My Glimpse of Eternity

---

It's also heavily into Biblical references, but also spiritual knowings and messages. I would be interested t The events in this book took place in the 's and early 60's. I would be interested to learn what went on with the rest of her life, since the story ends in the 's. Sep 14, Guna rated it really liked it Shelves: Betty Malz died, and 28 minutes later, came back to life. This is her story, how she coped with the insights she gleaned.

Changes rarely occur all at once, she had to change habits of a lifetime, and in return, was able to live joyously.

There is good reason for this to be a religious classic. I recommend it highly to all people of Christian faith. This was a fabulous book! I've never marked pages that I want to always be able to reference back to, but in this book I have. The whole book is very special to me and I may read it again and again. I was drawn to it in the store and I went home and read the whole thing in at least 5 hours.

I've never done that before! Feb 03, Samantha rated it it was amazing Shelves: Betty died after a long struggle with appendicitis. She saw heaven in all its Glory and returned to this earth to tell about it at the age of 27 and she was never the same again! This also included her full life story. Loved it Loved it I could not put it down. I enjoyed every minute of the story. I will re-read it. This account has brought love and joy into my heart for my life now and great expectancy for the life to come!

Mar 24, Sondra Eklund rated it liked it. Another story of someone who had a glimpse of heaven when she died -- complete with a sheet over her head, but then came back to life, cured. As many others have said, she was overwhelmed by the love of Jesus. I'm so into near death experiences that I can't seem to hear enough about the here after or as I believe it to be heaven. I love hearing about the overwhelming of love and joy that I almost envy their experiences.

Mar 23, Kim rated it did not like it Shelves: A potentially powerful message and story lost in less than spectacular writing and editing. Oct 21, Sheldon Lehman rated it it was ok. Apr 03, Larry Robinson rated it it was amazing. I really loved this book. I would recommend it to everyone! Aug 26, Dianne rated it it was ok Shelves: Set in the 50s and 60s, this is the story of a 27 year old woman who was pronounced dead, had the sheet pulled up over her head, then a short time later came back to life, pushed the sheet off, and told the stunned staff and her family about having been to Heaven.

That part of the story is the main event, but this book is also about how God used that experience to change a proud, difficult person into the woman He had always intended her to be. Aug 05, Chaston Pfingston rated it it was amazing Shelves: This book beautifully attests to the divine wisdom of God and the way He works in our lives. I found the book's pacing appropriate and complimentary to the story that the author hoped to tell, as well as representative of the author's unabashed attitude towards her story. There is no need to elaborate, she seems to say, because this testimony should speak for itself.

Definitely read this book! Great book with scripture to reinforce the truth.

Betty has many battles but speaks of how the Lord directs her through the battles. Sep 07, Carmie Lato rated it did not like it Shelves: I absolutely do not understand how this book got any ratings above 1. Having always been intrigued, perhaps as many of us are, about the after-life and NDE, I was totally misled by the description of the book that states that it's the "amazing account of what the protagonist saw, felt, and heard on the other side of the dividing wall that we call death" and how "she returned to her body--to the amazement of her grieving family and the stunned hospital personnel".

While it's true that she does I absolutely do not understand how this book got any ratings above 1. While it's true that she does describe these things, it's only about two paragraphs long!! The bulk of the book is a recounting of her life and the appendicitis attack that led to her "death"! The actual description of what she saw on the "other side" amounts to a couple of sentences about walking up a hill accompanied by a "person" in robes that she perceived as an angel by her beliefs , of meeting the being she recognizes as "Jesus" again as per her beliefs and a brief description of some pearly gates accompanied by many Catholic Bible verses that cannot be truly appreciated unless one is Catholic!

I not only heard the singing and felt the singing but I joined the singing. I have always had a girl's body, but a low boy's voice. Suddenly I realized I was singing the way I had always wanted to After a while the music softened, then the unseen voices picked up a new chorus. The voices not only burst forth in more than four parts, but they were in different languages. I was awed by the richness and perfect blending of the words - and I could understand them!

I do not know why this was possible except that I was part of a universal experience. While the angel and I walked together I sensed we could go wherever we willed ourselves to go and be there instantly.

Communication between us was through the projection of thoughts. The words sung in all the different languages were understandable, but I don't know how or why. We all seemed to be on some universal wave length. I thought at the time, "I will never forget the melody and these words. The angel stepped forward and put the palm of his hand upon a gate which I had not noticed before. About twelve feet high, the gate was a solid sheet of pearl, with no handles and some lovely scroll work at the top of its Gothic structure.

The pearl was translucent so that I could almost, but not quite, see inside. The atmosphere inside was somehow filtered through. My feeling was of ecstatic joy and anticipation at the thought of going inside. When the angel stepped forward, pressing his palm on the gate, an opening appeared in the center of the pearl panel and slowly widened and deepened as though the translucent material was dissolving.

My Glimpse of Eternity by Betty Malz

Inside I saw what appeared to be a street of golden color with an overlay of glass or water. The yellow light that appeared was dazzling. There is no way to describe it.

I saw no figure, yet I was conscious of a Person. Suddenly I knew that the light was Jesus, the Person was Jesus. I did not have to move. The light was all about me. There seemed to be some heat in it as if I were standing in sunlight; my body began to glow.

Every part of me was absorbing the light. I felt bathed by the rays of a powerful, penetrating, loving energy. The angel looked at me and communicated the thought: I longed with all my being to go inside, yet I hesitated. Did I have a choice? Then I remembered my father's voice. Perhaps I should go and find him.

I started to say something more. But it was too late. The gates slowly melted into one sheet of pearl again and we began walking back down the same beautiful hill. This time the jeweled wall was on my left and the angel walked on my right. Then I saw the sun coming up over the wall. This surprised me since it was already very light and there seemed to be no passing of time. It was a lovely sunrise.

The topaz and other stones glowed brilliantly. I remember noticing that the wall now made a deep shadow on my side. Walking down the hill I looked into Terre Haute as the worlds of spirit and time and space began to fuse back together. Ahead of me were many church steeples glistening in the morning sun. I was suddenly aware of God's love for all His churches. It was a sudden bit of knowledge, as if I were being told this on the inside by the Holy Spirit. At that moment I loved all His churches too; and as my prejudices dissolved, I loved all His people.

Then I saw the tops of trees, then the hospital. My eyes seemed to bore through the walls of the hospital like laser beams, down the hall of the third floor to Room I saw a figure on the bed with a sheet pulled over it. After my descent I slowed down and stopped. The sun's rays were in my eyes. There were dust particles in the light which suddenly changed to wavy letters about two inces high flashing before me like a ticker-tape message.

The letters seemed composed of translucent ivory, only fluid - moving through the rays of the sun. I was back in my hospital bed now and the letters stretched all the way from the window, past my bed and on into the room. I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. The words were so alive that they pulsated. I knew that I had to touch those living words. I reached up and out and pushed the sheet off my face.
