Into the Light: Real Life Stories About Angelic Visits, Visions of the Afterlife, and Other Pre-Death Experiences

By John Lerma

Despite our advancements in science and medicine, death remains one of human civilization’s most glorious mysteries. A handful of doctors have written books on phenomena such as near-death experiences, but research and data is scarce on pre-death experiences. Because of this lack of information, Dr. John Lerma has devoted his career to compiling anecdotal and scientific research on pre-death hallucinations from the countless terminally-ill patients he lovingly cares for as a doctor and director at The Medical Center of Houston, Texas.

Now, in the groundbreaking book, Into The Light, Dr. Lerma shares his valuable research and guidance in 16 inspirational stories of children and adults confronting their deaths through the comforting visions of divine beings. By presenting these mysterious visions, synchronicities, and angelic conversations terminally ill patients encounter, Dr. Lerma shows how knowledge of death can ease the pain and fear as we prepare to enter into the light. In this book you will learn: —The exhilarating and calming elements of pre-death experiences. —Healing during the dying process. —The difference between hallucinations and visions. —Self-forgiveness and self-love as the key to a joyous life and a peaceful transition. The mystical experiences described here delve into: the creation of the universe, past and future extinctions, dark angels and white angels, selfless suffering and its effect on humanity, free will as the vital ingredient to create on earth and in heaven, and many more incredible revelations. The poignant stories in Into the Light will leave you feeling uplifted in faith, hope, and love.

Into the LightReal Life Stories About Angelic Visits, Visions of the Afterlife,And Other Pre-Death ExperiencesbyJohn Lerma, M.D. I really enjoyed this 240 page collection of people and their experiences surrounding death and pre-death in all it's many facets. I loved the format and the easy style of this author's honest and kind words. I have found the energy surrounding the passing from one life to another is fraught with many different emotions and this book touches on the subject in a very informative, and non-intrusive way while still bringing much needed wisdom and clarity to those of us who remain. This was a read I had a hard time putting down, because i found myself racing through the incredible poignant story of one hospice patient after the other, crying, laughing and smiling with an inner knowledge that we will all go to a better place. I would recommend this special and miraculous friend to anyone attracted to the glorious realm of light and all the many treasures that await us. Thanks John, for the magnitude of your devotion and your God-given ability to share it with us. Love & Light, Riki Frahmann
