This book by Betty has a lot of new age ideas in it and alot of stuff is opposite of what the Bible says. The Bible says that in the last days many will be deceived. Not only will unbelievers be deceived but also those who have trusted Jesus for their salvation may be equally deceived. The Scripture says, "For false christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect." The problem that many have in our day is that they seek "signs" and "wonders" rather than Jesus. Experience has become their teacher rather than the Word. My response is simply, Jesus--the only begotten Son of God. There is salvation in no other. My hope is not in our experiences, but in a person. She is a Mormom. If you take a closer look at her new-found belief system one is able to not only see Mormon ideas but beliefs that are found in the occult. A lot of people don't know it, but she wrote the book first for the Mormon faith and then took some things out that would have freaked people out and had it published for the general public. Betty says "within our universe are both positive and negative energies, and both types of energies are essential to creation and growth. These energies have intelligence--they do our will. They are willing servants." The Christian desires to obey the will of God, not to force God to do his bidding. This is the essential difference between occult practice, magic, and Christianity. Betty Eadie never mentions the crucifixion or the atonement for sin. In her worldview they simply are not needed. There is no mention of evil or victory over sin. I don't care how good someone's intentions are if they are telling me lies. I think she is sincere, but greatly deceived as most of the new age teachers are. Eadie refuses to release her medical records or provide any corroborating evidence that she had actually died. She simply expects us to take her word for it. I find that strange. Her ideas on spirituality are a strange mixture of Mormon and New Age themes. I don't know how much money she makes, but Sylvia Browne rakes in millions each year. Don't just take my word for it, check it out yourself.Read full review

During the time she was clinically dead, Betty was given knowledge of the afterlife that would make even the greatest skeptic think twice. As she traveled through the spiritual realm, she learned more about the laws and history of the universe than perhaps anyone before her.She described feeling completely free and limitless, and light as a feather, feeling tranquility. She explains with uncanny detail the reasons why we have chosen to be on this earth at this time in history, and how all out actions are growing experiences for our immortal spirits.In those few minutes that stretched into eternity, Betty's life was changed forever. In this special unabridged recording of Embraced by the Light, she shares the vision of a world she never imagined existed, and gives new meaning to the question, "Why are we here?"
