Publisher's summary

In this inspired follow-up to her million-selling To Heaven and Back, Dr. Mary Neal shares untold stories about her encounters with Jesus and powerful insights about how the reality of heaven can make each day magnificent.

Dr. Mary Neal's unforgettable account of a 1999 kayaking accident that took her life, and what happened next, has riveted more than a million listeners. But something happened as she shared her story in the years since. Not only did Neal realize she had more to tell, she discovered she had yet to answer the biggest question of all: How does knowing heaven is real change our lives on Earth?

"I have never finished speaking at a venue, including corporate settings, without people wanting to know more," says Dr. Neal. In 7 Lessons From Heaven, Neal takes listeners deeper into her experience, which includes encounters with angels, a journey to a "city of light", and what it was like to meet Jesus face to face. Even more, Neal shares how she was sent back with the absolute knowledge that the God we hope for - the one who knows us, loves each of us as though we are the only one, and wants us to experience joy in our daily life - is real and present. She offers practical insights and inspiration for how each of us can experience this God every day and begin living without regret, worry, anxiety, or fear.

Critic reviews

"Mary Neal is the sort of friend - and doctor - we all want to have. Compassionate, kind, thorough, knowledgeable, healing in the best sense of the word. In her newest book, she calls on all of those gifts to explain the unexplainable and show how the heavenly impacts earth." (Rick Hamlin, executive editor, Guideposts magazine and author of Pray for Me)
"In 7 Lessons from Heaven, Dr. Mary Neal shares more about her inspiring near death experience and God's profound love for us. Her powerful testimony and the practical advice she gives on accepting God's love, forgiveness, and trusting Him completely is life-changing and should not be missed." (Immaculee Ilibagiza, best-selling author of Left to Tell and Led by Faith)

Must Read! Changed my life

I recently saw the movie After Death and witnessed the story of Dr. Mary Neal. This book goes into further detail of her experience after dying and coming back to life. It shows us the promises that God has is store for us. My wonderful husband died of cancer 6 months ago and it gives me great solace and comfort. Death is not scary anymore and we must live each day and see the wonders of God all around us. This book is a life changer for me.

overall, okay

The narrator was good, I listened to some of the work of the author after her NDE oh, and I found it to be more authentic. I respect the author and her wishes 2 wrap her experience with a Christian theme. however I believe her original experience also has some merit.

Very Comforting

This book was a great follow up to"Imagine Heaven". Experiences as related to scripture is always personally comforting. A little too scientific at times and some conisention with little awareness bu the author is also evident at times. A wonderful book nonetheless. Much to gain and appreciate. Thank you!
