEEL THAT IN SOME WAY GOD IS TRYING TO TEACH ME MORE ABOUT MY AWAKENING.PLEASE ALWAYS PRAY FOR ALL FAITHS AND I WILL PRAY THAT SOME DAY WE WILL UNDERSTAND.GOD BLESS YOU OR IN SPANISH DIOS DE BENDIGA.SU HERMANA IN CRISTO[YOUR SISTER IN CHRIST.TRACY L.HERRERA

God bless you betty for the love that you are sharing with thousands upon thousands of people. love maria xx

Hey, Betty, thank you for sharing your Heavenly with us. I have been having an ongoing Christ experience for sometime now. I just want you to know that it is just like you said in your book that "It's as though I have never been away from Him." Truly, like we have some invisible chord to Him or something. He truly is the "choicest friend you can ever have." Isn't He the most beautiful being ever created? I love your book so very much, I have bought multiple copies and given them all away just to spread your message. Your book brought an absolute sense of elation when I first read it - to have encountered a book about an actual encounter with the Christ - I was truly overjoyed. I could only read a little at a time, so much to soak in. I feel sort of kindred to you, but I guess that we all are kindred. Much love to you in Christ. Angela

I read all of your books and they are marvelous and I recommended them to my friends . They effect on me deeply. Thank you Betty

Dear Betty, One year ago I got the call that I would never forget. A call to change my life forever.The caller said my child had been in the water for more than 30 minutes. As my husband and I raced to the sight in hopes that a miracle would have happened. Some one would have saved him. Instead the worst nightmare a parent can go throught had started. My twenty-two year old son, first born , had just drowned. My world stopped.I did'nt want to go on any more, even though I had a wonderful husband, three beautiful daughter's and three grandchildren. Wonderful friend's and family to help me. I just wanted to go to Heaven to be with my son Kevin. I missed him so badly. A friend at my Coping class suggested I read your book Embraced By The Light. A friend knew that I wanted this book, but could not afford it. So she bought the book for me. From the time I started reading your book, I knew where my chid had gone. My son was alway's helping someone else, it was just his nature. He once told me that he would never live to be old. But that he would live in a big house some day. I truly do believe he knew his time was short here on earth. Now he does live in a big house, God's house. I can feel his love around me, and I know he will be with me always. Your book opened my eye's that we come from God and return to Him. I no longer fear death for I know that my son Kevin will be waiting for me along with other family member's. Your book is very special to me. Thank You, so much for writing it. For without it, I may have had no hope. I have read all of your books, and wait for more. After reading your last book, I pray that God hold's your family in his hand gently with Love.

I have just finished reading 'Embraced By The Light'. What a marvellous book, made all the more so for the fact that these things actually happened. Reading this book has given me the push I needed to get back to my spiritual self. I became a Christian about 8 years ago. My partner and I accepted Christ into our lives on the same day. I loved to write poetry and lyrics, which my partner set to music. He had a massive spiritual vision which changed him totally. It would take too long to tell about it here. About 4 years ago I reached what I can only describe as a 'spiritual desert'. My writing and love for music and singing just seem to have disappeared. Although I love The Lord with all my heart, I feel lost without the ability to express myself in words and song. When I read your book and you described your heavenly encounter it was almost like re-living what my partner had told me about his vision, except his had other things in it. It was like a wake-up call to get back to my spiritual nature. I miss it terribly. Thank you for the inspiration, Betty. God bless you.

