Dear Betty, Have read all three of your books and they were very inspiring. Have just finished Roy Mills book "soul's rememberance". I'm now reading it again!Will be reading "until forever" next. thank for sharing this message. It continues to enpower me but,raises so many more questions,so I will continue to pray and read your latest books to find my answers.Thanks again! does Roy Mills have a web site or e-mail? Ron

Dear Betty, Last week, my sisters, a friend and I went to your seminar on the famillies in Salt Lake City. Thank you for clearing up the matter about religion for me, I have wanted to write, or find a way that I could find out. I have the orginal book "Embraced By the Light" I bought back in 1992 ot 93. I bought it at a bookstore that sold mostly LDS books. They handed me a paper to put in the back cover. Of Interest to Latter Day Saints. I had forgotten about it, until after seeing you, I decided to read your book again. Wow, was I blown away by the truths that was in there! I try and read all that I can about those who have experienced "near death" and I have known some that share with me their experiences, but I have never had one. I guess I just get to experience it second hand. But all of this has just strengthened me and my beliefs. Thank you for being so willing to put your life out there. When I did a training about 2 years ago. I experienced something wonderful, my spirit. It was so difficult for those close to me that I was judged and people feared that I was in a cult. But it literally saved my life. I was too happy they said, I was now too willing to love, and let go of anger. I retreated for a while, afraid to allow myself to love others and I felt I should. Because of the fear they had for me. I have calmed down a bit. But I am more aware of things around me, maybe you could say that I too have had a spiritual awakening. I was told that I came to earth with so much love to give and that I was cheating myself and those around me, by not being who I really was. That was profound to me. I now spread the word to those who will listen. Reading your first book again, has given me more knowledge. Last month, I referred some friends to your book, another friend that was listening into the conversation, warned them not to read it. That you were not real and that your experience was sacred not for the whole world to know. When she left, I questioned my two friends remaining and they were opened to it. There is another wonderful book for those who are interested and especially for those who think about ending their life. It is called "Heavenly Answers to Earthly challenges" I wept through the pages and found more meaning to my life and the importance to not waste our time here. Thanks for sacrificing your time and energy to the human race, you now know what your mission was. Thanks too for spending the time with me and clearing up the misinformation that I was fed about you. much love.

I saw you in Salt Lake and I felt your spirit and knew that what you were saing was true, the spirit bore wittness to this,But i knew all along the reason i cried is because i felt bad for the way our people in the religon have treated you, I love you and am greatfull to you for all the good you have done,I guess i never relised how many people there are out there looking for truths, Im greatfull for all the speakers that were there, and know they have the truth,I hope someday you can come to Wyo. God bless you in all you do.May we all find love & peace in this world to get us ready for the world to come!Love Virginia

Dear Betty, I am writing to thank you for publishing Roy Mills' book, "The Soul's Remembrance". It has been very helpful in restoring my remembrance of the preciousness of each one of us. My life is about bringing the truth to our conscious mind. Again, you did a great thing by bringing this book to our conscious mind. I am very glad I am on your mailing list. All the very best, Stephen Bryant Montclair, NJ

Betty, Hi! my name is Amy Sanders and I am the daughter of Cathy Rusnacko who E-mailed you lastnight, August 27. I am very inspired and moved by your books. I have read Embraced and the Awakening Heart and I am now on page 51 of the Ripple Effect. On August 8, 2000, my friend Barbara Urban was in a car crash on Highway 52 in Minnesota and was killed. Her husband and 3 children were injured, leaving the 5 year old paralyzed from the waist down and one of her little 2 year old twins in a coma, which he is now coming out of. Her husband was also injured, 3 broken vertebrae and a broken ankle. This is the most tragic event that has occurred directly in life in my 30 years on this earth, someone that was very close to me and it just breaks my heart. Through your books I have gained a different understanding and love for God because as I grew up, I always feared God and had swear words come into my head when I prayed. This really freaked me out and made me feel evil, when in my heart I have always loved God, I felt evil for thinking such thoughts when I prayed. I understand now that God understands our lack of knowledge and know he forgives us. Buttttt, I have another fear as well. I am afraid of Barb or someone else from the spirit world appearing to me in a dream or in person. I don't know if it is just fear of the unknown or fear that I will not be able to function normally in life because of fear if this appearance were to take place. Betty, Barb was my friend and I do not fear that at all, but seeing her as a spirit, I just don't think I can handle. I just pray God will only give me what I can handle. He gave me twin 2 year old boys April 5 of 1998 and I asked him why he thought I could handle them, but now I can see that being the high energy person I am, maybe it was meant to be. My 3 children are truly a gift from God and I love them so. Anyway, Betty, if you have a brief moment to respond to this you could maybe shed some light on my fears. Thank you and God Bless you for the special ministry you have blessed us all with. Love, Amy Sanders

Dear Betty, Thank You for sharing through your books and your life. Please keep my wife and I in your prayers as we are going through a very difficult time. God Bless Bob Grady

Dear Betty, I just wanted to say that both my daughter and I have read your first two books and we are now reading the Ripple Effect. These books have had a real impact on both of us. My daughter had a very close friend die in a car accident three weeks ago. The husband and two of her three children are still in the hospital in very serious condition. They need much prayer. Your books have helped us understand why these tragic things happen. Bless you and keep up your wonderful ministry. You have so much impact on so many people.

