| Dear
Betty, I want to extend my deepest love and thanks for the personal time you spent at the book signing in San Antonio with each of us. Before you walked in, my spirit immediately alerted me to your loving presence already close by. When I saw you, I recognized you immediately, and when we hugged, I felt a relief of being reunited with you again; I can't describe it--it was so profound. Without a doubt, I know I knew you from before and I am to continue to help you in some small way do God's will. Betty, you have deeply and directly impacted all our lives. On the way back to Laredo, all we talked about was how much meeting with you has touched us. Michael, who has been through so much (losing his father at 10 years old and surviving a very dysfunctional and abusive home life) and who, for the most part, has been a lost soul searching for meaning and direction, now says he feels "a lot of love for everyone" after meeting you. You told him that his spirit has the "power to influence people," and I know he has taken your message to heart -- he says he wants to use it in a positive and spiritual way. He had been letting his life drift; he almost didn't graduate from high school, and did not enroll in college afterward. But after meeting you, he feels a new resolve -- almost like he knows he has to accomplish a mission. I have taken him in to my home, which I know will also be good for him because I can keep him close and continue to keep your message alive in him. My mother, whom you called God's "warrior," was also deeply touched. She said she felt so close to your spirit as you hugged her last night -- she called it a "booster shot," something she needed. Maria, the young woman who told you that she tried to commit suicide earlier this month, felt an incredible connection to you. She felt your unconditional love and compassion as you held her and comforted her. She feels she's been given a brand new view of life. Your love touched something deep inside her, which I know will remain with her forever. My friend Christa has been going through the most traumatic year of her life. She knows she is undeveloped spiritually and is giving herself to God so that she can become closer to him. She says she has always felt unworthy of His love, and believed He could never accept her or forgive her for things she has done in life. But, your message of unconditional love and that "everything happens for a reason" is keeping her going. She knows that before she came to earth she chose to go through this hardship, and she is accepting it and letting God lead her. You told her that "God never gives us more than He knows we can bear," and that has given her strength. Finally, from every part of my heart, I thank God for you, Betty, and I thank Him for what you are doing for us and for everyone around the world. I love you, Betty. I loved you since before we came to earth, I love you now, and I will love you for eternities. Laredo, TX |

| Hi,
Betty! I had a dream about "The Ripple Effect" and didn't even know you had a third book out. In the dream it after was after church and the priest wanted to talk to me. We went to his office and he told me that he saw one wing behind me. I asked him why only one? Why not two wings? But he didn't answer. I looked behind me and I saw my one wing. It was my left wing and I was able to move it. The priest told me I needed more guidance and I could see he was happy to have found someone like me and was excited he would have the chance to guide me. He said I needed to read two books and showed them to me. The first one was Embraced By The Light. I told the priest I had already read it. The second book was hidden beneath Embraced, but I could see the top half of it. I didn't see any writing on it and I didn't know who the author was. The priest went on to say that God has given me gifts and that I need to use them and develop them. The dream ended. When I awoke I couldn't get the dream out of my head and wondered what was the second book. Later, in a bookstore, a book caught my eye. When I saw the cover I knew it was the unknown book from my dream! I noticed your name in big letters and said to myself, "I didn't even know she had a third book." If I would have known I would have bought it as soon as it came out. I bought it then, of course, and it's a wonderful book. I cried because I knew God had spoken to me in my dream and had guided me to your book. For the past year I hadn't been really able to feel his presence, but now I was happy to have a connection with him again. There are certain lines in the book that I read and know that it's God talking to me. I'm thankful for the gift God has given me, and that is your book. Houston, TX |