I have just finished reading "The Ripple Effect". It's pages look very much like those in your first book, "Embraced By The Light" -- all underlined in red ink, notations of stars in the side columns, and highlighted in bright yellow!! It seems I cannot JUST read your books - I need to DEVOUR them!! What a comfort they have been for me over the years. They helped me be at peace with the death of my mother in 2001. I had rec'd an urgent phone call from the nursing home in Canada that she had 3-7 days left to live. I immediately hopped on a plane and flew to her side. She was already in a coma when I arrived, but I sat with her, thinking of all the struggles she had endured in her lifetime to make a good life for me and my siblings (leaving her parents, family, and friends in Holland to move to Canada with her husband, my brother and me). The following day as I sat with one hand on her arm, I heard the "death rattle" and moved to her side. I touched her cold, blue hand and whispered, "Go to the Light, mama.......go to God" and then she was gone. Betty, if it were not for your original book, I would not have had such a FAITH in knowing that she was going to be all right! that she was going to be with my dad and all her Dutch family once more in eternal happiness! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us and opening our eyes to the "Light". Blessings and namaste.......

Dear Sweet Betty, Thank you for writing the most wonderful, inspirational books that have helped millions; You have given more help than you can imagine.

Betty, Thank you, thank you, thank you! I first read Embraced back in 92. I was going through a difficult time in my life, and your book almost leaped off the bookstore shelf into my hands. I'm so glad it did. My life hasn't been the same. Your experiences and words have made me a more hopeful person. I've read all of your books, I think. Each one is packed with so many uplifting details that I find myself saying, "Yes!" and "Amen!".....and I can't forget, "Thank you!" With Eternal Love, Ellen

I GUESS IT WAS ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO THAT I AQUIRED A COPY OF "EMBRACED BY THE LIGHT", AND ALTHOUGH I REALLY DONT REMEMBER HOW I AQUIRED IT I KNOW THAT I HAD SET OUT TO READ IT SEVERAL TIMES. FOR WHAT EVER REASON I NEVER GOT MORE THAN A QUARTER OF THE WAY THROUGH IT. IT EVENTUALLY FOUND ITSELF BACK ON ONE OF MY SHELVES WHERE IT SAT UNTILL I HAPPENED TO PICK IT UP A FEW MONTHS AFTER MY WEDDING IN MAY OF 2003. AS I STARTED TO READ IT AGAIN I DECIDED THAT I WANTED TO SHARE THE BOOK WITH MY HUSBAND, AS WE ENJOY READING MANY BOOKS TOGETHER INSTEAD OF WATCHING TELEVISION. ONCE WE STARTED THE BOOK WE COULDNT STOP READING IT AND IN A DAYS TIME WE FOUND OURSELVES WEEPING TOGETHER AS WE FINISHED THE LAST CHAPTER. IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THERE WAS A MESSAGE IN THE BOOK THST WAS SENT DIRECTLY FROM GOD TO US AND IT WAS NEVER INTENDED FOR EITHER OF US UNTILL THAT SPECIFIC TIME IN OUR LIVES. YOU SEE ALTHOUGH WE WERE NEWLY WED AND NOT PLANNING TO START A FAMILY FOR SOME TIME, WE WERE STRUGGLING WITH THE IDEA THAT WHEN WE WOULD BE READY TO HAVE CHILDREN, (FOR MEDICAL REASONS) WE DIDNT KNOW THAT WE WOULD BA ABLE TO BIRTH OUR OWN. WE HAD BEEN CONTEMPLATING THE IDEA OF ADOPTING CHILDREN BUT WE COULDNT TRULY SEE PAST THE IDEA OF MAKING OUR OWN. UPON READING ABOUT BETTYS EXPERIENCE OF BEING SHOWN THE CHILD THAT WOULD LATER BE ADOPTED INTO HER FAMILY AND UNDERSTANDING THE GREAT LOVE AND GREAT BOND THAT SHE HAD WITH THAT CHILD, OUR HEARTS BEGAN TO SOFTEN. THERE WAS A SPECIAL DEVINE PRESENCE WITH US THE AFTERNOON WE FINISHED THAT BOOK THAT SENT US A STRONG CLEAR MESSAGE. MY HUSBAND AND I WERE MEANT TO ADOPT CHILDREN TOGETHER AND PROVIDE A SAFE, LOVING HOME AND FAMILY FOR THEM. THE LOVE WE WILL EXPERIENCE AND SHARE WILL BE NO DIFFERENT THAN THE LOVE WE MIGHT SHARE WITH A CHILD THAT WE HELPED CREATE. WE UNDERSTOOD THAT IT WOULD BE AN UNCONDITIONAL LOVE LIKE THE LOVE THAT GOD HAS FOR US. HE REVEALED THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR DECISIONS TO PROCEED WITH ADOPTION AND ASSURED US THAT WE WOULD "KNOW" THE RIGHT CHILD, AS IT WAS ALL "ARRANGED" IN HEAVEN. IT NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME HOW GOD WORKS AND REVEALS HIMSELF IN OUR LIVES. ALTHOUGH I HAVE BEEN FACED WITH MANY CHOICES I HAD NO IDEA HOW NAVIGATE THROUGH, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY WHERE GOD DIRECTLY SHOWS ME WHAT I AM TO DO. BETTYS TWO OTHER BOOKS HAVE NOW APPEARED IN OUR LIVES, ALMOST A YEAR AFTER WE FINISHED EMBRACED AND I AM SO GRATEFUL. I CANT WAIT TO SEE HOW GOD WILL USE THESE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR LIVES. THANK YOU, AND GOD BLESS