Dear Betty ! Your book came to my attention at a time when it was needed most. My husband and I were visiting his dad in Massachusetts and I'd brought the book with me to read. When we arrived, I noticed how frail dad looked and gradually, from friends, found out that he was dying of cancer. My husband was visibly upset (having lost his mother just 7 years before, right after we were married )and just didn't know how to cope. I read your book in one afternoon and, inspired, handed it to him ! My husband, who is NOT an avid reader, disappeared from sight. When I found him, he was deep within the pages of your book ! Since that time, Bob now has a different perspective of life and death. His father passed away in 1992 and yes, it was dificult but your book was within reach whenever it was needed. As for me, I have a deep appreciation for you, your book, and your mission as I am learning more and more to appreciate what we have on this earth whiling awaiting something even better when we are called home. I lost my own dad just 2 years ago, also to cancer, and EMBRACED, as well as The AWAKENING HEART, helped me get through my emotional termoil. I grieved, but the grief was lessened by the knowledge that he had gone home to a better place and was once again whole and free of pain. I think of my dad often and often feel his presence. Your book also helped to bring closure for my mother to a life long hurt and disappointment. My mother gave birth to a baby boy 6 years before I was born. Unfortunately she never got to see him or hold him or acknowledge him as he died just 5 hours after birth without her knowledge (she was heavily sedated for a week from the birth on and we still don't know why.) She has always blamed herself for somehow causing his death. My dad buried my brother and never told her where. He also refused to acknowledge the child's birth anytime I questioned it. I passed mom your book and it helped to ease the pain BUT, shortly after my dad's death I found out the location of my brother's grave AND his actual cause of death ( by the way, it was NOT at all what she had been told !) Upon my dad's death I feel I was shown what was needed to help complete the healing that your book started for my mom. It brings closure for her AND it gives me "back" a brother I never knew in THIS plane of life. I DO believe, however, that I KNOW him and know him well. Again Betty, you continue to help so many in so many ways. THANK YOU !!!!!!

Dear Betty, I was given your book by my supervisor after a 6 mo period where I lost two wonderful friends and my brother. I was so lost after these deaths and my work was beginning to suffer. Everyone knew I was in emotional turmoil at that time. I read your book it was a cold Saturday morning. I called my supervisor in tears to thank her for giving me your book. It opened up such new hope for me. I continue to re-read your book when ever I am down. I have also given your book to many people who have lost a loved one. I can't thank you enough for your book and the work that you do. Today when ever I'm faced with a struggling time as I said I re-read "Embraced" I always find my answer there. Thank you Your Sister in God's work Debby

Betty I had a great time Hill City!!! Write me as soon as you can I am still on the road be home sept maybe thats up to you know who Smile WE LOVE YOU

Thank you for sharing your spiritual experiences. I often share your experiences with the children and adults I work with in the social work field. You have touched my heart so much!!!!! Your experiences have helped me to be a better social worker,woman, and mommy. I feel so priviledged to be chosen as a mommy. I am truly blessed! Thank you for your message. I will always be grateful. Angel V. Huval, MSW

what an inspirational site in the web. never forget to visit it whenever i surf hope you inspire a lot more

Dear Betty, Thank you for writing "Embraced by the Light". It was a book recommended to me when my best friend died last year. I even ordered a copy from my friend in L.A., only to find out later that we have a copy in our own library. I have re-read the book several times especially when I miss my friend. Through your experience I was able to understand life here and the life beyond more fully. I have also become closer to my friend now that she is with the Lord. May God continue to bless you and your mission. Warm regards and all the best, Priscilla

Hi, Betty. I'm a twenty-three year old who recently graduated from college. Within the lst year, I've read your first and your second book. I can't thank you enough for writing them. I had met a woman a few years ago who had died for seven minutes during an operation. I heard her lecture at a women's group that I used to attend. Then, last summer, one of my dearest friends recommended that I read your book, "Embraced by the Light." You reaffirmed everything that Katherine had said in her talk with us. You reaffirmed everything that I'd believed. God is almighty, but God doesn't judge. I could never accept the idea that people who did not believe in a certain religion were going to go to censored or be punished for what they believed in. I've found it hard to attend church because no church seems to hold my same beliefs, which are very strong. My friend once told my other friend, "Because you do not believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, you will go to censored." It's unfortunate that she does not believe in God, but none the less, he still loves her. I will not judge her for what she believes in. I am more spiritual, than "religious," as religious seems to relate to a specific relgion. I am Christian, but I don't know my denomination. I, too, talk to God each day. I don't think of it as "prayer" because of its informality. While I'm in my car on a trip, I have hours of conversations, explaining what I am seeking and asking for guidance. On a daily basis I thank God for as much as I can -- all the wonderful things, as well as the bad. I know that I learn from bad things. What does not kill me makes me stronger. Unfortunate circumstances are obstacles to tackle and conquer. My entire outlook on life has been changed since I read your books. I am more able to understand the behavior of others and why I should not judge them or be angry at them for who they are. I am more able to "embrace the enemy." After all, we are not enemies in reality. I have lost much of my lust for material possessions. I do not want my possessions to OWN ME. I want to LEARN. I moved to a far away state where I knew not a soul for the purpose of strengthening my character and overcoming the resulting obstacles. I've always had a difficult time with the fact that I'm so affectionate and loving to my friends that sometimes it makes them uncomfortable. I once told my friend, "I have more love to give than anyone possibly has the capacity to receive." I try to tone down my affection if it makes others uncomfortable, but I try to let others know their self-worth and how much they are appreciated in a more subdued manner. Everyone needs to be loved and needs to give love. My best friends are those with whom I have a real emotional connection, rather than those I just associate with, but cannot share with. I believe that these friends are my soul mates. My oldest friend and I send mental messages to one another to get in touch when we're apart, and within twenty-four hours we call one another. I have a dream about him, and the next day I get a letter. When we were in high school, we used to discuss the fact that we believed that our souls were just on earth as a school, but existed in eternity. We went so far as to give each other "soul names." We figured that the names we have now are attached to our bodies, and not to our eternal souls. Do you know what my name was? Eadie. I find that amusing now (at the time I'd never heard of you). During the same time I read your first book, I read the "Celestine Prophecy." It's interesting to note the similiarities in your theories. Yours is obviously based more on God, however. Both books mentioned that a spiritual awakening is taking place. Both mentioned that coincidences are really not so, and that they must be taken advantage of. I ask for help and almost immediately a sign comes my way. I could go on and on and on. Thank you so much, Betty. And if this isn't from God (?? maybe it is!), it's certainly from me: Don't ever stop, Betty!

Let the power of light and love pierce the veils of human ignorance.