| Hello
Betty: Peace and Blessings to you. I just finished reading "Spirit Song" by Mary Summer Rain. I felt that same quickening of my spirit that I felt when I read "Embraced" and "The Awakening Heart." Have you read this? What do you think of the prophecies in the end of the book? Do you know about the sign of the White Buffalo? I am not Native American but I think it is fitting and appropriate that God speaks through them about the coming earth changes. When Summer Rain is speaking about the "earth mother," I feel such a kinship. I feel such peace from Nature, there is so much healing in her stillness. I read in another book that so many people have become spiritually aware that we have raised the vibration of the planet some and these earth changes have been postponed. Do you know anything of this? I continue to give away copies of "Embraced." That is part of my mission. It is more than just a source of comfort; I believe it opens the door to a real spiritual quest. Once you have been "enlightened," you can never go back into darkness. So many people have told me how the book has helped them. Some people read it and they don't "get" it. Some people are ready. The spirit within recognizes the truth. I am eagerly awaiting your new book! Do you realize how fortunate you are, Betty? You are already realizing your purpose! To be a guide to spiritual hope for many, many, people. How wonderful! Just think, betty, words you wrote years ago are still shinning the light and giving hope and comfort right now, this very moment! I was thinking last night, what I would want people to remember about me when I go home. I would want them to say, "She gave encouraging words." That is what I strive for daily and that is what you do now and have already done in the past! Your words will never die, the encouragement lives on, the ripples ever widen. Keep shining the Light!!

Betty: This is wonerful! Yesterday morning my sister called me and was hysterical. She said the night before she was reading "Embraced by the Light" and she fell asleep reading it. When she woke up in the morning she grabbed her glasses off the night stand like she always does, but when she put them on...she could not see. She was scared because she thought that her eyes had gotten even worse than they already were...and she had been practically blind as a bat. Well, she took the glasses off and could not believe that she could see without them! She got so excited she was crying. She called her optomatrist and he had her come in immediately. He tested her, and her eyes overnight had improved by 1/3. The tests were very conclusive. He could not explain it and told her to see her regular doctor right away. But that doctor couldn't explain it either. My sister says it is because of her prayers and belief in God. She honestly thinks it is a miracle. She was so emotional because she could see again. I told her that, personally, I would chalk it up to a gift from God, and I would not question it or try to come up with a scientific answer, as that would spoil Gods gift to her. Pretty wonderful, huh? I am waiting for your next book anxiously!!! Via email |

Mrs. Eadie: i can not begin to tell you how much your book has helped me in my life... i came across it in a truck stop on audio cassette about 5 yrs ago or so and listened to it several times a day for about 6 weeks and then gave it to my daughter and family to listen to and then i bought a dozen or so of the books and ended up giving them all away.. so much of what you had written pertained to my own life that i just could not get over it. i lived and preached you and your works to everyone who i met and would listen for more than 2 minutes. it seems that for more years than i can recall i have been having dreams and visions and so many spiritual type happenings in my life and no one was able to give me a clue as to what was happening or going on and then when I was feeling crazy and disoriented and depressed you showed me i wasn't—am not—crazy. you see i have had no near death experience that i can recall nor have i died of any traumatic incidents in my life.... but i have seen and heard the living waters and visited the golden city, and found that so many of the things you related in your book i had experienced..... i still have not found the reason or purpose for my having gone through all of this, but i do go on with renewed faith and belief that there is more purpose for me here than i could ever realize.. i do give thanks for you and your writings and for helping me..... thank you, and love always - john Via email |

Betty: For several years I have belonged to a divinely inspired organization dedicated to helping people "find a God of their understanding." It has made it so much easier for even athiests to have a loving relationship with the God they grow to know. A friend of mine noticed I had a lot of interest in the afterlife, so he told me with much excitement about your first book, "Embraced By The Light." He later went home to God after enjoying many years while his cancer was at bay. The last time I saw him was at a meeting and he was sitting in his wheelchair. I said, "Hugh, when you finally go home to the Big Kahuna, will you ask Him to help me find a husband?" He said, "It's a promise, and you will find the right mate. I will see to it." I knew this was the last time I would see him here on earth, and I kissed him goodbye on the top of his balding head. Well, Hugh kept his promise. And I now have a wonderful husband. I've read your books and listened to them on tape as I drive to work, and I can't help but "click" with most of what you say about the afterlife. What happened during your experience and the knowledge you were given is a solidification of what I somehow inherently know already. It's a beautiful thing, this spiritual journey, and there is nothing in any of your books for anyone to be afraid of. We have a very important saying in our group when getting to know our God: "Take what you want, and leave the rest." It takes the pressure off of feeling as if one must accept all of what one religion or philosophy states. True spirituality is such an intimate and personal journey with God that no one group or religion can sufficiently cover all the bases. Anyway, don't let those whose sickness is stronger than their recovery ever hinder you from writing, speaking or even singing what you know to be the truth. I don't. I love you lady!