Hi, I recently read "Embraced by the Light, and watched the video & it was an enlightenment I recieved it at a very appropriate time in my life. I have shared the book and video with many people, and shared the message. Thank you.

Betty I have been meaning to write you for so long. Your book Embraced was given to me right after my grandmother died in Sept of 1997. It has become a source of spirtual comfort for me over all these years. Your next book is being re-read by for who knows what time. Your books feed my soul when I feel lost and out of touch. Thank you Carmen Gergeg

Dear Betty; Where do I begin? You have given so many people encouragement,focus,hope,peace,and direction!I think I speak for all when I say you truely are a God Send! Each and everyday I will live my life with clearer eyes,more understanding,and love for all in this world! Thankyou for writting in a way we can all understand and live for!! God Bless You--Love,Ruth

Dear Betty, Thank you for sharing your experiences. I am very encouraged by your book. I read it at least 5 times! Because there are too much holy secrets in it and I can't get them all at once. Recently I had many trials then I think God send me your book to encourage me. I am really lucky to know it while I am alive in this world. Thank you! I really need it. with love and appreciation Best Regards, Nagako

Dear Betty, I read your book EMBRACED BY THE LIGHT and I want to thank you for your thoughts with a poem I wrote just to say thank you to HIM: THE LIGHT The wisps of clouds draw parallel lines of the remaining colour of the day in the sleepy blue of the sky jauntily the sun reflects its tireless, never ending yellow tenderly –for a last time- across the tips of blade of grass hugs the nets of dew on the meadows winds its way up on wavering branches blending in with the shy red of the dawn mischievously smiles at the yawning moon coquets with the spray of the ocean gives the refracting light as a present to every grain of sand on the beach secretly lays its remaining warmth in colourful blossoms perches high in the trees dreaming away the day glitters seductively in yellow eyes dances in the black-white fur gives it a lustrous shine of silk tickles the velvety paws hides during the last minutes of the day in the light green of the bamboo tenderly bends towards the horizon waves to the goddess of cats in the stars welcomes the moon on its round INTO THE NIGHT © Henriette Jorjan

Thanks, Betty. I've read 2 of your books and just found a note I had made about wanting to get on your mailing list. Then I thought, "Gee, you must be on the internet, too" and, yes, you were. I consider myself very lucky: about 25 years ago I accomodated a friend who was trying to get enough people together to pay for a psychic spiritualist to come to her house. When the psychic asked to hold some piece of my jewelry I started to give her my ring. As my hand touched hers, I swear an amazing wave of tremendous unconditional love and forgiveness for ALL misdeeds in my life swept through me for a second or even less. It was so intense that even now I can instantly recall the total LOVE that enveloped me. I knew immediately that it wasn't from the woman: she was only the vehicle. I didn't even discuss it with her; I knew it was MY gift from God --- or his angels or my guides. I think of this gift now as coming from the Holy Spirit. Because of this I try to look at each person I encounter with unconditional love. It IS painful at times, because I want more of this feeling NOW. But life is filled with imperfect people, who have imperfect ways of loving, me included. May your writings continue to bless all of us.

