Publisher's summary

Nancy Rynes was riding her bicycle when a large SUV approached. The vehicle's driver, absorbed in texting while driving, plowed right into Rynes.

Suffering from severe spinal and head injuries, Rynes knew she was dying. At that moment, she underwent the first of two life-changing near-death experiences - her consciousness split between her frightened, injured self lying on the road, and an impartial, peaceful observer-consciousness who watched as first responders fought to keep her alive. Her second, more lengthy near-death experience came days later, during the surgery that attempted to repair her traumatized spine.

Rynes, a scientist and confirmed skeptic, was shown the wonders of heaven, experiencing joy, love, and beauty on such a grand scale that she wept at its magnitude. She then met and spoke with a being who gave her insights into life, love, and the wonders of spirit. After her tour of heaven, she was returned to her body to begin the long, slow process of recovering from injuries her surgeon affirms should have killed her.

In Awakenings from the Light, Rynes recounts the amazing sights of heaven, and explains the remarkable insights into life she returned with to share with others. She was gifted with a second chance - a precious opportunity to bring a little bit of heaven into her life on Earth. The wisdom she passes on could well change your life as well.

Heartwarming

I can’t imagine that it is easy to explain the mysteries of life in a logical materialist way. But this author managed to merge the spiritual and scientific worlds in a reasonable/relatable way, that helps erase the stigma of this subject. I’ve read several NDE accounts, and I find this to be one of the most believable ones. I love how she strives to just tell her truth to the best of her ability; without giving in to leaning towards others definitions/views of things. Thank you for this! ❤️

More spiritual concepts than NDE content

More spiritual concepts than NDE content, however, the NDE experience it does describe, is a far deeper and descriptive telling than most I've read, and I've read just about all the nde, prebirth and consiousness books I can find.

For people looking for life advice to pursue more worthwhile living spiritually, this will be a fantastic book for you.

Honestly conveyed story

It's plain to see this is an honest telling of an after death experience. This alone is reason enough to read or listen to it and see where it takes or moves us.

Nancy's experience was different but great

I've read many NDE experiences but this one definitely broadened my knowledge of what goes on beyond the veil. Her experience was different but very eye opening. I also liked that she doesn't promote any beliefs. She tells her story in a way that even skeptics can digest.

Beautiful

I would recommend this book. You don’t have to listen to her experience. You can go straight to what she learned. I listened to it all! Her story is so awe inspiring that you can stop listening! So easy so true that it resonates with your heart. Love love love this book!