I loved your book. I love it for many of the same reasons, noted hereto by others. I love it most because it is a testament to what I have been taught most my life. I am LDS. I am compelled to know and ask if you are a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints (Mormon)? The descriptions in your book of the Spirit World Pre-Mortal and Post, the Plan Of Salvation are almost verbatim to the doctrine that has been taught in the Church, as restored by the prohphet Joseph Smith, for over 100 years. I know you can not reply to each person who comments on this guest book. Perhaps, you could however make a notation to your BIO. Please I must know. I must know if you knew of this docterine before you wrote your book. To me the testament of it is stronger if you did not know about the Church. I hope you came to know of the Church,and became a member, after your experience. If you are not a member, please seek out the Church. Your blessings will be great. Love and Service in the Temple is our greatest, most reqarding life work. Sincerely, Connie

Hi there. Along with many others, I read Embraced several years ago, it just leapt out at me, we were going camping and I needed something to read on holidays. I started reading it and DID NOT put it down until I was done , everything and everyone around me "didn't exist " until I was done ... my husband ,who "claims" not to beleive in anything , asked me why I was crying but smiling at the same time... I told him the whole thing ,WOW was all he could say. ANYWAY this began a rapid acceleration of my spiritual growth which continues daily ... looking back so many many things have happened that I KNOW are connected to life before this earth school, and help me connect to God and to my "mission" this time around... at the same time I was reading Embraced another friend at church was reading it (I didn't know )and she announced in church that she had just read the book and would anyone else like to read it and have a disscussion on it, I ran up to her after the service ecstatic... we formed a church book club that led to many other spiritual books being explored the RIPPLE EFFECT started... MY THIRD CHILD is an extra blessing from God (the other two are as well but there is a bit of a different connection with the 3rd), as soon as I got pregnant with him , about the 3rd month I had a dream that it was a boy with blond hair and big blue eyes and his name would be Brady... and so it is... the things that HAVE COME OUT OF HIS MOUTH , Like when he was about 20 months he looked up at me and said "I want to go HOME". I said you are home sweetie and he said in a YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND manner "No mommy my real home" I got chills, I had a knowing that he meant heaven... I prayed that this didn't mean God was going to take him "HOME" soon (hasn't happened so far and he's 4 now) other things HE HAS SAID: " Mommy you and Daddy were sad when you didn't have me so God said, when he was flying around with me,that He would give me to you and now you are sooo happy ... And mommy I'm so glad God did that cause I LOVE YOU SO MUCH... Again I got a feeling like I can't describe... a knowing , Brady seems to have not totally forgotten His "REAL HOME" I am trying hard to perserve that(if that's possible) and not discredit the things that come out of his mouth that seem not of this realm...I've been keeping a love journal to all my kids and writing down all the loving things that they do and that happen in their lives... so I won't forget too... Life is so cool ...Thank you God for the oppotunities to become closer to you and who you would have me be , I pray I can be the kind of parent and friend that my kids , my husband, and my friends and clients need... Thank you Betty for all your love in your work and I know God will continue to bless you ,as you do your life's work for Him ... Thinking of you ,sending you light in His name.... J.G.

Dear Betty, I was gifted with Embraced by the Light a few years ago, by my mother. I also have read Awakening Heart. Yesterday, I found The Ripple Effect at the library; I hadn't even known it existed!!! I have just finished it, and was happy to find that you had a website. What I found amazing is that, during a difficult time with my children, I had stood by a pond at the park, trying to share with them, in a way they understood, how our actions, good and mistaken, affect others. I threw a rock into the water and showed them the ripples that went out, and also the ones that bounced from the shore and returned to the center. So it was a great delight to find the analogy as the title of your book! I, like many others, have had many wonderous events happen to me. I have always written about them, privately, yet feel a need to share them with the world. Your courage and your books inspire many such as myself, to put aside fear and share the Creator's gifts and Love with our fellow souls here on Earth. I will not give up, either, in searching for a way to use my writing in a way to inspire others, as you have done for all of us! Blessing you with the Abundance of God's Love, Laurellee

Dear Betty, Thankyou for giving us hope. Even though i have always believed in the Lord, Its refreshing and wonderful to hear of such an experience by another human being. i have told everyone I know (and then some) about the books and i somehow feel alienated by peoples responses. It seems that even after they read it, they just don't seem to be ELECTRIFIED like I was. So many are skeptical. I just want you to know that the books have changed my life. I felt an immediate sense of who you really were when I saw you on T.V. You had nothing to "sell". I love you Betty.

Miami Beach Aug 17 2000 My dear betty, let me tell you "My Dear" because I have felt you so close to me this second time in wich I have read your book (embraced by the light) I read it for the first time a few years ago , and now when I saw it in a store I knew that I needed to read it again. I didn't pay much attention to it at the first time perhaps because I was a little younger and my daddy was still alive, but now that he passed away,this book gives me more peace and confort, knowing that now he is enjoying that wonderful light you mentioned in your experien ce. I truly believe everything you said in your book, and sometimes I also wonder what should I do to find out the mission by which I was sent to earth for, perhaps I will ne ver discover and that worries me very much, but I see your book as a wonderful tool, understanding that whether or not you find out your mission on earth, doing the good would be the best accomplishment, I really hope this letter arrives to you ( as I sent it before to the address written in the back of your book, and it was sent back to me as an obsolete address in Seattle Washington) it would be nice if you could send me a response so that I know that this message got you. Thank you very much Betty for writing this great book and for sharing your awesome experience with us,... with us who fear death but by reading this book our fears turn into hope and greatfulness.....God bless you and Joe, my fondest regards to your kids, specially to your daughter Betty Jean Fondly Yours Nelson Mota

I love all of your books, and I think that it is sad that people who write in and convict you of being blasphemous against God is just so sad. Obviously they have not seen the Truth, and can't believe that a loving God can come to us at any time in life to show us His love. I used to be a misinformed person, and to all of you who have to accuse Betty of being a false prophet or anything like that: God loves us and wants to show it. That is why He sent Jesus down here in the first place. I hope God is good to you.