Let’s praise our lord Jesus christ, He is the one and only saviour and let the light of Christ shine through you in a beautiful and positive way. Yours in Christ

You may be interested to hear that virtually everything that you explain in Touched By The Light, even the rather unusual aspects of our nature past and present I had already arrived at. I believe that The Holy Spirit, which the scripture tells us will lead us into all truth, had already taught me these things. Your words came as a confirmation. I have even learned to recognize some faint memories from pre-Earth. All of this has helped my walk with God. This confirmation is of immense value to me, and some day I shall tell you so face to face. Blessings and great peace be your's.

Dear Mrs. Eadie: I just finished reading "Embraced By The Light," and you won't be surprised to hear me say that it moved me very deeply. In fact, I'm crying and my tears are not because of sadness or joy, but somewhere in between. It's hard to put into words; I feel like I just experienced something "bittersweet," happy and sad mixed together. As unusual as this may sound to some people (and if it does, you should look into it further!), God's Holy Spirit gives a Christian discernment, or the ability to see more than just the surface of things. When reading, you can pick up things that are out of line with the Scriptures. It's an amazing thing to experience. It gives you a bit of an "edge" while living on this earth, which is a nice thing to have! God enables you to detect a lot of "bunk." For example, I was once reading a little booklet with day-by-day "devotions" and it even contained Scripture verses, yet God's Holy Spirit showed me that it was not Christian at all and that it was promoting that there were LOTS of ways to God. The Scriptures say, "No man comes to the Father but by Me," and that was Christ speaking. He said "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, and no man comes to the Father BUT BY ME." That's a revolutionary statement. But your book was not out of line with God's Word, and to me it kind of filled in the blanks" and confirmed things I have read in the Bible. And it wasn't like I was just reading something interesting and joyful and beautiful, although it was all of that. It was like you were saying things I knew already but had never verbalized and had certainly never heard from anyone else! Every now and then I get a little glimpse of what paradise is like, or eternity, a sort of feeling of joy about how wonderful it will be, but then it passes quite quickly. Your book was like a nice, long look! Thank you for telling the story. There are a lot of people I'm going to pass the book to, and I can't wait to read your other writings. And the following is "apropos of nothing," but I was just saying the other day that the coolest people in the world are the Native Americans and I would love to learn more about them than what the history books say ( and more than what "The Last of the Mohicans" and "Dances With Wolves" depicted, which are my favorite movies nevertheless!). And you have Native American blood and it seems like the beliefs that they hold and the things that you say AND Christianity can blend completely, and it's the first time I have seen this. It's exciting, and I'm just so glad I read your book for that and many reasons. THANK YOU.

betty...........read your books............listen to art interview you several years ago...........thanks for the info............wonderful to know we live ........foreverand continue in love always...

I chance upon the book at a bookshop and was tempted to read. It echoes most of my philosophy about life and God. I introduced the book to a friend and she thoughly enjoy and agree with what Betty said as well. Wish to thank Betty for sharing her experiences.

Betty, I have read some of your books and have enjoyed them greatly. I re-read "EMBRACED BY THE LIGHT" whenever I feel down and I seem to find that smile upon life. You have helped to increase my faith in JESUS, FATHER, and the HOLY SPIRIT. It is great knowing GOD has chosen you for helping his children here on earth. GOD BLESS YOU!

Hi betty I bought your book the ripple effect and also I have read your first book i loved so much. Well when I was reading your book ,you have stories about what has happened in peoples life and the one thing that has gotten to me so fAR is the thing you said about the shoes in the road and how u think of it as something postive will walk in your life well belive this . The next day I saw 2 shoes both miles apart from each other and i told my daughter about what i read after i seen the second shoe. Well we are getting a new house will it is 3years old but were buying a home so i really fell that first shoe was the one with the meaning that it was true we would have a house and be able to start new life in this home .I dont quite yet get the meaning of the second shoe yet.But I am so sorry because when i was reading your book every one was saying this and this happened to them after reading your book and i was like no way. Well thank u because i do really belive because of what i read and the life changes i have ahead of me. so forgive me ... Thank you Karen Dixon.

