In the groundbreaking book, Dr. John Lerma shares his valuable research on pre-death hallucinations from the countless terminally ill patients he lovingly cares for as a doctor and director at The Medical Center of Houston, Texas. Sixteen inspirational stories chronicle children and adults confronting their deaths through the comforting visions of divine beings. By presenting these mysterious visions, synchronicities, and angelic conversations his patients encounter, Dr. Lerma shows how knowledge of death can ease the pain and fear as we prepare to enter into the light.

The mystical experiences described here delve into the creation of the universe, past and future extinctions, dark angels and white angels, selfless suffering and its effect on humanity, free will as the vital ingredient to create on earth and in heaven, and many more incredible revelations. The poignant stories in Into the Light will leave you feeling uplifted in faith, hope, and love.
