Do You like book To Heaven And Back: The True Story Of A Doctor's Extraordinary Walk With God (2011)?
I really enjoyed reading this book. The beginning grabbed my attention right away because it made me wonder what was going to happen next with the accident and how she would get out. I also was wondering what experiences she would have in heaven. I didn't like that it took so long to get to the part that tells about her experiences in heaven. I wasn’t sure what the author would be able to talk about after she described her accident, heaven experiences and other great experiences where God had helped her. I think that she still had great content in her story even after telling her story about the accident and heaven.She had a lot of tough things happen in her life that I can somewhat relate to. I like that she told about her family and had them be a big part in her story. She did a great job including s much detail and including so many people that were only a part of her story for a short time. She also mentions how much of an impact a person made in her life even if God only allowed them in her life for a small part of her story.In conclusion, this was a really good and interesting book. She had great information and details about her relationship with God. She explained her experiences where God showed himself very well. Lastly, she kept me interested in what was going to happen next in the story.

Badly injured in a kayak accident in Chile, the author briefly left her body, died, witnessed angels and then returned back to her body, leaving her profoundly changed. After her experience, her way of processing things and looking at life and events forever changed.I'm not sure how I feel about this book. I do believe that there are guardian angels, I do believe in the afterlife. I simply thought the author was a bit to preachy. This is very objective and perhaps too critical. I may need more time to process my thoughts/feelings.While not discrediting her experience, the book felt simplistic.
