Introduction to Embraced by the Light
I recently finished reading an inspiring book called Embraced by the Light. I would give this book five stars because it clearly tells the reader the purpose why we are on Earth. This book might seem fake but all of the events that happened in the book actually happened in real life. The book has to do with the near-death experience of the author Betty J. Eadie. The first few chapters have to do with Betty's biography and her childhood. Betty explains that she lives with her husband and six children. Betty's parents divorced when she was only 5 years old and her parents sent her to a boarding school with nuns. She was alone for most of her childhood and the nuns were extremely cruel to little Betty J. The nuns told Betty that God would give her the ultimate punishment if she didn't worship him enough. Throughout her life she feared God until the incident of 1973. Betty realized that God was the alternative version of what the nuns taught her.
Life Lesson of Embraced by the Light
In my opinion I think that the main lesson in this book is to care for others and not judging people by their appearances. Betty was to have a surgery but the doctors said that the surgery might be deadly. A few hours pasted and Betty realized that she was floating in the air. She saw her body lifeless in the bed and after some minutes she realized that her spirit had gotten out of her body. After minutes had passed three monks appeared by Betty's side. The monks explained that they were Betty's guardian angels and they were to guide to heaven. The first life lesson is that we should never ever criticize other churches or religions. The author also mentions that every time a person raises his understanding about God, later that person would want to learn more about religion. Every time this happens that person has reached another level of knowledge and a better opportunity to grow. When these new opportunities open up they will get a better life.
Life Lesson Continued.....
In the last chapters of the book I realized that the last life lesson is to not judge a person by his/her's appearance. Betty goes throughout dark tunnel and she sees a bright light even brighter than the sun at the end of the tunnel. She realizes that the light is Jesus Christ ready to receive her in heaven. Betty explains that heaven is a wonderful place and everything was alive even the flowers were singing. Every time a person prays on Earth a shooting star appears in heaven, but the sometimes the stars are small or big depending on the prayer. Betty had a clear view of Earth and she realized that a drunken man was sleeping in the street alone and tired. Betty didn't care much about him until her guardian angel told her that she must not judge this man's appearance. The angel told Betty that in the outside the man might be rude and disgusting, but in the inside his spirit is noble and generous. Betty also taught us that God loves everyone no matter what the circumstance is.
I put a picture of two people being happy because that was part of the life lesson. Betty told the reader that we must have happiness at all times. She also taught us that we should care for one another every time and that by doing this we receive a better life.
