Doctor Mary Neal, an orthopedic spine surgeon, was kayaking in 1999, hit a waterfall, and was pinned under water without oxygen for 24 minutes. She went to heaven and met Jesus. He said everything would be alright and she went through a life review. She said.”Heaven is absolutely real. It’s not just a state of mind. It is a place where God’s love is so intense and so pure that no one ever wants to go back.” She had every reason to come back – 4 young children. But because of God’s intense pure love, she never wanted to come back. She felt that she was home. Her life-after death experience, not only changed her life, but can be applied daily to others in their lives to create joy, she exclaimed. Her new book is “7 LESSONS FROM HEAVEN: How Dying Taught Me to Live a Joy-Filled Life.” In it she offers offers practical insights and inspiration for how each of us can experience God every day and begin living without regret, worry, anxiety, and fear.