Be encouraged, woman of God. I have read all three of your books. They are truly powerful. I have wondered about many of the things that you discussed in your books. Gratfully, God has connected with a ministry that teaches some of the same truths that you share. It is a delight to know that when you thrist for spiritual truth, God always has a vessel that he uses to pour out His Word. You are truly a beautiful woman inside and out. You have a beautiful family as well. If I never meet you on this side, I'll see you in eternity. Thanks for your labor of love.

I love your book. I just lost my father to cancer and I have been having a very difficult time dealing with it. I was given your book by a gentleman I have never met but speak to occasionally on the phone through my work. I do believe he may be my angle. I have a whole new perspective on how I want to feel and deal with my dads death. I am so happy for him and where he is at. I just wanted to thank you for sharing your story and giving me the hope and strength to stay positive and move forward in my life. I actually started seeing things in a new and much more positve light. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I read your story (Gary Moore) you mentioned that if anyone wanted to send you an e-mail that you would answer all can you send your e-mail address to the Betty Eadie website.

Dearest Betty, As i sit here to type this message to you I have tears of joy, love, and peace. I am 34 yrs old and I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 3 days before marrying the man of my dreams in June of 2002. My Family was in deniel for about a year as I went through the rollercoaster of the unknown. Now they have accepted the disese and bless my mother for sending your books to everyone in our family. I have lost most of my vision and was so blessed to have my son get your audio books from our local library. As I write you this, My motherinlaw is now listening to your audio book. I am a fighter and now know the reason i choose to have MS. I can handle the pain and I run a MS Support group to help others like me deal with lifes daily duties. I was so excited when i finished your bold print book "The Awakening Heart", I called my family in tears saying thankyou so much and I cried because i was finally at peace with myself. And now I have my support group listening and reading and finding peace within thierselfs. God Bless you Betty and you Family. With Love, Torena Beardsley Oregon

I bought your book the ripple effect at my local book store. I really didn't think I'd read it.You see I'm a recovering addict and was being sent to treatment.I was curious when I saw your book I needed proof that there really was something bigger and greater than me out there. I was having a tough time about two days after I got in treatment and picked up your book.I started to read and before I knew it I felt this hope come over me. The letter's from other's was something I could relate to. I dont have alot of money I'm trying to piece my life back together after year's of drug abuse. You gave me the hope I was desperatly seeking The letter's from the mom that abused her children made me think about how my mother treated me.I have learned to forgive her but it's a daily struggle.I need to know if there's a cheap place to buy your other book's I have realized how much your book has become part of my daily recovery.Thank you for sharing what god gratfully put on you.I feel that there was a reason I was in that store at the time I was.I also thank God that it was dicounted so that I could afford it,even though I really couldn't money wise at the time.Bless you Betty.Thank You aain

I read your book about a year ago...I was totally enthralled - but somethings in my heart just didnt "set" and I wasnt sure why. I was almost deceived by your book. I am not saying that you are purposly trying to deceive...and I am sure your a good person and am trying to do good works on this earth. But false prophets/teachings are thoroughly explained in the Bible... countless scriptures refer to the 3in on (God the Father/Son/Holy Spirit being one)(in which you do not believe as stated in your book. I grew up in the church persay...and was a pastors kid. Excepting Christ in my heart at a very early age with very good comprehension and understanding for a little tot my age. Through-out the years though I have studied for myself and have done countless research (nutrition/religion/psyology) and have realized that "doctrines" of churches are not sound these days and the "church" that christ is referring to in the bible is pertaining to believers...individuals who know the truth and have accepted God in their hearts and are preaching. Pastors/preachers today are not ones in churches. God is the ultimate preacher...which is stated clearly in the Bible as well. So I do not necessarily believe in one denomination of a church building. But I do believe that Christ died for me...and that If I do not accept him (Free will) I have made the decision not to and I will ultimately pay the price... God is a Loving God - but he is also a jealous God. This warm and fuzzy outlook sounds great but not ultimately in reality unfortunately. Their are countless excerpts in your book that do not match with scripture. I am not a judgful person...but their is righteous judgement - I do not claim to know eveyrything and will remove the plank in my eye if necessary. I just wanted to give some insight to you as well. May God Bless you and your family. :)

