NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * In this inspired follow-up to the million-copy bestseller To Heaven and Back , Dr. Mary Neal (featured in the Netflix original series Surviving Death ) shares untold stories about her encounters with Jesus and powerful insights about how the reality of heaven can make each day magnificent.
"If you want practical ways to bring more of Heaven into your life today, Dr. Neal shows how."--John Burke, pastor and author of New York Times bestseller Imagine Heaven
Dr. Mary Neal's unforgettable account of the Chilean kayaking accident that took her life and sent her on a journey to heaven and back riveted millions of readers. But as she shared her story with audiences throughout the world, Dr. Neal realized she had more to tell, especially on the biggest questions, such as how does her story help others? And how does knowing that heaven is real change our lives here on Earth?
In 7 Lessons from Heaven , Dr. Neal takes readers deeper into her experience, which included meeting Jesus face-to-face, encounters with angels, and a journey to a "city of light." She digs into important findings about the physiology of drowning, and shares why--from the perspective of heaven--we can know that beauty blossoms from even our greatest losses. Then she shows how each of us can personally experience God's presence, develop an absolute trust in the truth of God's promises, and learn how to live joyfully every day.
Includes a reading group guide (pages 253-268).
Includes bibliographical references (pages 269-274).
