To Heaven and Back by Mary C. Neal, M.D. Book Summary

#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.

Reading this book was a blessing. Thank you

Loved this book. Do yourself a favor. Download this books sample. Read this book. Be good to your self ❤️

Excellent, inspiring read!. Doubt heaven? This is your next read! I too experienced a near death trip to heaven and from this book and other near death stories, my faith is only built more. Yours will be too! There are so many similar reports in all visits to heaven that it can not be just a coincidence!

Great read. Very moving

Wonderful book. Really enjoyed the book and the trails she overcame and all of us with our trails will have to overcome. Heaven is our true home and her experience has moved me closer to it.

Amazing. The Lord is good! A faith building account!

As a Christian and a former hospice nurse, this book inspired and encouraged. Mary Ann. As a nurse, I witnessed so many faith-affirming incidents, and this book resonates with truth and inspiration. In my own family, I saw God and the Angels at work as relatives passed from this world to the next. As for giving too many medical details and other personal information, they serve to round out the story of a very interesting, vulnerable human being who doesn't have all the answers, but a wonderful perspective from her life. I read this several years ago, and plan to read it again. I have already recommended it to family and friends.

My near death experience!. I too had a near death experience in a white water incident on the Arkansas river in Colorado. My daughter and I nearly drowned together under a rock known as "The Pinball". I find Dr. Neal's book to be inspirational and truthful. I'm a commercial pilot and often fly into JAC. I would love to meet these very inspirational people! I hope that theirlife is filled with God"'s Blessings

Peace, Faith and Love from these words. I'm truly grateful for letting this beautiful true story found me in God's miracles ways... Thank you for your writing your testimonial and experience with God. I'm grieving the lose of my dear friend and loving mom (63 years old) who left me when I just started my motherhood journey. This book gave me hope, love and brought me back to my faith in God and the angels who have been around me. Also gave me the opportunity to believe that my mother is with me, watching me become the mother for little Sofia. Thank you for your spirituality and for your openness to share your heart and soul. God bless you! I'm recommending the book to my friends. I have received the grace from your book to build my peace, faith and love! Tatiana Schrader

To Heaven and Back. This book was a miraculous story of a woman's life. I was completely taken by her experiences and some suggestions she had for us. It took the fear out of death if I had any left and was pleased that alot of her beliefs parallel my own. Some of my experiences if loss were similar also. I would highly recommend this book. It will leave you with a much more positive outlook no matter what your beliefs or present conditions are. Thank you Dr. Neal for writing this book and sharing it all with us.

To Heaven and Back. In the world press filled with corporate and political suspicion, violence,wars etc. we find faith, hope and love In this book. We are encouraged to make a difference in the world with our lives. How refreshing. Robert Ruggiano

Praise God. Thanks to Dr Neal for sharing and helping others w/ their own faith. I'm a nurse and it is refreshing to hear an MD w/such a profound faith and Gods love and mercy in her life. She can share His compassion w all the people in her path during their vulnerable times when they need that hope.

To heaven and back. Awesome! I learned so much

A must read. This was an outstanding on your seat and can not wait to get to the next page, A very very great book, a must read for Christiaan and non. I recently moved to Utah and about 9 months ago and when I Was 9 years old, I had similar experiences, I hope to meet Dr Mary one day! Enjoy your reading, faith and travels, no mater what God has your destiny and life. Trust him:)

Astonishing. What a beautiful book. Really shows how God works in mysterious ways. Gave me so much comfort and ease knowing we really are loved and God does have a plan for each of us.

Inspirational. This book has touched my heart and soul. To be able to share stories of trials and tribulations alongside moments of hope and success inspire me to do great things. Thank you, Dr. Neal.

Review. Mary Neal's experiences changed my way of thinking and as I rebuild my relationship with God it has given me renewed strength to "pray with every breath".

Life after near death. If your looking to read a book about ones life before, during and after what life has to offer for this doctor... Then this is the book. After the loss of a very close friend I guess I'm trying to see through the thoughts of others - that have come back to tell there story.

To Heaven and Back. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Reading our book was an inspiration at a time when I am feeling desolate and hopeless. I believe this was God's way of telling me He is in control of my life too and all I need to do is trust in Him.

Uplifting and Inspirational. I bought this book because I am facing death, and while I believed in all she wrote before, it is comforting to be reminded of Gods love and grace when facing it. As promised, we all have Gods love. We only have to believe and except it with open heart.

Frank. This book was written with such grace. Thank you for inspiring me to be a better person. We are all children of God. We should all be compassionate towards one another. This book will hopefully lead me to be a more compassionate person and a more faithful person. Thank you again and may God continue to bless you and your family.

To Heaven & Back. Enjoyed the story. She definitely is a miracle and God has blessed her and now she can tell her story.

