My Sweet Encounter with Death
I met a very interesting woman yesterday through a mutual friend. Her name is Ana Christina (pen name). She is from Egypt and her entire family is Coptic Christians. Although she grew up in a very loving Christian home and was very successful in her professional life, she was the unfortunate victim of two men (her first husband who was a narcissist) and her second (who was a sociopath) who secretly poisoned her for weeks until panicking and giving her a extra big dose before she was scheduled to leave the country to visit family in order to collect on her life insurance.
What these two men did to this loving, gentle woman was beyond despicable. What made it all the more poignant for me was the fact that one of my best friends is going through almost the exact same thing with her (soon to be ex) narcissist husband who had her wrongfully arrested and thrown into jail for 2 days on false charges.
The Holy Spirit prepared Ana spiritually for what she was about to go through in the moments preceding her death. She lay helpless, completely paralyzed in bed from the poison he had given her but in God’s peace while her husband succeeded in smothering her to death. She went to heaven, saw Jesus and has related her experience in her recent book, “My Sweet Encounter with Death”.
Her book is very short, it can be easily read in an hour but is very impactful and helpful to those who are struggling with forgiving people in their own lives who have done them wrong. Here is my review of her book:
I love reading stories like this because my own spiritual walk is so "un-supernatural". Reading stories like this, I get to live vicariously through the authors. What I was most struck by was the similarities between Ana's story and that of a close friend of mine who is now going through the same things Ana did with her first husband who was a narcissist.
I also very much appreciated how the author prefaced her story with the fact that she was just "an ordinary person"; no one special; which I can very much relate to and yet her story is so amazing!! Ana is very relate-able and my heart just hurt for all that she has been though and was gratified to see her supernaturally comforted and rescued by our Lord and Savior.
I had the privilege to meet this dear sweet woman in person and am looking forward to speaking more with her one on one and to learn where the Lord is leading her now in these last days.
If you don't have much time to read but love to read about real experiences with the Lord and heaven, this books is a must read. Very encouraging and uplifting! FIVE STARS!
If you love reading about true life after death experiences, this book is for you!

Ever since I was a kid writing Steve Austin (Six Million Dollar Man) short stories with my best friend Lisa, I dreamt of having a book published but I never had the “big idea” until I was about 22 years old. I was listening to Amy Grant’s latest album “Fathers Eyes” and in particular to her song entitled “Fairytale” when a particular verse caught my attention: “…two princes wages the battle for eternity but The Victor has been known from the start…
Being a J.R.R. Tolkien fan, an image popped into my head: Jesus in a suit of shining armor and Satan in a suit of black armor crossing swords over “the bride”. At the time I was working as a receptionist at an ammunition factory and not always busy so to fill my time and entertain myself I would write my story on the state-of-the-art in technology back then; an IBM Selectric typewriter. My co-workers could hardly wait for each page to come out and really seemed to like it. I typed for what seemed months, rewriting ...more
