Josie Varga is a woman of impeccable character who has devoted many years to the study of nonphysical reality and its critical role in the expansion of consciousness and the power of belief in the unseen. What you will hear from her is not conjecture but the result of study and dedication to better the human condition; in short, to use a well-worn phrase, you can take it to the bank. In this book, as was so expertly accomplished in Visits from Heaven, she clearly shows that love lives on, that these extraordinary encounters happen for a purpose, and that scientific materialism does not have all the answers. She now presents a whole new set of experiences from a different perspective.

What jumps from the pages of Visits to Heaven is the irrefutable evidence that near-death experiences (a euphemism, since these growth-producing experiences happen in instances other than when one thinks death is near) heavily influence healing through love and caring relationships. How does this occur? The answer is simply that the conviction naturally surfaces that there must be something after death, an afterlife in which loved ones are reunited and come to realize that earthly life is but a prelude to a much more significant existence.

Over and over again in the stories you will read, those, who are gifted with the extraordinary, return with an altogether different view of life and death. This is due to the impact the experience has on their inner lives. Consider this: several years ago I interviewed the late Dr. Barbara Rommer, an internist, who had conducted considerable research on NDEs, had written about them, and who had had a “visit” from her husband who preceded her in death. I asked if these things influenced her belief about an afterlife. Her response: “I grieved differently. I even did his eulogy. I could do that because I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the only thing that died was his physical body. I will see him again. I know, not believe.” Notice the emphasis on the word know. It was her emphasis, not mine. This comes from a woman trained in the scientific method.

No one can truly understand the impact of these encounters unless he or she is fortunate to be given the experience. Furthermore, you will discover the impact of the experiences on those reporting them and equally important the messages they have for all who read and believe.

Varga, once again, presents not only life-inspiring accounts, generally unknown to the general public, but makes it clear that there must be a power greater than the self which is brimming with love for all humanity. If you want to learn about another way in which love operates in our world, if you want to read one of the most impressive collections of stories about NDEs ever assembled, this is the book you will not be able to put down and will long remember.

Once more, you will be convinced that those in another existence are very much aware of what survivors have to deal with in adapting to the absence of a loved one, that no one grieves alone, and that our deceased loved ones are very much aware of the painful new routines that must be initiated by survivors.

This is a book to read and reread–in short, to study. Why? Because the information presented is profound, filled with insights to change the quality of life, and is deeply thought provoking. If you value an approach to the spiritual side of life, you have found it.