Betty you are the best. I have read your books so many times they are worn (when I saw you in Houston, I had only read them twice)! So much of what you write seems so natural - like remembering an old friend or song, and all the happiness with it. Thanks for letting us know that when we drift away from God, the path back and lessons learned can make us wiser - if we allow it. My belief has always been that I would be here till "I get it right". I may be here a long time - working on getting it right, but be assured Betty, your message is like a lighthouse showing me the way through the fog. Thanks for your hard work, you faith and your love. God Bless you and your family. PS - in times of frustration, my young daughter loves to tell me that I'm not the boss, Jesus is!! So true.

DEAR PRARIEROSE, MY SISTER: MY SISTER SUNSHINE, LOANED ME YOUR BOOK AND TAPES, SHE HAD IN HER LIBRARY ACOUPLE YEARS AGO. YOU MACOOA. We have so many things, I wish we could share with you. We were just recently adopted by the Cherokee nation,Snow Clan. Sunshine said her heart soared when she got the letter, she felt she had come home. She has much different gifts than I. I have too many stresses to weigh me down spiritually at this time, that interfere with my spiritual advancement. I am looking forward to hearing more about your knowledge,we too are drawn to our heritage. The first time I remember being saved by the grace of Gods hand thru prayer was at 8 yrs old. I think I may have died when I was 4 and and surgery. I have had 3 messages. 1 by scroll,1 verbal calling of my name as by thunder,its power,1 thru scriptures.When i was young i used to think something was wrong with me because I saw auras all the time,and heard faint music and song, if i listened carefully. My dreams always came true within 3 days to 3 months or so,sometimes like you say,only parts i remember or in parables. Your experiences have convinced me that my beliefs about gods arrangement/order of things are true. The conclusion I have gotten from all my seeking the truth from many faiths in my life. You have added so much more structure and strengh for me. Thank You, so much for having the courage to share the message. My native heritage was around Brainard for afew years. The "wild roses" (PrairieRose) as I've always called them ,and the ruby throated "Hummingbird" have been my favorites since hildhood. Agape'

"Embraced by the Light" has brought peace and a better understanding to many questions that I have had most of my life. I thank you along with many others.

I loved reading all of your books. I felt an inner peace.

"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience." Dearest Betty, I had to write you to personally tell you how much seeing you last night has affected me. I felt such an intense connection to you, that I literally feel as if you are one of my soulmates on this earth. I am twenty years old, and seeing you was a gift from God. You make me want to be a better person, you make me want to strive harder to do His will. It was as if every question was answered by God through you before I even had the chance to question it. You are a true being of unconditional love and light. You are a divine spirit, one of God's nicest works of art. When I walked away from you, you said, "I'll see you again." Then you told me you loved me. Let me tell you that I love you with all my being, with everything that I am, and that I will be seeing you again, and I cannot wait until that day. You replenished my "source within" and have left me on one of the most intense spiritual highs I had on my "red road." My spirit told me that once I saw you, and heard you tell your story of God's love, that I would never be the same. I felt God's presence, I felt your presence. I have thanked God over and over in the last 24 for the blessing of seeing you, seeing Him work through you. Our world is in dire need of His message of Love, and I'm going to do everything in my power to do my part in helping to create a world based on love and light, instead of fear and hate. Spirituality is not a word, it is an action. Betty, I pray that God will give you the strength you need in order to continue to share your blessed account. I want you to know that you emanate love. Your aura is gold, and you are so humble and genuine. Your message has this certain pureness and truth to it, one that cannot be denied. You help others to find that inner peace within, that concrete knowing, which no money can ever buy. It comes from God, it comes from within. God bless you Betty, and your entire family as they help you to share your oh so important message. I thank you for everything you are, and everything you have done for God. He sure knew what He was doing when He picked you:) I will love you for "eternities." Jaclyn

Dear Betty,I have been following your work since your first book, Embraced. My boss told me about you. She said that your book was wonderful. It was. Since then, I have read all three of them. They are such a comfort to me. In the Bible God asked King Solomon if he wanted riches or wisdom. Solomon chose wisdom. I knew this Bible story as a child, and have prayed and sought God's wisdom all my life. Now since reading your books, it is an obsession with me. I seek him in all things and in everyone. Your books have given me so much peace. So many times in my life I have fallen short. I have had many bad things to happen to me and I haven't always done as God would want me to do. I wasn't in the frame of mind that I should have been and I didn't act the way a creation of His should act or react. Since reading your first book I have had a much better relationship with our Heavenly Father. Your books reassured me of the love he has for us and not just rules. I sought God's wisdom in your books and found it. I read the Bible more and in a different light. I finally can live with myself in true peace. I talk to people about Him much more than I used to. I welcome the chance to share my love with them and share your story. Since reading your first book, my life has changed so much for the better. My prayers are always answered. Because of this, I know the love he has for me. My time with my family is better. Now I am much more confident about talking about our Heavenly Father with others. I even tell people now that I will pray for them.I am so much happier than I ever have been. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and adding to our wisdom of our Lord and Savior. In Christian love, Gina

hi, A friend of mine showed me your book in 1997, though I got interested in new age things. I think that Ì`ve always been searhing for something else. in 1997, I was just divorced and I got plenty of joy and comfort reding your book every now and then. Anyway, I know that you`ve get these kind of messages everyday and I sometimes Wonder, do you really know what kind of changes your book (the first) makes in people? I use to wonder that everything hs it`s own time, perhaps you were more stronger to handle this kind of publicity and all the things that came along with the first book. These time that we are living in are just the right time for us. there is really a reason for everything. I wish you strength to keep up with everything that goes on in your life, if you only knew the difference that yoou make...

Mrs. Eadie: I could write a book myself on the gratitude I feel in my heart to Jesus for leading to me reading your book. I have been in a "prolonged depression" for 13 years. I am a 36 year old woman with an angel for a husband. I lost both my parents at a young age. I turned to my Catholic faith in hope for going on. For years I took from it sin and guilt. I was paralized in fear. I shut myself off from life. I read your book last Friday and have been walking around with peace and tranquility in my soul. I have always known God and loved Jesus. I now realize it was evil that was convincing me that my "suffering" was being offered up to God for all the wrong I was doing. God wants me to live and be happy to serve and to love others. I stepped out of the dark and was also "embraced by the light" of God's love thru your writing. THANK YOU KIND SOUL!