Betty: The Ripple Effect is awesome! It brought a lot of understanding and closure to many loose ends. When I was 2 or 3 years old my world went dark. I have suspected sexual abuse because I remember seeing black in my potty and the adults gasping, and I did not know what happened. From then on and through all my life, FEAR controlled me. FEAR of being sexually abused. FEAR that my children would be sexually abused. As a child I didn't feel trust in God, but I always loved Jesus. When I was 7 or 8, I wanted to go home for Christmas from the residental school. I got down on my knees and prayed asking Jesus to send someone to come and get me. I thought my family had forgotten about me. Then I knew...I had a knowing....that someone was coming to get me. Sure enough, my oldest brother showed up and took me home. I was so happy. When I read the part in The Ripple Effect about abused children, it really hit home. Everything made sense and an understanding came. I read the part about the 3 year old and how she prayed asking Jesus to come and get her. How she was taken to the garden while she was being sexually abused. Now I can understand my own blocked memory and why I felt so close to Jesus. Today I can understand why I did not trust God completely even though my heart wanted to. I used to question my faith and think that I was not obedient enough or praying enough. I would get spiritual lazy and then I would be hard on myself. I felt there was something missing, but I did not know what. Now, after reading the chapter on Abused Children, I can understand where I lost my trust. Betty, I thank God for all the gifts and answers he has given. It has been a long, long journey. Finally I am stepping into the light and away from the negative and from the FEAR it gave me when I was a child. Today, I embrace the light. I choose to listen to the positive. I am building my trust as I let go. I know that God understands the way I am growing. People will not understand what I do to help myself and my growth. But this is my life and I intend to put my faith and trust in God. God will put people in my path according to my needs, and it is up to me to reconize this. I am learning to reconize the good and the REAL things that God sends. I understand myself better, I can give positively to others, and I can give love. It is an effort for me to be there for others, but God knows I try. Sometimes I cry. Not from the sadness of it all, but just from relief. I don't beat myself up over all the negativity of the past. It was all I knew as a child, but there was much more underneath it all. I just had to uncover it and embrace what God has given. The healing that God gives is wonderful. I am being filled with LOVE, ACCEPTANCE, KINDNESS, HONESTY, SHARING, STRENGTH, and learning to completely TRUST. Yes, it has been a long journey. But I am coming home! via email, location unknown |

Betty: Embraced By The Light started me on my spiritual journey and I'm extremely thankful to you for that. I have always felt confused about my religion and have only begun to realize that there is a difference between religion and spirituality. When I read The Ripple Effect, your emphasis on Jesus seemed to send me back to my religious upbringing. I think I have this notion that if I believe in Jesus then I have to believe everything that was taught to me in Catholic school. Anyway, I had question. If Jesus died for us to open the gates of Heaven, then what happened to all of the souls of the people that died before his existence? This really troubled me! But from your books I have found tremendous relief in the fact that these people, and others who may not have led the best lives, or those who need more spiritual guidance after death are not turned away by God or sent to hell. I love the thought that their spirits have an opportunity to fill up with God's love and move on to be with him. I just could never believe that a just God would turn away people who may not have found religion in their lives or might have made mistakes but are still decent people. But I also found it hard to believe that someone who didn't lead a great life would be in the same place as Mother Teresa! So what I have read in your writings makes sense to me. Thank you for sharing your life through your books. Don't ever give up, Betty! via email, location unknown |

