I really wish I wasn't the first to write a review for this tour because I didn't like this book at all. She repeated things, that she had already said and there were things that she contradicted herself on. One such contradiction was that her visions weren’t scary or odd but that they left her shaken and etc.
I thought she talked about Near Heaven more than Heaven itself. She talked about Cherubs which are angels as being bird like and talked about seeing a half goat and a half man and it being evil and wanting to hurt her. Is there even a Near Heaven?
Yes, she shared about being with Jesus while in the hospital in a coma and etc.
She talked about being with Jesus and praying for Him when He was being tempted by Satan,and this was as child.
She does start each chapter with a Bible verse.
This book is one that I will not be sharing with anyone rather than this review! I just felt there were things that is unBiblical, but that is my opinion and you will have to decide for yourself.
I did agreed with what she writes on pages 138-139.
These are my own opinions and I was given a contemporary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit.

More from Kathy
Many times as I sat down at my keyboard to work on this book, I have been encouraged by Holy Spirit to count my blessings.
Has anyone reminded you to count your blessings? If so, when you examine the numerous ways you’ve been blessed and begin to list the numerous blessings in your life, do you feel eternally grateful?
It’s part of our humanity that we tend to lose sight of those blessings while dealing with our day-to-day cares. Yet when we stop to think about how many good things are steadfast in our life, outside of the setbacks, gratitude washes over us.
I believe I was encouraged to look at my blessings as a means for me to overcome my obstacles. Healing from my physical ailments has been time consuming and difficult.
Yet, when I look at my blessings…
Like you, I have been blessed in a multitude of ways. Recently I have been blessed even more so. A large part of that blessing was my being allowed to remain alive and still walking God’s green Earth. An even bigger blessing was the amount of time I was granted to spend in Near-Heaven, which is a setting running immediately beside Heaven, and the glimpses I was permitted of Heaven itself.
Not everyone has such amazing opportunities, and even fewer have the chance to tell about it afterward. Please allow me to share my story with you.