To heaven and back. How true, how true. A fast read and captivating. The author affirms what many have experienced.

Quick inspirational tear jerking read. A friend of mine had recommended this book and I finally read it. I started at 4:30 am and finished with my tear streaked face and wet pillow at 7:30 am. It was a fast great read. She does a wonderful job of sprinkling bible verses throughout the story that help bring the verses to life. It is a very personal heartfelt story that is worthy of your time. She gives a great reminder that there is no such thing as a coincidences. The loss of her son and the struggle to regain themselves from the depths of despair is a helpful road map for anyone suffering from the staggering loss of a child.

Love it!. Thanks so much for sharing! We need to know. God bless you and your family.

To Heaven and Back. Great book! Confirms my belief that God has a plan for for us all. Believe and trust in Him and enjoy the ride!

I really enjoyed this book. I really enjoyed this book. I do believe that she did Actually die, and did see part of Heaven. Although the part where she went to heaven is just a chapter or so long. I really enjoyed how inspirational the rest of the book was. It was good reading and I'm going to have my wife read it.

A very "real" author!. I have read many books and heard many accounts of people going to and for from heaven. The difference with this one is she shares in detail the personal struggles she felt emotionally as she walked out life after her accident. The way she writes causes me to realize that no matter how great the encounter we have with the Father, Jesus and Heaven we still have to walk out our journey while on this earth. Life is fraught with highs and lows. Obtaining that knowing of Gods love for us, His plan and purpose requires diligence and purposeful faith. I'm very thankful for this real account of her journey.

To Heaven and Back. Excellent book! I will recommend this to every person I know. What an inspiration this woman is and her spiritual experiences are comforting to say the least. It's a MUST READ.

Rating To Heaven and Back. Inspiring - jus what I needed. Thank you Mary - God Bless.

Wonderful!. This is a wonderful book that everyone should read. I found it hard to put down. On June 3, 1969, God revealed to me that Jesus is His Son. For months that was all I talked about. I recently wrote an e-book titled “He’s Here” and described the events in my life much as Dr Neal did. In her book she wrote that there are no words to describe true spiritual events in our lives and I agree with her one hundred percent. This would be a better world if everyone would read her book! Dave Fisher, Jr.

To heaven and back. A most uplifting book. I could hardly put it down. Even the sad parts are uplifting as the promise of the afterlife gladdens the heart. Thanks dr Neal for a wonderful book!

Excellent Read!. I found this book to be an excellent read. It kept me interested through the whole book. I highly recommend this. Thank you Mary, for finally starting and finishing your book.

Heaven. This is a wonderful book to read. I have learned a great deal. I also recognize that I have a personal relationship with Jesus. That he truly loves us just we're we are at in this life. My own adopted mother experience this in her own life when she was 13 years old herself. She died and went to heaven, she did not want to come to back to this world. However, God told her, that her life was not finish down here on earth. He wanted her to experience this so she could tell others that there is such a thing as heaven and God. Back here on her return to earth she was sadden because of the present of the Lord she experienced. She told me of her story and I believe it was truely for me. To let me know are spirit is doesn't stay with our bodies in the ground but goes to heaven if we choose that ourselves. I have done some bad things. I have a hard time forgiven myself because of what I have done. I know Jesus has forgiven me. I know his love. I just have a hard time forgiven myself. I'm harder on myself then I am on other people. If someone did or said things to me or about me or did something to me, I can for give them and love them. Never to bring that person any shame or guilt. However, when it comes to me it's so much harder. I wish I could die for my own sins instead of Jesus. That's where I feel guilty is because he gave his life for me and anyone that sins. I'm grateful that Jesus died for our sins because I don't know if we were really face to die for our own sins, how many of us would really do that. I'm feel guilty for a man that never sinned had to died for me. Therefore, I know I needed Jesus in my heart, otherwise his death was in vain. I love Jesus. I'm not perfect and people who know me knows I'm so far from perfect. But yet I love the Lord Jesus. I wish on this earth we could love and forgive and forget the sin of that thing that person did to us. That would be the only thing I would change if I was God. That humans could forgive and love that person and wouldn't be able to remmber the sin or hurt that other person caused from the conflict. That all of us would be able to love, the greatest of all is love. That would be the only thing I wish God would have done, was erased the memory of that sin or hurt from our minds that we could never remember that conflict from that other person or what the conflict we caused to others by our own sins. When we forgave them or they forgave us. We could forgive ourselves also. It would be gone from our memory forever to be forgotten. Amen By Melissa Ann (Clish) Storm

To heaven and back. Inspiring and comforting. Bringing hope, love and joy to my soul. Thank you Mary for sharing your story.

