“Mary Neal is the sort of friend – and doctor – we all want to have. Compassionate, kind, thorough, knowledgeable, healing in the best sense of the word. In her newest book she calls on all of those gifts to explain the unexplainable and show how the heavenly impacts earth.” – Rick Hamlin, executive editor, Guideposts magazine and author of Pray for Me"One of the most important questions we can ask ourselves in this earthly lifetime is whether or not we believe in God. Through sharing her personal experience and exceptional insight in 7 Lessons, Dr. Mary Neal paints a beautiful picture of heaven and has outlines a perfect path for us to follow on our quest for knowing our loving, personal, trustworthy God. I hope when you finish these pages, when you are asked if you believe in angels or God, you can firmly say, with absolute trust, "I Do!" – Deanne Breedlove“I love the way Mary so winsomely and beautifully describes the relationship we can and were created to have with God. The statement, “one man’s experience trumps another man’s opinion,” is very applicable to Mary’s life and the content of this book. She shares with passion and conviction what she has personally experienced so that we might embrace the truth and promise of it all. This is a must read!” –Terry Meeuwsen, Co-host of The700 Club“Are there any questions more important than what happens when we die or whether God is real? Mary Neal’s wonderfully clear but utterly extraordinary explanation of her experience is itself a gift from heaven to all of us. I am absolutely thrilled we have it and recommend it highly.” –Eric Metaxas, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of Miracles: What They Are, Why They Happen, and How They Can Change Your Life and host of the nationally syndicated Eric Metaxas Show “You must read this book. The new details of Mary Neal’s encounter with God are glorious, the collection of near death experiences through history is compelling, and the evidence for God is overwhelming. But best is Mary’s recipe for personal joy through trust in God.”–Douglas Ell, author of Counting to God"In 7 Lessons from Heaven, Dr. Mary Neal shares more about her inspiring near death experience and God’s profound love for us. Her powerful testimony and the practical advice she gives on accepting God’s love, forgiveness, and trusting Him completely is life-changing and should not be missed." –Immaculee Ilibagiza, best-selling author of Left to Tell and Led by Faith“Having spent time with Dr. Mary Neal, I appreciate that this disciplined, analytical surgeon put her own near-death experience to the test while remaining committed to scripture. If you want practical ways to bring more of Heaven into your life today, Dr. Neal shows how.” –John Burke, pastor and author of New York Times bestseller Imagine Heaven"Dr. Mary Neal is a fine, caring physician who took a profound journey into the next life when she died. Near death experiences have now entered into the consciousness of the medical profession, and Dr. Neal’s astonishing book shares a wealth of practical and inspiring spiritual lessons gained from her journey to the other side. This is truly a delightful and extraordinary book." –Raymond Moody, MD, author of Reflections on Life After Life, (Harrisburg, PA: Stackpole Books, 1977) Mary C.

In this inspired follow-up to her million-copy bestseller, To Heaven and Back, Dr. Mary Neal shares untold stories about her encounters with Jesus and powerful insights about how the reality of heaven can make each day magnificent.
Dr. Mary Neal's unforgettable account of a 1999 kayaking accident that took her life, and what happened next, has riveted more than a million readers. But something happened as she shared her story in the years since. Not only did Neal realize she had more to tell, she discovered she had yet to answer the biggest question of all: How does knowing heaven is real change our lives on Earth?
"I have never finished speaking at a venue, including corporate settings, without people wanting to know more," says Dr. Neal. In 7 Lessons From Heaven, Neal takes readers deeper into her experience, which includes encounters with angels, a journey to a "city of light," and what it was like to meet Jesus face-to-face. Even more, Neal shares how she was sent back with the absolute knowledge that the God we hope for—the one who knows us, loves each of us as though we are the only one, and wants us to experience joy in our daily life—is real and present. She offers practical insights and inspiration for how each of us can experience this God every day and begin living without regret, worry, anxiety, or fear.
Hope Eternity affirming and encouraging for all of us who have suffered untimely loss of a loved one. Hope for all of us. Every word spoke to my broken mother's heart. I'm especially grateful for the passages concerning drowning. It eases my pain to know that drowning isn't the horrible experience we imagine and that we are never alone. Thank you Mary Neal, for being brave enough to share your experiences with us.Remarkable As I was watching the news, I caught a brief snippet about the author and her story which, thanks to God, captured my attention. I have since read both her books and have taken her lessons to heart. No reason to read both books......stick with the 7 Lessons. Have many of my family and friends reading the Lessons. If u are looking for an opportunity to "find God", highly recommend u begin with the 7 Lessons.How much evidence do YOU need? I am a person who struggles with her faith, so I was interested to read this book by Dr. Mary C. Neal, an orthopedic spinal surgeon who lives in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Dr. Neal drowned in a kayaking accident in 1999, but was miraculously brought back to life. She truly believes she went to heaven and met Jesus. She first wrote a book about her experience in 2012, “To Heaven and Back.” As time passed, Dr. Neal felt compelled to share more, including the question asked to her by many: How does knowing heaven is real change our lives on Earth? She answered this question among others in this follow-up book, “Seven Lessons from Heaven: How Dying Taught Me to Live a Joy-Filled Life.”NOTE: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS “SPOILERS”.Seven Lessons from Heaven has two main parts. Part One, which is approximately two-thirds of the book, shares the doctor’s story of drowning, meeting Jesus, and returning to her Earthly body. Throughout these chapters, she shares seven lessons (“life-altering insights”) that she brought back from heaven. They are explained in detail throughout the chapters, and she summarizes them as this:1. Circumstances are seen differently through the lens of heaven.2. Death is not the end.3. God is love, and forgiveness sets us free.4. Heaven is real and grace abounds.5. God wants us to be seen and shows His presence in our world through miracles.6. God has a plan for us that is one of hope, purpose and beauty.7. In God’s time, beauty blossoms in all things.In Part Two, Dr. Neal shares a “practical and life-tested way to live differently with the beautiful truths of heaven in mind”. She calls this living with “absolute trust”. She guides us through the stages of hope, faith, then ultimately, absolute trust. This is done by doing the following:1. Look beyond: Form a hypothesis with an open heart by asking ourselves all sorts of questions.2. Look around: Gather “evidence” from people and the world around us.3. Look within: Write out a chronology of our life, then look for signs of God in our story.4. Form a conclusion: Reevaluate our hypothesis and make a choice.These four steps are described in detail in Part Two. They take considerable time, thought and soul-searching on our part. When completed, hopefully the person will have absolute trust. I must confess, I was not ready to tackle this assignment myself at the present time, but I may do so eventually.There will be believers of this book, as there will be doubters. Some people may believe this was simply a dream, some will think Dr. Neal is lying, and some will have no doubt she had conversations with Jesus. Everyone is on a unique journey, so no two people will respond the same. As is asked in the book: How much evidence do YOU need? As for whether or not I believe that Dr. Neal went to heaven and back, I honestly do not know. However, I believe that she believes she did, and she feels compelled to share her story. Therefore, I wanted to read it to see what she had to say.I found the book to be an intriguing read. I especially enjoyed the stories the doctor shared of others who had similar stories/miracles. Although it was interesting, I felt at times the story could have been more condensed. Would recommend, especially to those who are struggling with their own faith journey.
