Synopsis "Time To Believe: A Life and a Near-Death Experience (in English)"
T.J. Owen wrote an extraordinary book about her NDE. Her NDE, although intriguing in its own right, served as a vehicle for profound personal transformation through the ultimate struggle with life and death. Specifically, Time to Believe conveys the human blood-sweat-and tears journey to find God. In the author's case, she was faced with choosing from opposites of being: faith or doubt, control or obedience, love or ego. T.J. Owen could not choose from these dialectics lightly! Indeed, two lives were depending on her choices, hers and her unborn child. As T.J. faced death alone in a hospital room, she became much like Jacob wrestling with an angel in the book of Genesis. Like Jacob, she wrestled with God throughout the night, only to learn the identity of the divine, as well as her own name, after choosing to make the ultimate sacrifice. After prevailing against all odds, T.J. Owen fiery independence was transformed into a fiery servant for God. I highly recommend this book, not only for the white-knuckled gripping testimony, but as a way to bolster the one's own faith in the impossible. In this way, Time to Believe teaches that with God all things are possible. Roy L. Hill Psy.D. (author of Psychology and the Near-Death Experience: Searching for God) T. J. Owen found the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF.org) website during its early days on the web. We are happy she chose to not only submit her NDE account but gave permission to use some of her statements in two books that were published in 2010. (Evidence of the Afterlife: The Science of Near-Death Experiences by Dr. Jeffrey Long and Paul Perry. From Soul to Soulmate: Bridges from Near-Death Experience Wisdom by Jody Long) Her NDE remains on our exceptional list on the website to this day. This is one of the most riveting accounts that we have. In describing her NDE, she takes the reader through the emotional gambit. This book, which now contains this NDE in total has the addition of events of T. J's life before the NDE and events that resulted from the NDE is truly an amazing book.