Hi Betty: I sure do miss your "speaking engagements". Years ago, you had spoken (in L.A.). Although I don't remember too much of the exact words, I remember my FEELINGS about it, as I was on "cloud nine" for several weeks. I have nothing signficant to say, except that I do very much enjoy your website, as there are so many interesting areas to click on.

Dear Mrs. Eadie , i had read your first book in '95it was a very traumatic time for our whole family, and the book gaveus a lot of comfort. and helped during that time. now we are going through another time like that and igot to read the other 2 books and needless to sat they also helped me, though in a different way. the first time it was talking the pain and now the change of veiwing the situation in the light of what 'it' the situation stands and my res[onse to it.thamks for the same. i noticed that there are few letters from my side of the world. and that some people after reading the books and finding so much comfort still feel "Christ as the only "way". i would like to hear your comments on this aspect. i personally always felt it is not the 'Name' with which you call but the 'Person' you call. indepth study of the hindu religion reviels that there is no 2 but only 'ONE ' and alla the different aspects are of THAT ONE TRUTH. tkanks and love to you -lakshmi

Dear Betty: I am sure someone has asked you this before, but I would like to know for myself. Have you joined a particular church since the time that you had you experience in the spirit world? I'm sure you are aware of the following but just in case. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and just about everything that you discribe in you book Embraced by the Light, is in perfect harmony with the teachings of the church. Things such as the pre-existance that you described, how we all took part in the creation of the earth, the fact that there are countless other earths that the Lord has created which are inhabited with children of god. There are many other things that are in your book that the LDS church teaches. Although you had an increadible first hand experience these are things, they have been revealed through prophets in our time, the first of these prophets in modern times being Joseph Smith. I would like to know if you have studied and concidered the LDS church, and what you think about the outstanding similarities of your experience and the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Please respond, I am realy interested in your answer. Thanks, Israel.

I admire your courage to go public with your experience and at the same time, I'm very happy that you did. Ten years ago, my grandma, who also happened to have the name of Betty Jean, passed away from lung cancer and emphysema. She meant sooooo much to me and I loved spending every minute with her. The first few years after her death were very difficult for me. I'm not much for seeking comfort from others and prefer to grieve alone. I knew that she was in a better place, but that didn't seem to ease the pain. When I read your book some four years later, it made me feel soooo much better about her death and that she really is better. It also was very comforting to read that your departed loved ones can communicate with you through your dreams. I have had two distinct dreams that involved my grandma. I just thought they were just "normal" dreams, but they seemed too real. One dream involved my deceased great-grandmother who told me that my granda was alright and for me to stop worrying. The other was my grandma herself telling me she was fine. After reading your book it is nice to know that there is something more to those two dreams than just "a dream". Your message has also given me great strength with going through life and believing that there really is a reason for everything, whether it is good or bad. I can't thank you enough for the peace of mind you have given me. THANK YOU!!!!

Dear Betty, Last week you responded to a letter I sent regarding my 9 yr old son who has emotional problems and has stated on several occasions that he has a "black heart". Your books have given me strenght and your email to me helps me continue that strenght. I am still scared about what will happen with him, but I will never stop praying for him and thanks to you and your books, I know that no matter how bad things get, I need to help him know Jesus is with him no matter what. Thanks again for your email response to me!!!

Your book changeds my life so many ways! I had a near death experience at 12,(though I didn't know it at the time) and can appreciate your message. Still, after 12, I went through a lot, and was turning away from my path, till I found Embraced. Keep up the good work! I promise you a hug on the other side! I sent your book to my friend's Mom, after my friend committed suicide. It has been a great comfort to her also! Love and light to you!

hi betty I read your books following my reading of Melvin Morse's book on near death experiences of children. Thank you for sharing this most personal account of your experiences! Thank you for your words of eternal truth in Love and Light and for the work of Jesus Christ in bringing this knowledge to our world plane

Dear Betty, I read your book "Embraced By The Light" about 7 years ago and found it to be very uplifting, it also made me wander if you were a member of "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints", there was a comment you made in your book that people who are in different religions are at different levels of spiritual learning, I probably haven't said it right but it was something to that effect. I think if you had said that you (meaning people in general) need to join the Catholic faith, or the Jewish faith or even the Mormon faith, I would have stopped reading your book, because I know for a surety that Heavenly Father gave us the free agency to do what we wanted and it was up to us to choose what religion we should join and how we should life our lives. You know my father passed away 23 years ago, he died the day after my daughter was born, I miss him dearly and think of him every day, he was a good father and a loving husband, I also know that he is about the Lords work serving a mission in the Spirit World. About 4 years ago my mother passed away I miss her to. I come from a family of nine brothers and sisters, we all made it to our mothers funeral and it was wonderful being back together after 20 years apart, each one of her sons and daughters knew in their hearts that our parents were together again after 20 years, we rejoiced in their reunion along with the family in the Spirit World, I am telling you this because you book re-affirmed every thing I already knew. I know without a shadow of doubt that my Heavenly Father loves me I have felt his love often and pray to him every day. I am greatful for the atonement, I just wish that others knew what a great sacrifice Jesus made for us in dying for our sins. Thank you for your book, I am currently reading "The Awakening Heart". I don't think I need to say God Bless you, because I know that he already does.

Hello Betty, I just wanted to write to let you know how much your three books have blessed out lives. My husband was diagnosed with Glioblastoma Mulfiforme - a brain cancer on March 4, 1999 and told that he had six months to 18 months to live. Well August will be his 18th month. All treatments have stopped and he is in a hospital bed at home and can not do anything for himself. I have taken a leave of absence from work to care for him. My mom sent me "Embraced By The Light" to read. My husband and I have both read it and it has really helped us. We are both Christians and believe in Heaven but this book made it so real. I shared the chapter about prayer with my church and everyone is waiting in line to read it. We also found "Awakening Heart" and The Ripple Effect in our public library. My husband has almost finished "Awakening" and I am almost finished with all of them. They are wonderful. Everyone who comes to visit us, hears about these books. Thank you so much for writing them. I know God sent them our way just at the right time.

