Deana4 Stars Out Of 5Facing DeathJanuary 23, 2020DeanaQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This is certainly not an easy book to read. Unfortunately I could relate to the author in many ways. When you are not protected by your parents it destroys your feeling of safety and trust. The author is very vivid in her descriptions of addiction and mental problems. The hate she had inside of her oozed throughout the book. Her hate for everything overtook her and she started punishing herself. In her mind it was her fault that she was violated by a man. I didn't care too much for the description of the attack and thought it could have been written a bit more respectful.
The details of the authors eating disorder are hard to read but exactly what someone needs to hear. It is a dangerous disease and can cause serious complications. I was happy to read that her parents at one point decided that they were going to help her get better. It seemed like the author was fighting this alone. The voices she was hearing was the enemy whispering lies to her. Her manipulation was a way for her to protect herself. At one point she decides that death is best for her. What a sad state she was in.
The book follows the author through many ups and downs and shows how much of a hold the enemy had on her life. I did think the book could have left some details out and still been effective. I do understand how tormented she was and I desperately wanted her to get help. The first thing she needed to do was admit she needed help. Sometimes we have to go to the depths of hell before we realize how much we need God. That is exactly what the author goes through. At some point she will face death head on and need to call out for God to rescue her.
I can't say for sure if the author was taken to hell or if it was an out of body experience. It is very graphic and pretty much scared me. I never want to go to wherever the author went. The author does make a good point of saying that God looks at the heart. He can see the ugliness inside us and there is no where to hide anything. Hatred is something that turns your heart into stone and will try to destroy anything in its path.
The book is a powerful testimony of a woman who faces the enemy and the chaos she goes through to find peace. Through everything she went through it can be said with confidence that God never left her. He forgives each of us and wants us to be set free from the lies of the enemy.
I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.

debsMaineAge: 35-44Gender: female3 Stars Out Of 5Climbing into Eternity ~ Michele PulfordFebruary 4, 2020debsMaineAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 3Value: 3Meets Expectations: 2This is a true story or how Michele Pulford went to hell and heaven. Michele tells of her deep secrets of suffering from an eating disorder, no family support, attempted rape and so much more. Her story goes into details of her trials and tribulation and then found GOD and her faith. Through her journey she believes satan's lies and goes down the dark trail of evil and sadness. Then one day she believes GOD word and finds her way to heaven and dealing with all the bad in life.
I would recommend this book to those that can handle a very deep read. This book is hard to read about what she went through and she doesn't hold back. This book should only be read by a mature person, it contains graphic and alot of hate in the details. This book is hard to believe that a person can actually go through everything written in this book, but people have and still are dealing with these issues. The cover is very dark and if I saw this in a store I would not have picked it up. However, the cover does say alot about what is in the book. This book is for a certain reader that can handle very deep issues and situations.

nkwbookreviewer3 Stars Out Of 5Perplexing StoryJanuary 28, 2020nkwbookreviewerQuality: 3Value: 3Meets Expectations: 3This is an unusual story. The author claims to have died twice.The first time she went to Hell and years later she went to Heaven. Obviously she returned to her human body both times.
I am unsure how to review this book. My beliefs and what I have been taught are that when you are unsaved and die, that is the end. You have no chance of redemption after that and cannot go to Heaven. The author tells a very different story.
The God-glorifying and inspirational parts of the book are wonderful. The author has listed many things that are worthy of repeating. She stresses that we should always praise and thank God despite what our circumstances might be. God wants to heal us of all the addictions we suffer from and will help us receive freedom when we truly ask for His help. She reminds us of Gods everlasting love, patience, and kindness.
This book is a perplexing one for me. I found so much good in it, but I had so many questions on it. Honestly I am not equipped to answer them. Maybe only Jesus is. If you want to read this book I would suggest you do it prayerfully. A few things did not seem right to me in my soul, but this was not my experience. I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit but these are my own, honest words.