Betty, I want to give a big thank you to you and your family. I read your book Embraced by the Light a few weeks ago. Since then I have given it to several people. My sister read it and bought several copies to give out as well. I sent a copy to my mother, who has been lost in the crazy world of alchoholism. She is unable to be in my and my childrens' life. I am praying that she is touched by this book and learns that she has great worth in this world. I have also since read The Ripple Effect. I am thankful to the Lord that he have given you this experience to share. God bless you and your family. Love, Tonya

I have just finished to read today"Embraced by the light"your fantastic experience between the life and the death.Thanks to this book I can understand one more time the importance of the love each other, the peace and altruism, values that the God gave to us as citizens of this beautiful creation:the Hearth

I was told of you via Christine Emerson and Christian Andreason and Leah Anne (whom did your angel picture). Your book Embraced by the Light helped me into sprituality. My son was abducted and all teh stress envoked created thoughts of giving up. It was the help of my friends, escpecially Christine and Christian taht i am still here. I used to see light and hear voices? Not the case anymore. Stress negativity is strong. I realize its all choices. Its harder when youre in the forest. I would like to know if you have another book taht could bring me back to spirituality in a sense? please let me know Thank you and God bless, Michael

I read all of your books and I think that you are one of the most bravest persons I have ever met. I thank you for sharing your experiance and I hope that you continue to inspire us all.

I have just finished reading Embraced by the light and it is incredible. The story of the demons coming to torment her after she returned to her body was terrifying but it was comforting to see the light protect her. I have always believed though the state of the world today may seem contradictory, that good alway triumphs over evil, light will always prevail over darkness. I believe Betty was sent back to restore faith in a rapidly increasing godless society. Take Care God Bless

Betty, I talk your book at all times. Friends,family and everyone else I meet don't get past me for long without the Betty story. Thank you for changing my life as well as so many others!

"The Ripple Effect"........when a child dies Betty about 2 months ago my 4 daughters and I went to go run some errands and my 15 year olds boyfriend was at our house so we laughing and joking had him go with us, one of our stops was our local dollar store and any time I go there I look and see what books they have,well quess what they had the ripple effect so I bought it,little did I know that I would read to the chapter "when a child dies" and 2weeks later my daughter that is 15 would lose her boyfriend to a senseless murder,so believing in god and not knowing how to comfort Alexxs mom,I bought his family all a copy of your book and about 3 weeks after his death after all out of town relatives were gone alexxs Mom came to me and told me Your book had been a great comfort to her***** Thank You and God Bless You ***** Angela

My Father has been told he has cancer of the pancreas with no chance of a cure. So would you please pray for him.

Your story is very special. God bless you !

Betty, your works have changed my life, and those around me. Thank You! See you on the other side.

Thank you for the beautiful work you do. You confirm what I believe to be true about suicide, and I believe that if we love one another, we are doing God's work in this simple task. God bless you!

Betty, your website is beautiful. I first read “Embraced by the Light” 10 years ago. Today it is still as meaningful and inspirational as then. Thank you for calling to the attention of so many people the glorious worlds of God surrounding us every moment. Lovingly, RobinRenee

I read a story on the Betty Eadie website by Gary Moore from Cleaveland, Ohio story posted on Thursday July 8,2004. Gary wrote that if anyone wanted to e-mail him about his story that they could, but i see no e-mail address to make contact with him.

