Summary: Caution: BIG RED LIGHT AHEAD!
Comment: I began to read this book because it was forwarded by somebody I considered highly credible. In retrospect, I now believe that individual - as well as many who read this, are overtly deceived. If God clothes Angels like men, it could have been mentioned in the scriptures somewhere in the centuries that it covers historically. If there are mysterious escape valves leading from earth to heaven that are accessible to mortals, they could have been mentioned by the prophets, priests and Godly kings and used by them. Jesus might have used these Himself...yet no mention anywhere, not even by the disciples who lived intimately with Him and when He descended into hell and visibly ascended to His Father before a large crowd...no escape valves, no weird tunnels, no transparent steps, no angels in the dress of Jesus day...just the clouds, historically described angelic figures and that's that. Why? I can't answer that. Can you? Why does this "vision" break with tradition including John's transcribed glimpse into eternity future? Until this book did God just fail to keep up with modern times? Or is it possible that eternity past, present and future are unchanging, like the God with whom there is no shadow of turning? No, I don't understand all of this either. None of us do and that is why it is so easy to pry childlike fingers away from that which we do know and tempt us to fall, to fall away from that which held us first...the simple faith we came to because of the all encompassing love of God.
Jesus romancing the woman in this story, I don't care if it is a religious parallel about the church of some sort - it's a clearly detailed, semi-seduction steaming up the windows of the realm of supposed glory. What's that about? Even we mortals know the difference between EROS and AGAPE - then, why doesn't the lord of glory presented in this (sic) "vision?" Furthermore, why is it necessary for Christ to change into an eagle and carry this woman to view a supposedly victimized satan in his painstakingly described vast, bleak and lonely kingdom? What god made a prisoner of this tortured creature? Pray tell, for what reason should we feel remorse for a willful enemy who feels none of his own? Yet here we see satan portrayed pitifully as viewed through the eyes of a Christ who is yearning for the chosen enemy of all that is God? Make no mistake, even the very Elect may be deceived by such insidiously directed attempts of the enemy to worm his way into your sympathies, interrupting your peace with God by creating insidious doubts as to the nature and purpose of God. This book is a confidence destroyer for those of simple faith and traditional hope and embellishes upon scripture as it is written. I regret the day I ever opened the cover.
This book is dangerous in my opinion. It may be very damaging to those who earnestly soul search for God's answers to their most perplexing questions about eternity, themselves and the fullness of God. If you are having trouble discerning what you seek in His Living Word please avoid searching for it from this book, similar modern accounts or from this generations "visions" and visionaries without scrupulous, heart rending prayer first and well balanced, Godly guidance. Many of this generation are striving hard to draw close to God and eternity for comfort in every way imaginable but we've got to stop imagining and letting others imagine it for us and just take God at His word. Hold onto the truth He has given in His Word and don't let ANYONE take it from you!

Summary: The best heavenly/prophetical account I've ever read...
Comment: I've never, ever, in all my life read anything like this book. And I've read everything. Most of these "I saw heaven" books are weird and poorly written. This book, on the other hand, is in a class all its own.
I find Sister Rountree's account to be credible and written with a keen matter-of-fact style. Sister Anna graciously spares us from religious cliche and Bible catch phrases. Instead, she's direct and unapologetic, adding very little personal interjection. She kindly tells us what she saw and experienced and lets us have it as close to first hand as possible without actually being there ourselves.
This masterpiece left me numb for days--literally. There's so much in here to digest. I read it straight through in one day. I'm about to read it for the second time. I'm sure I'll read it a few more times, too.
Folks, there's nothing out there in the same neighborhood as this book. If there is, please email me!

Summary: A Modern day Book of Revalation! A must read!
Comment: Very few people have had a visit to heaven of this magnitude. Anna has passed on to us an oracle of God - this is modern day scripture, a book of revalation in this day and age. Every Christian serious about God must read this book. I have read numerous near-death accounts and heavenly vision books - this is maybe on the top 3 for me.