Dear Betty, It has taken me months to finish your book. My Mom died one year and 2 days ago. She ended her life just hours (I believe) before my Dad was to undergo emergent cardiac bypass surgery, which we were all afraid he would not survive. My belief is my Mom could not bear the thought of facing life without Dad, so she decided to go first. I now believe she watched over him and the surgeons during his surgery. I awoke at 1:30am the day(night)I believe she died, to a clap of thunder& lightening flash, which I believe was her soul departing in anger. Can that be? Can Spirits be angry when they are leaving earth? I awoke at 1:22am on 7/26 this year out of a sound sleep and "saw" a flash of white light in the corner of my left eye even though my eyes were closed. There was no sound. (Several times in the past year I have felt my Mom's presence and it has been comforting.) I still have many mixed emotions at times about my Mom's death as our last encounter was one of frustration, anger, and mean words on my part. I am still filled with such great shame and horror that I did not love her enough during the time when she needed it most...in these last hours of her life. I failed her. I let her history of alcoholism, prescription misuse, and emotional turmoil cloud my vision and did not reach out to her in love. To her, times in these past years must have seemed like "censored on earth". In the times when she was sober and doing "well" with functioning in life, she was the greatest Mom I could have asked for. I miss that Mom. Yet, I am also grateful that she has been released from her earthly torment and pain. I am still so sad that none of us were with her at the end. She died physically alone. A co-worker gave your book to me and it was astounding. When I needed reassurance that God, Heaven, and Spirits truly did exist, along came this simple yet profound message about Life, Death, God, Heaven, Spirits and so forth. I read "Embracing the Light" very slowly to savor and try to understand the content fully. Then for months I could not read it, yet carried it with me each day. Your experience was/is beautiful. I have learned a few lessons in life and do understand the sorrow before the joy part. I repeat mistakes, yet am slowly moving forward. My Mom's earthly death has taught me so many things I never imagined possible. At times it is small comfort, when I miss this wonderful loving, kind, caring, compassionate, funny woman who gave birth to me. My son is 2 years old and I ache that he did not have more time with her on this earth and he may not remember her. I try my best to bring her to "life" for him in various ways and will continue to do so. Did your Monks or Spirit friends or God give you any messages you can remember about those who commit suicide? I am frightened for I was taught that if you commited suicide you did not go to Heaven. I am trying with all my might to believe and have faith in the life beyond Earth, the others waiting for me, those Guardian Angels around me all the time, the Spirits that are special to me. Thank you for helping me in my pain at this time with your book.Now I will look for your other books. With gratitude....Melody

I absolutely love all of your books. I have them all. I found them so uplifting and special. I refer them to all of my clients. I am a Nail technician and Massage therapist. Many of my clients have returned telling me of the wonderful things and doors into themselves it had opened. I look forward to each time I reread your books. Please continue your wonderous and blessed work. May God continue to keep watch over you and yours.

Dear Betty, The experiences that are recorded in your book "Embraced by the Light" came as an answer to prayer. The night before I learnt of your book, I had prayed and asked Heavenly Father, "what is the importance of love?" The next day a friend of mine showed me your book, I read it, and I received a direct answer to my many questions in the pages of your wonderful book. Thankyou for sharing your experience with us. It has made a profound difference in my life. I have also had the displeasure of reading "embarrassed by the light" and I can tell you that the only thing that I was embarrassed about was that I was also a member of that same church. It is a great shame that we can only attack those things that we do not understand. Please know that we do not all share the same thoughts as expressed in that publication. May the Lord can continue to bless you as you help others to understand and come to the light. Raphael.

Betty, Embraced by the Light was given to me by my 21 yr old daughter in October '99. I read it aloud to my husband last Nov. 4 while traveling to another state. WOW ! Two weeks later, on Nov. 19, my 26 yr old son died from an auto accident. I know it was God's plan for me to read Embraced by the Light before this tragedy.. You have helped the entire family deal with our grief journey. Paul's monument headstone reads .... "Embraced by the Light". I have a picture of Paul, taken a few years ago from behind him. He is standing in the Light (in the doorway of a barn). The LIGHT shines all around him. We have had it enlarged and framed in our family room. It too, is titled. "Embraced by the Light". You have blessed us with so much comfort. I don't know how we could have survived Thanksgiving, Christmas, and then New Year Day (Paul's birthday) had we not read Embraced by the Light. Paul was an organ donor and we get to meet 3 of the recipients July 29 th in North Carolina. Several media outlets are covering the meeting including newspsper and TV stations. We will share with them how your book has helped in dealing with the death of a child.. God Bless you. Al & Sandy Hickey

I have read "Embraced" and now reading"Awakening".I know you've been very blessed in your experience. I am 30 and have had many experiences happen to me beginning when I was 15 years old. I would like to share them but don't know where to start. I've had many many dreams come true and many having to do with the deaths of loved ones before they've died. Sometimes I feel this is a way to prepare me before it happens or to show me I have a special gift. So far I can't pin point the actual reason why this happens to me. Julie Sundborg

Dear Betty, I think I'm the first one to write from Brazil. What an honor for me! I finished reading Embraced by the Light last week and I must tell you that I LOVED IT. Specially the chapter about the Pray. I realized that was doing the same pray every night without faith and this is not good... It was very, very good for me to know that the WARRIOR ANGELS are there for me trough pray. They had been with me before! Betty I'm sure that part of your unfinished mission was to write these books at least for me ... Embraced by the light really touched my heart. Fears are gone and I think I'm a better person! I got Embraced by the Light and The Awakening Heart as a good bye present when I left Philadelphia after being there for 2 months studying English. I told Anita, my friend who gave me the books, that we might know each other from heaven! Well that's all for now. Right now I'm going to start reading The Awakening Heart. God bless you! Adriana Rocha

Your books are wonderful! I recently bought 'Ripple Effect' as an anniversary gift for my husband. Thank you so much for your inspirations! God Bless you & your wonderful family!

