"Embraced By the Light" or is it more like.... "Embraced By the Darkness?"

The idea of Hell and judgment are nowhere to be found in Betty Eadie’s bestseller, Embraced By The Light, on the N.Y. Times bestseller list. In November 1973, Eadie allegedly died after undergoing a hysterectomy, and returned five hours later with the secrets of Heaven as revealed by Jesus.

Eadie says that Jesus “never wanted to do or say anything that would offend me” while she visited Heaven.

Indeed, Jesus seems to be relegated to the role of a happy tour guide in Heaven, not the Savior of the world who died on the cross. She certainly wasn't talking to the Jesus described in the Bible. It was "another Jesus" (II Corinthians 11:4).
