I have to agree with everything you have said here. I have read this book two times now and the change it has made to my life is amazing. The one thing this book did for me, was desire to experience the blessings that are available to all and draw near to the Lord.Īlthough I have great admiration for FAIR and think they do a wonderful job, I too was disappointed in the review that was posted on FAIR. Yes there are false things in the book but if you have an open mind and realize its symbolic, metaphorical, allegorical, and sometimes literal, than you will enjoy this book.

But, hey, they can't speak for the church either, they are independent organization. Not to mention there is false doctrine taught in the fair article. SYMBOLIC! That He himself does not know what the dream means. Spencer does not state its scripture but that its all metaphorically. The article takes packers quote totally out of context, about the millennium being grandchildren AWAY, which is NOT what packer stated. They try to argue no revelation can be given for the church, when the book states its meaning was only for the person who received it. They try to find faults in what the authors interviewee (the person who had the Dream) and make arguments against what was said, BUT it ignore what was written before those same stories that they are not to be taken literally. Since the review was posted, its the worst article I have read by FAIR and they did a lousy job analyzing parts of the book.

My sister in law will be returning it this coming Sunday, and I will most definitely be reading it again. I can tell you that if you take the opportunity to check this out, and use it to absorb more information, that the Spirit may teach you, you will not be disappointed in this work. Having read this book myself, completely, I can say that I was thoroughly blown away, and it gave me so much to ponder and seek for myself.

This is because it was another man's (in the record he is referred to as Spencer) personal experiences that he personally felt commanded to share, anonymously, in published form. The account of things seen and heard and felt are not given from the author's perspective. They give a certain perspective on events leading into the final years up until the Second Coming, as well as fascinating details on the nature of spiritual communication, the role of departed family, the true nature of how to prepare for Zion, and many other things. This book relates a man's first person account of several personal and amazing experiences that came as a result of numerous close calls with death in his life.
