Into the Light: Real Life Stories About Angelic Visits, Visions of the Afterlife, and Other Pre-Death Experiences

Yes. After reading, several books about NDE's and finding their stories sincere and consistent with other NDE's, I thought this book would be right up my ally. But this was not the case, while reading this book my B.S. detector was going off like crazy.

I am not calling him a liar because maybe (a big maybe from other books and accounts I have read) this is what the last few moments are like on earth. But the experiences he "recounts" are very inconsistent with hundreds of other NDE's I have heard (i.e. angels have feathers, and physical feathers have been left behind by some angels)

The stories seemed incredibly embellished from a Catholic perspective.

I am a Christian and a believer that there is life after this life, so I thought this book would be interesting, but I was dissappointed and could not finish because I thought the accounts were far fetched, and embellished.

Lerma wrote this with a strong Christian bias, in case you were looking for something of a more general spiritual nature. He's also clearly a fan of Lakewood Church and Joel Osteen, which he freely and generously acknowledges. It's unfortunate that he's used this otherwise enlightening collection of experiences as a bully pulpit for Christianity; I probably wouldn't have chosen the title had I known he had such a penchant for preaching. He offers more in the way of distinctively Christian interpretation than he actually documents accounts from the dying patients' perspectives, which disappointed me.

Narrator Arika Escalona, however, is exceptionally good and deeply engaged in the material! I'd eagerly search for her as such in other audiobooks.

The mere fact that these accounts were intimately experienced prior to the actual death of each individual made listening to the book enjoyable. The audible reading of the book was a pleasant addition to the stories. It was as if hearing the stories breathed life into each account. A most extraordinary experience!

I know from personal experience just how marvelous it is when a person whom is standing at the threshold of death,decides to share their experience. It is an intimate moment that is sacred and life-giving for all

An excellent book for all! The messages contained in this book should remind every human being that despite of our frailities and the propensity to sin, we are so loved by our gracious God.

Yes. It gives so much hope for our futures that we will see loved ones who have passed before us and knowing that we have these wonderful angels around us to guide us.

The story of 9 yr old Matthew and his wisdom beyond his years of his purpose. His purpose to give hope to his mom and sister and reunite them with their love of Christ.

Yes, some of the insight into the next word was riveting.

The insight into what a person sees as they depart. It was so comforting.

It kept throwing me off that the actual Dr is a man because I was hearing a woman. I didn't care for that.

I wouldn't.

Dr. Lerma's name was said WAY TOO MANY TIMES, annoying.
