I don't see why she would be intentionally trying to deceive people...


Amie

Believe me, it's the money. She is raking it in like Shirley McLain.

<<<<The story of her detailed near-death experience has been on The New York Times best-seller list all summer, Bantam recently bought paperback rights for $1.5 million>>>>


Get the idea? And that was just the beginning.

Is anyone forced to buy those books? What is she gonna do? Ask people not to buy her books, because you don't like how much money's she's making? You jeallous?

I don't get the idea.

yes I understand thats how you feel. She wrote her experience to share with others. If I wrote my NDE I would not be attempting to deceive anyone. It would be me sharing my subjective experience. People can believe it or not.

I dont think she wrote her story with the intent to get rich, I think she wrote her experience to share it with others.

Infinity

Okay. Have you read any of her books, especially "Embraced by the Light"? Have you visited her web site?

It just happens that my opinion after having done both of the above is that she is a very sucessful snake oil sales woman.

I have never met her personally but my son has. He attended a seminar or something of hers. His opinion is the same as mine. That of course is anecdotal which you may disregard.

If you have not read the book or visited the site please do so and let me know what you think. If you have already done so then I can't think of anymore to say.

Could you be a little more specific? Did you like the book because you found it entertaining? Because you learned something from it, it was intellectually stimulating? Or other reasons?

Have you visited her website yet? She has a lot of great stuff for sale, you might find something you like. Please go there and let me know what you think.

Amie, Infinity:

No reply? Wouldn't have taken you 5 minutes to check her web site and answer me. Good luck in Holland.