Dear Betty Please if I could....let me share with you my story. My moms name was HAZEL and on June 6, 2004 she passed away in my arms....she was 88 yrs old and the strongest woman i have ever known. Since her passing I have had such a heavy heart....I feel so sad and empty inside that it is unbearable. I have a husband and 2 grown daughters, but they just can't take the place of my mom. She was a very special person, she had a good life and also a hard life...the story she told went like this. When she was a little girl a stanger came to her bed and tapped her on her shoulder...she looked up and there stood a woman who she never saw before.....being a small child it frighten her so she put her head under the covers and stayed that way until morning. She told her mother the story the next day, but her mom said there was no one in the house. Like i said my mom had a hard life and she was blessed to have a very strong shoulder to carry her load. Her story has given me some peace, and i truly would like to thank you for sharing your experience in your book Embraced by the light.....i have read it 3 times and each time it gives me strength and comfort. Peace be with you always Carolann

For years I have been dreading the loss of my elderly grandparents, wondering where thier souls will spend eternity. Even though they are both Christians I still worried the loss of them as well as the loneliess I know I will endure. My friend gave me Embraced by The Light. I read it and it has given me a sense of peace not only about one day losing my grandparents that I love dearly but passing into the spirit wolrd myself. What a peace I have with the Lord and myself. I pray that I can seek the purpose that God has for me and fulfill His will.

dear betty,your books leaved the most impression on my life.thank you.please pray for me.

I, have not read the book Embraced by the Light the you wrote, But I am very intersted to have one for my family. I am living here in the Philiipines. I saw one of your guest is also living in Manila. I hope I ca afford to buy one if it is not too costly. I do not know if "Mr.Joe Klaas" was my former foster parent when I was at my grade school, who have children named; Marc, Anthony, Jonathan, Hero. And also two daughters Marianna and Juliet. I am 50 years old now and a public high school teacher. Mr. Joe Klaas who happen to fit the character of my foster parent. In case he was the one, please extend my heartily grretings to him and to his family. They are always in our prayers.

I love you so much Betty because you touched my life in a positive way after reading your first book Embraced by the Light many years ago. You gave me many answers to questions that I had, in addition, you made me understand why so many things happen, good and bad, and how to better handle many of lifes situations. It is so wonderful to know that when we leave here, we have a awesome place to go! I sometimes tell myself "I can't wait" - but I know I have too. Thanks once again, God Bless!

Betty, you and I go along way back, and as always I appreciate you very much and think about you often. I hope all is well in your life. Love Mickey PS: You still owe me lunch.

I just picked up your book The Ripple Effect at the nearby Chapters bookstore. I was in there searching for a book that would help comfort me over the loss of my (our) beloved Oma on July 2, 2004. She passed away suddenly in hospital following surgery for cancer. She was 82 and had survived WW2 in Germany, an abusive marriage to an alcoholic, raised 3 kids single-handedly and emigrated to Canada in her 50s to start a new life. She was our rock! She was also very frugal, having survived both the depression and the war. Your book was in the discount section and although I scoured the paranormal section, your book was the ONLY ONE that spoke to me. I just had to buy it! You may laugh, but I think my Oma guided me to it since she was very, very careful with her money, always, even later in life when things were comfortable, financially. All I can say is that everything I've read rings true to me. I am a Christian, but I am often put off by a lot of the traditional dogma that is taught. I have always felt closer to God in a forest than in a church. The message in your book just makes me happy! My Oma was a true nature girl, and she had a very hard life, but I am comforted knowing that she is an elite spirit. I knew this anyway, deep down, because no one else I know has ever touched people the way in which she was (is!) capable. My sister was with her in her last minute on earth and told her that we all loved her, and she also told her that it was okay, that if she couldn't fight anymore that is was okay for her to go...! Her eyes went large like saucers, changed colour from the clear blue we knew and loved to a cloudy hazel, and she reached her hand up to the ceiling as if taking the hand of someone reaching for her. And then she was gone. Thank God it was quick, and she is no longer in pain. Her legacy of love lives on in everyone she touched. Most of all, I am happy to report that she has visited us since then in many forms, and we feel her presence around us. It is wonderful!