Today is the 8th anniversary of my Grandmother's death. I thought I'd repost my experience of after death signs: In 1992 my Grandmother, whom I was very close to, passed away. On the day of her wake, I was babysitting my 2 year old nephew, who had been told that “Grandma Markham” went to heaven. While we were in the back yard, he was playing and I was sitting on a chair smoking and sulking. He asked in his 2 year old speech, “Framma Markham in heaven?” It really got to me. I replied, “Yes, she is," although, even having been raised Catholic and brought up in a very religious home, I was doubting my faith. When someone you loves dies, it’s very difficult and I was thinking very skeptically. I silently prayed to God. I said that I loved my Grandmother so much but that my faith was waning. I asked that God please send me a sign that she was in his care. Then I thought even to ask for the specific sign that I wanted: a butterfly to come into the yard, a sign of renewal and a new life. I had not consciously remembered having seen a butterfly in years, so I felt that if I did see one, it would certainly be a concrete sign. After a few minutes I was astonished to see a small butterfly enter the yard. Upon close inspection, I noticed it was a small moth. I mentally talked to God again and said, “No offense God, but my Grandmother deserves better than a moth.” Within two minutes a big, beautiful butterfly entered the yard! It was dark, shiny brown with bright yellow spots. I was SPEECHLESS. Tears immediately welled up as I just could not believe the answer to my prayers. What followed was consoling and uncanny. While the big butterfly exited the yard, two small white butterflies entered. Unlike the brown one, these two stayed in the yard for ten minutes before coming over to where I was sitting. Chills started to traverse my spine as the two made a horizontal formation directly at my eye level in front of my face, about six inches away. They were perfectly parallel about five inches apart and remained stationary, facing me while fluttering their wings. Tears fell from my eyes. I could not have asked for a more trenchant sign than that! I thanked God that he is taking care of her all these years. Your speech last night was very moving and it reminded me of this and my Grandmother. Thanks very much. And PEACE to all who are experiencing the pain of losing someone. They are not lost. They are living in the light. Love, Jim Todd formerly of Hasbrouck Heights New Jersey, in loving memory of my late Grandmother, Mary Markham

Dear Betty, A couple of months ago, a man I worked with passed away suddenly from a heart attack while exercising. He left a young wife and two small children. I got up the courage to give her Embraced By The Light after the funeral, but I heard recently that she is having a very hard time dealing with his death. Not at all surprising, as it was very hard for those of us who had the pleasure to share the ups and downs of a very demanding job with him. Please pray for this woman and her family. Thanks a bunch!

You have a beautiful homepage. I have been studying your books and find them so interesting and informative. I wish very much that I could meet you. God bless you!!

Hi Betty! Hi Tom! Hello from COLORADO!! We think you're AWESOME!! We hope you get to come again soon!! Anyone in the Northern CO/Southern WY area who is excited about Betty and her message, 'STAND UP 'N HOLLAR' !! (Actually, 'Drop Me A Line' !! Let's get in touch and chat; or maybe get together for dinner somewhere.) !! Joni

Betty, I have had your book, Embraced by the Light, for years and plan to get it out and read again. I have just completed the reading of Awakenings. Such a inspiration. I continuallly find myself in impossible relationships and get left and find myself all alone and wishing to die. I have just joined a Course of Miracles study group and finding food for thought and guidance with the group. Thanks for your sharing through your books. I hope to become the light that I am and know I am as God has made me. With love...Sara

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou, I too have been told that I have work to do, thankyou for doing yours and inspiring me to start my journey home!!! I love you! God bless, jodie.

In 1999, I purchased your book, " The Awakening Heart" . As I read this book , I would read it and put it down periodically, I haven't finished it but intend to. I must say though that book helped me through alot and through more understanding of human lives. Recently I lost my father-n-law to Cancer, today is one month aniversary of our loss. This morning he came to me, I am also like you and share the same gifts. I was worried for awhile though, my faith was tested. My mother-n-law is understanding of somethings but i realize as I write to you, I must get your books to help her with her loss. I want to thank-you for having the courage to writing your experiences , taking the chance of opening the world to these things on the otherside. If a Frank, tends to talk with you, its just our poppa Root. Chrissy May god spread his angel wings upon you and bless you for your courage. P.S Out here in Connecticut, we have a support metaphysical group managed by Diane Blask. This group has been growing and is very speical. There will be a spiritual move in our future. If at all possible, if your in the area, we would love a visit. For furthor info email me back.....

I passed Embraced by the Light on to a friend who recently lost his wife. I was not sure if he would be receptive, but he called today and absolutely made my day. He has purchased the book for several of his friends and family as they have been hit hard this year with the losses of their loved ones. He thanked me over and over for sharing the gift of your book. I told him it was not my gift to keep, but to share. Thank you Betty for sharing your story. Your book was the first comfort I felt after a family death. I feel compelled to share it with others who need to hear it. You are God's blessing to us.

Wow! You are such an inspiration in my life! I thank God everyday that there are people like you on this earth.

I heard you speak, and we met briefly at World Peace and Prayer Day celebration in the Black Hills this June. As I told you, although I didn't die to receive them, I received many of the same messages as you did. You were the reason I was called to the Black Hills this summer. (I was called back in the middle of running errands to hear you speak.) I look forward to reading your book and finding other things that I had been told but had a hard time accepting. Thank you for coming and speaking to us. Carol PS I hope you enjoyed the gift I was told to give you.

Dear Betty, If you only knew the effect your books have on people. God sent me an angel named Miss Gail. She told me about your book and I immediately ordered it on-line. I read Embraced in 2 days and was amazed and I still am. I immediately read The Awakening and was evevn more amazed. Miss Gail didn't even know you had a third book so I'm going to purchase it for the both of us. Your book has given me a new outlook on life. I had been praying for a better more personal relationship with God and I am currently seeking it. I was amazed to find out that God has a sense of humor. I believe that God bought Miss Gail and your books into my life for a very good reason. I also believe that I'm about to embark on a journey that is going to be so very rewarding. I'm 21 yrs. old now and I feel like my life is just beginning with all the new information I have about God's love. For instance, I had been having a very bad week with everything bad happening one after another. So I prayed, but not only did I pray, I trusted and depended totally on God to make everything alright and he did. In a period of 1 week He showed me how awesome He can be. Now, I can't wait to trust and obey Him even more and see what else He brings my way(good and bad because everything that God allows to happen is for one's own spiritual growth). Thank you so much for helping me begin my journey.