Betty: I am 31 years old and I have never had a strong religious belief system. I questioned God and I questioned his exsistence constantly. Because of this, I claimed to be an athiest. However, in a philosophy class, I wrote a paper about going to heaven as an athiest and still being accepted there, should a heaven actually exist. I just knew that if there were a God, he would forgive me for questioning his existence and give me a second chance. Then a friend gave me a copy of "Embraced." The day I started reading it was November 18, 1999, the same date you mention in the beginning of your book. I took this as a sign! And while reading, I became a firm believer in your experience. You have helped me along spiritually, and now I no longer call myself an atheist. Your book reinforced everything I knew was true deep inside me and yet was unable to put into words because it was blocked by my "forgetting veil." For me to grow spititually, I needed that part of my memory awakened. Thank you for helping me to remember. Reading your book was like recovering from amnesia, and it was a wonderful sensation. Now I just giggle and rejoice in my "new" belief system. This Christmas was most enjoyable, as I reminded myself time and again that I was no longer an athiest! Thanks for opening the door for me. I have been searching for a long time. In the process, people in my life were worried for me and questioned me. They couldn't understand why I didn't believe. Now that I do believe, they don't like it. They don't like that I found my answers through your books, and they really question your credibility. But what difference does it make if I started to believe through your books or some other way? The important thing is is that I do have some faith now. It's not like I have joined a cult, but that's how some people treat me. I don't let it stop me, however, and now I am reading the "Awakening Heart," and I look forward to reading "The Ripple Effect" with great anticipation. I know I have a long road to travel spiritually, but thanks to you, I will get there. I never thought I would, but now I know I will. Sending you peace and love. Aberdeen, South Dakota |

Betty: "Embraced by the Light" had a great impact on my life. I'm a First Nations, Unit Chief/Paramedic in British Columbia. I deal with death & dying day in & day out! The stress from this gave me a nervous breakdown four years ago. Going back into my spiritual ways and praying often helped me survive. It was only my love for helping people that kept me going as a paramedic. But after reading your book, I learned to look at death not as the end but as a new beginning! Now when I deal with death at the scenes, I just pray for their souls to go to heaven and comfort the people they've left behind. When working on the ambulance, seeing people in pain, I wished I could take their pain away, and now I realize I can. I've learned that I have a certain gift as a "healer." I ask their spirit guide's permission first because sometimes it's a lesson the person has to go through & I don't want to interfere. After reading your book, I started giving it to other paramedics & dispatchers. We've had many deaths of paramedics. I lost a crew member to a motor vehicle accident coming to cover my shift. I blamed myself for the longest time. But now I know she's where she needs to be, that she's finished her duty in the physical world. Also, she comes to visit me at the Ambulance Station from time to time to check on me. I smell her flowery perfume every now & then. I'm so happy that I had the opportunity to read all your books. Now I work with new energy! God Bless You & Thank You. NEN NUS IN - SA CEN NAL YAH means "See You Later & Thank You" in Chilcotin. Alexis Creek, British Columbia |

Betty Eadie: My name is Rev. Fr. Xavier. I am a catholic priest. I was very much taken up by your book Embraced By The Light. It has been a tremendous amout of joy and hope in my life. In the last two years I have said about 50 funeral masses. In every funeral mass I refer to Embraced By The Light. I preach from that book. People appreciate so much that I refer to it. In fact, a lot people have had the chance of reading it and then they tell me, "Father Xavier, thank you very much for enlightening me from that book...it gives me reason to hope for some thing beyond human reasoning." I will be happy to read your other books, too. Thank you Betty. Location unknown |

Betty: I am a 41-year-old male, and have read your books at least two times each. I must say that I feel a distinct change in myself. I was never a very religious person, though I always believed in God and how he wants us to live our lives. After reading Embraced, I started to pray a little, then a little more as time went on. I find myself wanting to do more for people and I feel a personal peace in myself that feels so good. I try to be a better person, and I think about this a lot more now. I am just a little ole steelworker from Indiana, but have found a new person within myself, and it is because of your devoted work for God. I must thank you with all my heart. I hope that someday, I can go to one of your speeches. I just wish I could spread the simple message that God wants in better ways. My wife and friends need a lot of work, but I think just by my actions and love, they will be RIPPLED, by me. Thank you so much, and all my love. Portage, Indiana |

