#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - One million copies sold! Dr. Mary
Neal (featured in the Netflix original series Surviving Death) tells
the incredible story of the kayak accident during a South American
adventure that took her to heaven--where she experienced God's peace,
joy, and angels--and back to life again.
In 1999 in the Los Rios region of southern Chile, orthopedic surgeon,
devoted wife, and loving mother Dr. Mary Neal drowned in a kayak
accident. While cascading down a waterfall, her kayak became pinned at
the bottom and she was immediately and completely submerged. Despite the
rescue efforts of her companions, Mary was underwater for too long, and
as a result, died.
To Heaven and Back is Mary's remarkable story of her life's spiritual
journey and what happened as she moved from life to death to eternal
life, and back again. Detailing her feelings and surroundings in heaven,
her communication with angels, and her deep sense of sadness when she
realized it wasn't her time, Mary shares the captivating experience of
her modern-day miracle.
Mary's life has been forever changed by her newfound understanding of
her purpose on earth, her awareness of God, her closer relationship with
Jesus, and her personal spiritual journey suddenly enhanced by a
first-hand experience in heaven. To Heaven and Back will reacquaint
you with the hope, wonder, and promise of heaven, while enriching you
own faith and walk with God.