Your book, Embraced By The Light came to me as many others have over the last 15 years, from nowwhere. I don't even remember where I picked it up, or how long it had been in our home, just happened to be there one day. My wife of forty-one years read it, and as is her nature, did not say anything. I saw it laying on the coffee table and asked her about it, she just said she read it, I could tell it had moved her in some way, but she did not want to talk about it. I picked it up, now for me a book that size would be a few hours, or one or two days at the most, this one took me nearly a month, as I could only read a few paragraphs at a time. Each step of your journey brought, or tied things together for me, I just sat there and realized what had happened, events that I thought were coincidental , I now knew were not, the New Testament came alive, especially John and the Light, Peter, Paul's letters, and many other writers such as Norman Vincent Peale, Thomas Merton, Joseph Girzone, Wayne Weible, Napoleon Hill, Thomas Edison, and even Edgar Cayce. I now understood what they meant, or were trying to express, was like being given a key, it just all made sense. As a Catholic the greatest gift I received from your story was when I went to Mass, for the first time the Holy Sacrifice took on such a new meaning for me, especially when we prayed, "Through Him, with Him, and in Him…", it has strengthened me so much that I no longer fear the journey ahead, for myself or my family. Thanks for sharing.

My Father just passed away two weeks ago, I was cleaning house (trying to stay busy, because I have been extremely angry, frustrated, devastated, an array of emotions that whirl around me constantly) and I find a book " Embraced by the Light". I do not own this book nor have I ever heard of it. I started reading it and a joy, peace and love came over me and the anger that I felt for my fathers passing is gone. I talk to our Father in Heaven everyday and feel blessed that I had the earthly father that I did and know that he is in paradise with Jesus our Saviour. I still don't know where the book came from, but I'm thankful I found it.

i dont have a comment, but i do need help. i have been told many time that i am gifted and to go see a spritual church but the thing is i dont know were to find one and i dont know what to do when i do find one. im very scared of all my spirtual experences i get strange feelings, messages and visitors of the spirtual world. i am only seventeen years old and it scares me allot that is why i need help

Dear Betty, Recently in a one month span my mom, best friend and even my dog died. Your book "Embraced by the light" has helped and encouraged me greatly these last few months. It gives me great joy in knowing that my lost friends spirit eyes are now seeing what you were fortunate enough to witness and write about. Thanks a gazzion Betty. Your friend in Jesus, Robert

Betty, I got your book from the Library on Saturday afternoon and completed it Saturday afternoon.. I will also read it again and then purchase a copy for myself. I have never in my life been so profoundly affected by words in a book. It is the most powerful message I have ever received. I have not stopped talking about it or "feeling" it either. I have told numerous friends and co-workers about it. It left feelings in me that I cannot explain. You are a miracle that is truly blessing others "out there". You have changed my thought processes and as I am going to Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada tomorrow to visit my Daughter, Son-in-Law and adorable 2 year old grandson, I will make sure they read your book as well... It has filled a void in me and I now have a better understanding of what I want and need to do..Of course, I will still need to ask for direction, life takes over so easily unfortunately. But I am open to this direction now and will not be afraid if it should come from a "different" source.. Thank you so very much for sharing your experience with us and God Bless You Betty Love Carol

I just finished reading your book. A friend had given it to me years ago, and I just found it again. I couldn't put it down. It has totally changed the way I look at life and death. Thank you so much for sharing!! God bless you!

Just finished your book and was very moved by it. Thank you

betty eadie you are an angel from GOD.please pray for my brother MARK SCHOENBERGER for he left me in march by death i love him so very much . i miss him so very much.GOD please help me understand ? I LOVE YOU DEAR GOD PLEASE KEEP MY BROTHER SAFE WITH YOU AND IN PEACE.