Betty: I can't believe it took me so long to find you! You've been spreading your message of God's unconditional and boundless love for over seven years, and the first time I ever heard of you was on November 19, 1999. I wondered at the significance of my learning about you on the 26th anniversary of your death and rebirth. To me, it seemed very significant. I don't know what made me turn on the radio that morning. But I was instantly mesmerized by your voice. At first, I was completely skeptical. I have heard so much New Age baloney lately, and I know that most of it is an attempt to make God serve us. I am a Christian and on my way to becoming a fully devoted follower of Christ, via a recent experience with the Holy Spirit, who showed me that God has truly been here with me, protecting me, guiding me, and giving me what I need to complete my mission here on earth. God revealed all of this to me last March. But there was always this little doubt somewhere. Later in the morning I logged on and ordered your books. When I read the synoposis of Embraced, it took my breath away to see the date of your near-death experience: November 19!!!! God was most certainly leading me to you at the time it would be the most helpful and significant to me. I devoured both books as soon as they arrived. Since reading your words, I feel my own spiritual awakening growing stronger and stronger. It is clear to me that you speak God's truth. I wish that I could be of service to you in your mission here on earth. I will start by spreading the word of your books. The Peace and Love of Christ to you, Betty. Cincinnati, Ohio |

Mrs. Eadie: I was given your audio book, "Embraced by the Light," shortly after my husband walked out on us. I didn't listen to it right away, but when I finally did, the timing was right. It is an absolutely wonderful book. One part that really struck me was when you were looking down on an alcoholic and were told that he chose that life to help his friend learn compassion. That really struck home and helped me to forgive my ex-husband who left me with 5 children all under age 6. Another part was when you mentioned a bright and strong soul going into the body of a handicapped child. My four-year-old daughter has Down syndrome. When she was born, I told the doctor I didn't want her...I was so angry...."Why me, God?" But now, four years later, it is, "Why me, God? Why am I so privileged to be this child's mother?" She sees angels. She does not speak a whole lot, but she has used sign language since 15 months old. She consistently points to certain spots in the house and says "baby." That is one of the few words she can say. Frequently at night she sits up in the dark, kisses and hugs these "babies." Of course, I can't see anything. One night she sat up, made the sign for angels, pointed her finger, and pretended she was shooting them (her brothers' influence). She was laughing, but I told her that we don't shoot our guardian angels! She has also pointed upward and said, "Ho ho ho," meaning Santa or any person with a white beard. Because of this child, I am convinced that there is a God. I believe I can feel the love of God through her. Please understand that she is also known as "The Toddler From Hell"...lol. She gets into everything, so I don't mean to imply that she is a perfectly well-behaved child. In fact, there are two things I always tell people about her: 1) She is a child of God with a smile from Satan, and 2) I have two college degrees, and I spend my days trying to outwit my mentally impaired child. My point is that in most ways she is a very normal little girl, but she does have an innocence about her. I have no doubt that she sees angels, and that she is here as proof to us "ordinary folk" that there is a God. If I can help any bereaved person by sharing this, then I am doing what I was put on earth to do...spread the love of God. Location Unknown |

Betty: I heard you speak in Chicago recently, and what you said has literally brought transformation to my spiritual outlook. A few minutes ago, I gave away yet another copy of Embraced By The Light. But what is really amazing to me, is my natural expression of love to so many others since your words in that Chicago bookstore. I have struggled so much with keeping my joy. Chirst Jesus said he came that we might have life more abundantly and that we should be exceedingly joyful. Your words about teaching freed me when I put them into action. You said that we all should be teachers and share our spiritual experiences no matter how great or small. This awakened me to see that the forces of opposition have been keeping me from spiritual progress by convincing me that I had nothing of great value in my current experience to share. You made me realize that I needed to continue to share and acknowledge all of my spiritual experiences whenever God directed me into this opportunity. I began to share right away, and now I am so amazed at the results for others and myself. I feel I have been awakened from a great darkness that even my best of friends could not seem to free me of. But they can see the change in me now and have expressed gratitude and appreciation for my renewed sharing. And to think that this ripple of love is reaching around the world! What a wealth of love is sweeping over the nations! We are one in Love, Truth, God. Thank you! Chicago, Illinois |