Inspirational. Dr Neal's story is truly one of insight and inspiration. Beautifully written and easy to understand. I recommend this book to everyone to read. I have read many books on this subject to try and understand God's plan for each of us. This book is my favorite!

Uplifting and hopeful. Allows readers to focus on the light of the world and not to despair

To Heaven and Back. I believe The Lord led me to this book! I happen to catch Fox News where I saw Dr. Neal speak about her book one morning on TV! I too have lost my son a year and a half ago! Her description of heaven, the joy and love that is there has given me the assurance that my son is truly where he needed to be! I have bought so many other books trying to find something to ease my pain and this book was a gift from God to me! My faith in God's truths and my belief that I will see my son again in the presence of my Holy Father is what gets me through each day! This book confirmed all of my beliefs and hopes! Thank you Dr. Neal for writing this book and sharing your experience with all of us. I am one believer who will be ever grateful that you did! God bless you and your family.

Good story. This was a good book with good messages..However, it is more about her whole entire life and experienes that has led her to her current faith rather than a lot of details of her death, during her death, and coming back. Not that that is bad, just not what was expected based on the title...good story. Thanks for sharing.

To Heaven and Back. It was a GREAT book I do not read often but I finished this in two days. I do believe in some people facing the after life and coming back. They are indeed a SPECIAL family I'm sorry they had to loose Willie but they dealt with everything amazingly well even though it was also life altering.

To Heaven and Back. I found this read to be inspirational read. I would recommend anyone seeking a closer walk with God to read this book.

Inspiration, uplifting. I recently just lost my granny in 10/23/12 and my daddy on 12/03/12. This book gives me hope. I am now holding onto my faith more than ever.

A book to share. Dr. Neal, This book was so very good and answered questions I've had about heaven, God & Jesus. I truly believe you were in heaven and I can see why you really wanted to stay. I am not as afraid to die as I've been in the past. I thank you for relieving that concern. I plan to give a friend of mine a copy of your book. He is dying of lung and brain cancer and is on hospice now. He is a WONDERFUL CHRISTIAN MAN and a lay pastor. I know he will enjoy your book and will get a glimpse of what he has to look forward to in heaven. Thank you so much for being obedient to the Lord. I'm sure you've touched many lives in your telling of it. I know you've touched mine. May god continue to BLESS YOU. Sincerely, Marcia Bowers, Lisbon,IA

Inspiringly. This was one of the most spiritual and inspiring books that I have ever read. I would recommend this to anyone who may have doubts of God and the afterlife's existence. I had a hard time putting this book aside once I started reading it. .

Loved to read your book. Well ..... So many things to say, but what matters is that God has used you... YES! The book was more than I expected. I will hold on to the promises of God for ALL of my things. I have 3 children ( well not really children , 32, 30, 27) . They do not know God because I was not serving God when they grew up. I will rejoice in The Lord , pray without ceasing, and thank Him for what He will do with my children even if I did not know Him then ( like I do now) God will deal with my mistakes because He Loves us SO much. I am a pharmacist so as a scientist I have believed your story because you have lived it. I can understand because even though I have not experienced a near-death experience , in my new born experience conversion The Lord let me feel His Agape Love and it changed my Life forever . God bless you Dr. Neal Keep sharing your story, America Garcia ( Yolly)

Remarkable Story. This story would shake even the strongest believers faith. Very eventful but The Lord promises to be there for us. A story about a surgeon who went To Heaven and Back. She had a Near Death Experience that changed her and her families life. The book is by Mary C. Neal, M.D. Proceeds of the book go to non profit groups.

To heaven and back. Captivating! Tears of joy! She touched me. Thanks for sharing this experience.

To Heaven and Back. Loved the book. Unfortunately, I decided to buy it on my iPad and there were, what looks like, 4 pages missing. I don't know if this was the case for everyone purchasing on line. Would definitely recommend it to friends and family. But to purchase the book at the store not on line.

This took touched my soul.. I'm on my third battle with ovarian cancer. I'm 47 years young and am expecting a full healing. Although I'm not afraid of death I too don't look forward to leaving my children. This book gave me a deeper insight into heaven and excited me about my destiny .... Whether it be full physical healing or transformed into glory. Praise you my heavenly Father for your power and mercy. Thank you for writing your story. I need to write mine very soon.

Five stars. Amazing. Definitely recommend to everyone.

Loved it!. Very good book. Would definitely recommend it!

Great read.. Wow, God is good. This book has been great in that it has helped me to reflect on His love and care for me in my own life through various struggles I've been through. A great book to help us re-arrange our priorities and help shift us toward an eternal perspective and what really matters in life.

Awesome. I really enjoyed this book from the first page to the last. I agree we are here to learn lessons and have our own journeys. I highly recommend this book
