A Great Story --Ignore the Critics

Spiritual matters will never be resolved with bickering back and forth on forums. Spiritual matters can only be resolved with the spirit. Our earth is filled with people ranging from spiritually dead to enlightened. This site also seems to have that same range with reviewers--prideful scripture citing, name calling, and cruel accusations. Ms. Fenimore had this experience. It was real. Whether a vision or literal, does not matter. When Moses spoke to God, was he really talking with a burning bush? We are taught truths by means that enable us to understand, but always, our understanding is dependent on where we stand. C.S. Lewis described being in a dark shed and observing a shaft of light penetrating a hole in the wooden door. From were he stood, he could see dust and fine particles floating, swimming, and swirling in the air. What he saw was truth, limited by his perspective and from where he stood. But as he positioned himself up near the hole in the door, a view of the beautiful outdoor world of grass and flowers and trees opened unto him. Interestingly, from both positions he viewed the same light (or truth), but observed different results. Some in this world are content to see the dust and argue there is nothing more. But those that want to see greater truth must align themselves spiritually. The choice is ours. Years ago, my wife saw a talk show where Ms. Fenimore was telling her story. Later that day, my wife told me of Ms. Fenimore's experience. I felt the spirit whisper to me that it was a true experience. I wasn't seeking this revelation. It just came. Then just two weeks ago, my son came home telling me that one of his former friends that had been kicked out of junior high had committed suicide. The rumor turned out to be false, but reminded me of Ms. Fenimore's story heard some ten years earlier. So I googled NDE/suicide and found this book--didn't know it even existed before then. I have since read BTD and once again felt the holy spirit witness to me. I believe it! Whether it's literal or visionary does not matter. The message is the same, and anyone that will humble themselves and spiritually align themselves can also know it's a true message. Others may be content with the specks of dust (truth) but please don't tell me that's all there is. This book opens up a world that we would not have seen without the courage of Ms. Fennimore and her willingness to share.

I am the author

I wrote Beyond the Darkness and would like to let readers be aware that there is a publisher typo that, in my opinion, changes context dramatically. On page 101, it reads, "great" white beard and actually should read that He had a "neat" white beard. There are a few other typos, but this is the one that I feel is important.

We are Many

"Every Man Before He Dies Shall See The Devil. - English Proverb, 1560"...My trip wasn't a near-death experience - I was awake and very much alive - The trip wasn't much better. I walked around with it for quite a few years - with little support system. There are many others who do as well - ostracized and alone. Satanic Warfare can be horrible. I've paralleled quite a bit of what Angie saw and went through. I like Angie's book. I'm glad that she got feedback from Betty Eadie as well. "You Shall Not, and Need Not, Walk Alone".

Good book

I have read this book and I believe it. Anyone else that has posted about suicides going to hell I don't care for your comments, even if they were in the best interest of readers. I don't know where every single suicide goes, and I don't really want firsthand experience. I don't NEED to know. What I DO know is that God cares for every individual on this earth. I know that this woman died. I know that this woman saw what she wrote in this book. I know that she saw God the Father and Jesus the Christ, and that they gave her a second chance in life.I know that the lessons the author teaches in this book are true. I'm glad I bought this book and it has been a blessing for me.Again, I don't know where suicides go, but I know God loves me. He's asked for me to pick up my cross and follow him and thats just what I'm going to do.

Praise for Beyond the Darkness

I read this incredible book in one night. What a page-turner! Aside from being unique because it shows the dark side of the near-death experience, it was also extremely well written. While many books of this genre are interesting or, at least, amusing, most are not finely crafted. Few, if any, are great literature. This book is a pleasant exception. In Beyond the Darkness, Fenimore shares with the reader a very important message AND a surperb piece of story-telling. Readers, not even interested in the near-death phenomenon, will not be able to put this one down, I guarantee it. It's a real grabber and a tear-jerker, too. Please, Angie, write another book. We love your clean, crisp style.
