    About this audiobook

    At the age of 31, Betty Eadie died after routine surgery. The events that followed can only be described as the most profound and extensive near-death experience ever recorded. 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 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?"

      This is the best, most detailed NDE story I've ever heard. It has changed me. I was in the process of leaving my husband and all I want to do is forgive him and love him now. I look at him in a whole new way now. Not just him but also my kids and everyone else. What an amazing experience. I'm so glad she decided to tell her story.

      I had read this book around 35 years ago at the age of 15 & listening to it again I remembered how hopeful it had made feel. Although some might be skeptical I suggest you listen till the very end. Whether you believe or not it's up to you, but one day you'll know she is true...

      The 90s saw the rise of The Nde. This book changed my entire perception of what was happening in our hospitals each and every day

      Intriguing story about a life after death experience.
    • 5/5
      An enlightening description of what heaven looks like, what we were before we came into this world, what lies ahead for us in the afterlife and a beautiful explanation of other things unnatural and inexplainable in our human lives today.This is still by far, one of my most favorite books of all time. :)

      I have read thousands of books during my life. This book was one of the best I read so far during my 70 years on this planet. I have some experiences from my own life that confirm what Betty J. Eadie says. Or rather, my wife. When she delivered our son during challenging circumstances, due to pupe in the water (meconium) and that she didn't dilate enough to give birth in time, our son died as soon as he was delivered. Personnel came from the ICU, and while they resuscitated, I prayed as never before for his life. The doctor joined me in my prayers, and finally and suddenly, the skin of our baby changed from ash-grey to a beautiful pinkish color. The personnel took our son to the Neo-Natal. I went to the side of my wife, holding her hand. She was exhausted. The doctor came and laid an arm around my shoulders and said: "You did a great job!" At the moment, I didn't understand what he meant but felt happy for his comment. Years later, I realized what he said. And this was confirmed by a remark my wife made in the delivery room. She had asked me who the two guys in white robes were at the end of the operating table and I had answered her that there were no people in white cloth in the room, since the personnel had green and blu clothes. My wife was an atheist at the time, and it made no sense that she would see angels, but my conclusion is that it was angels. They had white robes with a band around their waist's, according to my wife. I will forever be grateful to the doctor who prayed with me!

      Fantastic. Just fantastic. I learnt a lot from this book.
    • 5/5
      This book is a profound experience of the author. Clearly it is as detailed as possible. Not an emotional book because of the monotony sound of the narrator. This is the first book I have ever heard which expounds outside of the biblical view of many Christians. This book explains so much details of the spirit world from a non-evangelical perspective. Eventhough the author reflects many times on the love and power and authority of Jesus Christ, she still choose many non-biblical words to explain the unexplainable, the spirit world and the mission of every spirit here on earth. Very unorthodox. You have to have an open mind if you a believer with legalistical tendencies. If you are just a person that just wants to know the meaning of life, then this book will clarify many things. If you are a believer looking to strengthen your faith, just have an open mind as you listen and don't have a judgemental sentiment about what you hear.

      I read this book in Danish since I had it in that language though I would rather have read it in the original language, English.In this book, we?re told much of Betty?s life history and how she met Jim, her loving husband.Betty was in the hospital to have a hysterectomy, and following the operation she left her body. She met three men on the other side; they resembled monks and were wise and knowledgeable. They told her they had been with her for an eternity, and she saw in her mind pictures of her previous time with them. She understood that death was, in reality, a rebirth to a greater life with understanding and wisdom. They explained that, together with others, they had been her guardian angels in her life on Earth.They told her she had died too early, but that everything would work out. She felt their deep love and concern; they filled her with joy.Betty had six children and she worried about them, now that she was ?dead?. She flew to her home into the living-room and saw the children getting ready for bed. She realized that each of her children was on Earth to have his/her own experiences and that, even though she had regarded them as ?hers?, she was mistaken. Each one had his or her free will to live his/her own freely chosen life. She saw some of their challenges and troubles but knew that these would be necessary for their growth. She heard a buzzing sound and bells ringing. She felt lifted up by an enormous black tornado, but had an inner feeling of well-being and peace. She was aware that other people and animals were travelling with her. She felt that healing was taking place; she had never before felt greater peace.She saw a tunnel of light and travelled through it at great speed. She saw a man surrounded by a golden light. His light mixed with hers. He was Jesus Christ; he was Life and Love. She had known him long before her life on Earth; her soul remembered him.Jesus told her that it was not her time yet. She asked him lots of questions and received answers.She understood that we are here to help each other, love each other, forgive and serve each other. We are here to love each person born on Earth.She learnt that we should love our enemies and let go of our anger, hate, envy, bitterness and reluctance to forgive.She saw that we have all chosen our positions in the world and that each of us receives more help than we realize.Betty saw that many of us have ourselves chosen the illness/es we suffer from. All our experiences are for own good; as souls, we are willing, even keen, to accept all our sufferings/illnesses and accidents on Earth so that we can improve spiritually. The pain we experience on Earth is just a moment of our consciousness in the spirit world, and we are extremely willing to endure it. Our death is also often intended to help us grow.Suicide will result in our losing the opportunity of developing more on Earth. We are here to learn, to experiment, and to make mistakes. We should not judge ourselves.This book is extremely comprehensive and contains much more than I have indicated here. I am amazed that the author managed to remember all the experiences she recounts in such detail.The most important message Betty received was: ?First and foremost, love each other!?

      This book was alright I suppose, but I wouldn't call it life changing or phenomenal. I read it because I've always been interested in life after death theories and out of body experiences. Sadly, this book wasn't that well written, but it was still interesting. I'd probably recommend a different author for people looking for information on these subjects but if you're looking for something quick, than this is the book for you because it's a very thin novel.
