Waking Up In Heaven: A True Story Of Brokenness, Heaven, And Life Again (2013) - Plot & Excerpts

Este livro é para quem tem muita fé em Deus e também espirito aberto para "escutar" uma história destas... Gostei da primeira parte e do tempo em que ela passou no "Ceu" durante 9 minutos em que "morreu". Mas depois fiquei aborrecido e desiludido com o final que se transformou numa "obsessão" de amor a Deus.Apesar de ser mais sobre a Doutrina Cristã do que a Doutrina Espirita, vai dar ao mesmo, faz-nos reflectir e é gratificante. I just finished reading this wonderful book. In it, Crystal McVea describes her difficult childhood, her turbulent teen years and the mis-steps she took as a young adult. Her innocence was stolen from her at a young age due to sexual abuse. The resulting spiritual pain wounded her spirit and deep within, she considered herself to be unworthy, tainted, dirty, bad … Survivors of sexual abuse know this pain all to well and it drives a person to pathways in life they would not have otherwise chosen for themselves. Throughout her life, Crystal is searching for God. Why would God let this happen to me … she wondered. As a result of pancreatitis, Crystal dies and spends 9 minutes in Heaven. This beautiful, healing, glorious experience changes Crystal and she emerges not only in love with her Heavenly Father, but also is finally able to love herself. This is a healing book for anyone searching for God, dealing with spiritual pain or curious about Crystal's experience. Crystal embraces the vulnerability that accompanies telling the whole truth about her life. It is such a fragile, beautiful thing to witness another person bearing their soul for the purpose of helping others find their way out of that cycle of pain that follows on the heels of abuse. I found myself in tears again and again throughout the reading of this life-changing book. It's the best kind of love story there is!

What do You think about Waking Up In Heaven: A True Story Of Brokenness, Heaven, And Life Again (2013)?

This book is a memoir/testimony of a woman who tells her life story including how she was sexually abused as a child, went through a string of bad relationships resulting in two children born out of wedlock and one abortion, finally finding a good Christian husband, having premature twins and when the twins were 10 months old, her experience of dying in the hospital and coming back to life. She explains how when she was dead, she was in the presence of God and everything was good and how He told her to share her experience with others. Later, after sharing about her deathbed experience several times, she was invited to speak at a church where she felt that she should tell her entire life testimony about the abuse and how she now knows that God has always loved her. Many women who were also abused as children respond positively to her testimony. The book is well written and easy to read although I did find the first part a bit confusing because it skipped around chronologically so much going from when she was 5 years old, to when she was born, to when she was 4, then 3, then 5 again, then older.... I received this book free to review from Netgalley.

Another, very credible, story of a person who died, experienced a short time in Heaven, and then returned to earth to share that experience with us.These "died, went to Heave, came back to earth" stories all have similarities and differences. In each, the individual meets what I'll call "Divine Love," which overwhelms them and removes forever the fear of death. Their individual experiences are unique, which makes sense. Heaven must be a big place, to use earthly terms, and since our relationship with God is very personal, we will each experience Heaven in our own unique way.A good story, like all the others I've read. You can't build doctrine on any of these stories, but they sure do provided food for thought!

True testimony of what it is all about: God's Love For YOU!!