Dearest Betty, I cannot thank you enough for sharing your books with the world, partly because I need to thank you for not just myself, but my mom also who passed into the spirit world two years ago. My mother was ill and close to death for a large part of her life and NDE's were ofen a topic of study and prayer for her. She passed on to me what she learned and I know that your books especially were a great comfort to her. After 3 of my sisters and I had the privilege of being with her at home when she finally made her transition I re-read and re-read your books and they were a great source of strength and inspiration. Thank you from me and mom, mine and I'm sure her prayers are with you in continuing your wonderful work!

Dear Betty, My name is Brian and I am 16 years old and need to ask you something. I don't know whether you read all of these comments or not, but i'm hoping that you will read this one. I'm sure you get this kind of thing all of the time, but I still wanted to ask this to you. I have a friend that I met online and we have very compatible personalities, but when it comes to the Religion part of it, he has a strong atheist point of view. I have tried talking to him about it, but he is locked onto it. Nothing I say will convince him... Do you know of anything I could say or do for him to maybe atleast make him think twice about it? I would really appreciate your e-mailing me back because I do not want to end our friendship over it and I don't want anything bad to happen to him. I would greatly appreciate any comments you could give me about this matter. Thank You for your time. Sincerely, Brian

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with all of us. Fifteen years ago my daughter Rianna had to have emergency abdominal surgery. She kept seeing the lite, and the angels, and wanted to go home. At different times over the course of a week her spirit would leave her body and I was allowed the precious gift of seeing what she was experiencing. She did decide to live, but it took most of a year for her to stop coming to me, and taking my hand and saying "Lets go home now mommy." Have you thought about beginning a church with these principles in mind? I've been to Unity off and on for about sixteen years and it just doesn't feel like its my place to meet and share with fellow friends. Again thank you for your courage and faith in sharing your journey and God bless and keep you in heavenly lite. Ashlei

All I can say is thank you to Betty. Losing my mother was the hardest hting I've ever been throught. Reading Embrassed By The Light helped me to begin the healing process and gave me joy in knowing that my mother is in a better more beautiful place. In Heaven with Jesus.

Betty, I just wanted to let you know how much your book has made stop and think before I speak. I am now always wondering if the people I meet here on earth were my good friends in the spirtual world. When I am having a difficult time with someone, I wonder if we made a pact in heaven befre we came to earth. I then treat them as if they were here to remind me of something. I also wonder if my husband were put together by child. I also just want to say that when you were talking about babies and how they pick their parents, it brought me healing for the abortion that I had when I was 18 years old. I now know that my grandmothers that have pasted away are now in heaven pussing their grandbaby on the swings and enjoying the beatiful garden. I have always been taught that heaven was beatiful with streets of gold. I was never afraid of dieing. I however, did not want to leave my children. I now know and trust that if and when my mission is done that my children will be well taken care of by me looking down on them and other angels to be with them in my absence. Thank you for your inspiration and the courage to write the book Embraced By The Light. I can't wait till I read the next book. I would love to meet you one day. All my prayers and love are with you.

Ok! I just finished your book, "Embraced By The Light", and I don't know what to think. In all ways, I believe you. It's just one of them things that is really wierd. Your book did give me comfort, happiness, joy, and strength. I had all of these, you just made them increase. I would love to meet you, but if I ever did you would probably be to overwhelmed with questions. Questions to a more understanding. I am 17 and will be 18 in a month and I still (?) have a while to go. I have so much to learn in the time that I am here on earth and want to experience as much as possible. I just returned a few days ago from a mission trip to Honduras. It was an experience that I will never forget. And it made me want to continue to do more of God's work all over the world. To teach them of all the miraculous things they are missing. I am at a time in my life where I am making decisions about my future (college) and I am very confused. I have been praying for the Lord to lead me in the right direction and let His will be done. And I have full faith that He will. I am gradually learning to grow with patients. If you are able to respond in any way I would greatly appreciate. Just to say Hi!

Dear Betty, I feel as if I have got a new friend in you who shares the same passion as mine —To surrender to the Lord and work towards being a perfect channel of his action on earth.

Betty, Keep writting. With Love, Judy

Dear Betty, Thank you sooooo much for the 3 awesome books you wrote. I, like many, didn't grow up in the most functional of families. I was also sexually abused. I felt so bad all my life. I stuggle with an eating disorder of which I am in a 12 step program. I can honestly say your books have helped me understanding God's unconditional love & that I'm truly suppose to be here....I have a mission. I am talking to God every day & "trying" to listen. I am growing but there is a lot of growth to go. I have four beautiful children (Ryan-6yrs., Drew-4 yrs. & twins Jason & Megan-2 yrs.) I also have a WONDERFUL husband, Rick, all of which I am truly grateful to have. I am desparate to end the addiction cycle that exists in our family, including alcohol/drug addictions. I believe that's probably my mission in life. I am also a nurse. My table is full, but I'm so grateful! Thank you for doing God's work so that it could reach me to better my relationship with God. Take Care & God Bless, Love, Kelly

I was so inspired by The Ripple Effect; inspired to see much more of what this world calls "life" then I have been before. Many fascinations were created from reading your book. I want to thank you for your written words and I'm so glad you are sharing your experience with us. God Bless You!

Dear Betty, Thank-you very much for your writings and your ministry. I read "Embraced" quite awhile ago and now I have just finished "Ripple". WOW!!!!!! I have read more in the last month (mostly about NDE's, etc.) than I probably have this whole last year. Now the minute I finish a book I am checking another one out from the library to learn more and more about this. I have been close to death at various times in my life, but I am not sure if I ever had a true NDE. I have a very dear friend who has been to the other side and I just love to talk with her about it. I look forward to reading more and more of your work. God bless you Betty and your ministry.----Linda