Betty: I was born into a Wesleyan Methodist home. In my early teens, I thought I was "saved" but I struggled with many of the horrors I saw happening in that church. I turned away, denied the existence of God, and ran away from home. I married, had two children, and for the next twenty years, I drank to excess so that I could exist in a hostile world I could not understand. I got divorced, ran wild for two years, trying anything and everything to escape reality. Death and the safety of my children were the only things I ever prayed for, usually with clenched fists and teeth, screaming to the heavens. Finally, alone, physically beaten by alcohol, crazy, and spiritually bankrupt, I collapsed and was taken to a detox unit. When I heard mention of God in the AA meetings, I packed my clothes to leave. A little nun ran after me, persuaded me to come to her office and talk. She asked me to consider using her God until I could live with one of my own. I agreed. Today, I am married to a wonderful man, have wonderful relationships with my beautiful children and grandchildren, and have 11 years now of continuous sobriety. I have a loving God in my life that is so very personal and precious to me. I am able to carry the message of hope on a daily basis to those who suffer with active alcoholism. Your book Embraced by the Light was given to me by a friend. I read it in one sitting. I knew you, I loved you, I somehow knew that you knew me, loved me and perhaps prayed for me when I called out so desperately for help. I have always believed that God is much greater, powerful and loving than most people are willing to accept. I know that I have work to do here, that I have just begun. I have a message to carry to these ladies who have been so brutally abused in the name of God. The need here in the Bible Belt is tremendous. The concept of a damning God has destroyed so many lives. Your willingness to write as you have, has given me and several of our fellow AA ladies a sense of belonging in a universe that makes sense. What a blessing that has been for all of us. Thank you! South Carolina |

Betty: I have been experiencing a spiritual hunger for quite some time and I have asked the Lord to please bring me closer to him, to guide me in my life and to show me how to love again. I am a victim of child sexual abuse. I have felt so unworthy of God's love, of anyone's love, even that of my husband's. My body felt dirty and my soul lost and empty. I have known that love is all important and I desire it with all of my heart. However, now as an adult, I cannot trust love. I have been filled with confusion, anger, depression, and drug abuse. I had thought of taking my own life but did not have the courage to do so. Your two books were an essential part of the change in me and my journey to self discovery. After reading The Awakening Heart, I got with the "right" psychotherapist who guided me, without judgment, on a journey into the depth of my soul. I met the "real" me there, and I also met Jesus. I wanted you to know that I now have found peace and I am finding joy. Akron, Colorado |

Betty: One week before I found your book, I saw an angel. I was skimming the pool during a storm, not a wise thing to do, when I felt someone next to me. I turned and saw a man that I did not recognize. He seemed 50 years old or so, but I could tell he was ancient. Nothing was said between us. I just felt calm. When I went back inside, I wasn't sure if I should say anything, so I went about my housework. When I did tell my family, my boys said "sure, Mom," but my husband wanted to know more. He wanted to know why I had the vision. Was something horrible going to happen? I worried for the next week, but then I was led to Embraced By The Light and after I read it, I understood that everything would be okay. Later, my mother in-law died and your insights helped more than you can know. Also, my best friend was planning suicide but overcame those thoughts much because of you. Thank you. Jasper, Indiana |

Betty: I was guided to your book, Embraced By The Light, after a very troubling day. I needed to get away from my children and husband. The only place open was a bookstore with extended hours. Out of the thousands of books there, yours is the one that stood out. I took a copy off the shelf, sat down in an over-stuffed chair, and opened the book to a page at random. There on that page, was just the message I needed! I knew that God meant for me to find it. Thank you for sharing your story. I don't think the ripple effect it has created can be measured. You put hope back into my life. Walnut Creek, California |

of love to you Betty: I've just read The Awakening Heart and must say that I thank God for you. Your books have been a strength to me. I have seen our Beautiful Savior as you have. I've tried to put my experience on paper, but no matter how or what I write, I remain unsatisfied. The message was the same, however: "Tell them of My Love." That's what he told me. He wrapped His beautiful arms around me and I felt the Great Love He Loves us with. I cried tears of joy and mostly because my eyes were opened to His Love for me. Before, I did not know God. I had only known what I read in the scriptures. Now, I know God is more that just what's written in books. He is so beautiful. Beautiful is the only word I can think of to describe Him. I love you, sister, and pray the Lord increase the beautiful work He has done through you. Clayton, Georgia |

