Summary

When a woman’s near-death experience results in her meeting Jesus, it contradicts her beliefs about God, the afterlife, and life on Earth. The encounter changes her forever and brings with it an unexpected surprise.

"This must be it then. This is how I die." Maria tries to outrun the tree hurtling towards her, but the rough terrain makes it impossible to escape. On 24 November 2017, Maria dies in a horrific accident while working with her husband on their farm in Queensland, Australia.

A devout Christian all her life, 58-year old Maria expects to meet Jesus as she dies, but her ongoing encounters with him do not match anything she has read or heard. Over the following few weeks, Maria defies every medical prediction as the near-death experience forever change her, her family, friends, and those who hear the story.

In this moving and inspirational testimony, Maria shares how God’s love and joy overwhelmed her, healed her past and brought new freedom in her relationship with him and others.

If you would like to understand more of the afterlife, spiritual dimensions, what is available to you right now and how it impacts your life on Earth, this book is for you.
