Into the Light: Real Life Stories About Angelic Visits, Visions of the Afterlife, and Other Pre-death Experiences

By John Lerma

Book Overview

"The chronicle of a scientist and humanitarian on a journey of discovery into the mysteries of death and what comes after . . . [a] lovely book."-- #1 New York Times bestselling author

In the groundbreaking book, Dr. John Lerma shares his valuable research on pre-death hallucinations from the countless terminally ill patients he lovingly cares for as a doctor and director at The Medical Center of Houston, Texas. Sixteen inspirational stories chronicle children and adults confronting their deaths through the comforting visions of divine beings. By presenting these mysterious visions, synchronicities, and angelic conversations his patients encounter, Dr. Lerma shows how knowledge of death can ease the pain and fear as we prepare to enter into the light.

In this book you will learn: the exhilarating and calming elements of pre-death experiences; healing during the dying process; the difference between hallucinations and visions; and self-forgiveness and self-love as the key to a joyous life and a peaceful transition. The mystical experiences described here delve into the creation of the universe, past and future extinctions, dark angels and white angels, selfless suffering and its effect on humanity, free will as the vital ingredient to create on earth and in heaven, and many more incredible revelations. The poignant stories in Into the Light will leave you feeling uplifted in faith, hope, and love.

"Finally, a science-minded physician has addressed the phenomenon of pre-death experiences with compassion, comprehension, and candor . . . you will be uplifted and inspired by this book."--Gary E. Schwartz, PhD, professor of psychology and medicine at the University of Arizona and author of Super Synchronicity

Thought provoking and assuring

In my case, I read this book because I am loosing a person very dear to me. I felt very comforted reading this book and then noticing the similarities between the stories in the book and the real life situation I am in. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has questions about the end of life experiences.

New insights of heaven

Thankfully, we are hearing about real experiences that assure us of the life beyond death. Dr. Lerma keeps it simple and tells the stories that are given to him. There is no religious bias. The conversations with ministers and priests add more information and interpretation to the stories.

ASTOUNDING MESSAGES FROM GODS ANGELS

Finally, a scientist and doctor that attempts to bridge the gap between science and spirituality. The 16 stories of individuals from all walks of life are extraordinary and uplifting. I spoke with Dr. John Lerma recently and was appalled when I found that a few of his colleaques and hospital executives attempted at coercing him to stop the book from being published. They felt that medicine had no place for scientific research that involved spirituality through the visions of the dying, as this would have terrible repercussions. I am so glad that Dr. Lerma went forth with exercising his freedom of speech so the people of the world would have an idea that there was something so incredible and loving that was occuring to literally thousands of humans on their death-beds. This book should be read by all as it will change the way you live, forgive and love.

Dr. Lerma's book is amazing!! I don't think there are many medical professionals who can objectively bring together the scientifc and spiritual components of death. I've read other books about this, but what I like here is that Dr. Lerma's research came from firsthand experience with his hospice patients. The commonality of experience across so many patients really made me wonder about the afterlife. I always dismissed this stuff as hallucination. Now, I am not so sure.