I have two sons that have recently passed on, and the grief was so immense. When my first son died, I couldn't understand. Why me? My daughter bought me your books, and now that my second son has passed on, I still feel the loss, but now I understand so much better. God Bless you. Ogden, Utah |

Mrs. Eadie: I've just finished The Awakening Heart, and I know this book was written directly for me. I'm a young mother of 3 beautiful children and a wife to a wonderful man. For some reason I've had a hard time accepting my position as a stay-at-home mom. I didn't feel the importance of my mothering and nurturing. I stayed home mostly to save money, which left me feeling unaccomplished and totally drained of esteem. Society doesn't have high regard for mothers. But now I understand the severity of my role as mother. I'm so grateful for my family and the ability I have to direct and enlighten them, even though sometimes I think they are doing the enlightening! I'm also grateful for your message of Action. I understand that I do not need to spend so much time and energy trying to figure out my mission, but instead to live God's will and my mission will unfold. Your books are my mile markers. I'm so thankful you are willing to do God's work. Thanks and love to you. Manchester, Vermont |

Betty: Thank you for your courage and strength. I recently served a prison sentence for a crime my teenage son committed. I prayed to God, asking why this was happening to me, and asking what I could possibly learn from this horrible experience. Looking back, I can honestly say I learned a lot! I had opportunities to share Embraced By The Light with many inmates who felt they were not loved by God. I was filled with overflowing love every time one of them brought your book back to me with a look in their eyes that showed me that God's light had shown through the darkness of their minds and touched them deep in their souls. It felt so good, Betty, to be a witness to their awareness of our awesome and powerful Creator who loves us unconditionally forever. Many shared the book with their roommates and even wrote home to family and friends telling them about your book. So, the ripple effect is IN EFFECT! Thank you again.... Lemon Grove, California |

Betty: I want to thank you for the gift of your books. I have for a long time been disconnected from God. I've searched and yearned for God all my life. I am now 30. I had a difficult and traumatic childhood and used to cry when I went to church because I felt I had failed to know, to connect with God. I used to want to sob because of this. By sharing your experiences and doubts, and Tom's, you've helped open my heart, and to begin to have faith. I've lived my life with so much fear controlling me, and I've been selfish, still am in many ways. But now I want to try, keep trying. More than that, I want to know God. Nundah, Australia |

Mrs. Eadie: I became addicted to heroine at age 15, but at 31 I decided I couldn't look at myself in the mirror anymore. I saw you on the Oprah show and you seemed to be talking right to me, and I wasn't high at the time. I remember the peace I felt after hearing what you saw in heaven. One week later I checked myself in at the drug rehab center. I read your book Embraced By The Light and it gave me the hope to straighten my life up. I have now been clean for 19 months and I can look at myself and realize I am a daughter of God, and I am not a bad person anymore. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Fresno, CA |

Betty: Did you find any socks up there? I have a zillion socks without partners and I am convinced that they must be in heaven because they sure disappeared from this earth. Charlotte, NC |

Betty Eadie: I just got finished reading Embraced By The Light, it was the most emotional book I've read in all my life. Your book made me cry. I've never even cried in a movie before, let alone a book. I have this joyful feeling that feels as if it will never leave. I've never had this feeling before. After reading your book, I feel as though I've met you before, I'm sure we have met before in heaven. I'm glad you got to keep Betty Jean and I'm truly sorry for what her adopted parents did. Before I wrote this letter I thought and searched to the bottom of my heart. Your Biggest Fan, P.S. Excuse my handwriting, I'm only ten. Phoenix, AZ |

| Hello, My name is L.M., and I'm 12 years old. My aunt died a few months ago and my family and I were heart broken. When we were at a bookstore we found Embraced By The Light and bought it. I read it first and I was very moved, there are no words to describe how joyous I felt after reading it. In fact, that was probably the first joy I felt ever since she died. Before reading it I had doubts about Heaven, but after reading it I wasn't afraid of Heaven at all and it's because of you. Houston, TX |

Betty, Last year I lost my nine-year-old son to asthma. He was a beautiful child. Books like yours are very comforting for people like myself. I continue to grow in my spiritual path and your book, Awakening Heart, made me want to shout!! I know that everything will be okay... Bakersfield, CA |
