About this listen
As her body lay dying, her spirit began to travel.
A Second Chance at Heaven is an unforgettable account of one young woman’s encounter with the Lord of Life.
- A visceral account of one woman’s journey to hell and back
- An ideal resource for parents looking to help a teen struggling with depression and suicide
- Supernatural experience perfect for fans of Heaven is for Real and 90 Minutes in Heaven
As a troubled teenager, Tamara Laroux just wants the pain to go away. Crying out to God for forgiveness, she makes the heart-wrenching decision to end her life. As she plummets from her body to a place of vast darkness, torment, and agony, Tamara instantly realizes the finality of her rash decision and begs God to save her.
A Second Chance at Heaven is a remarkable memoir of the afterlife that will challenge each of us to ponder the reality of heaven and hell. Her supernatural experience to hell and back convinces Tamara that the only knowledge that matters in this life is that Jesus is real.

Story
In 1978, Ivan Tuttle was living a carefree life, going from one party to the next, from one high to another — when his fun, free life was interrupted by a pain in his leg. Doctors told him he had a dangerous blood clot in his leg — but Ivan didn’t pay much attention to that. He was 26 and felt fine; blood clots were a problem for his grandfather, not him. Until the clock ran out.

From a challenge of faith to a means of transformation: Did God really say you couldn't eat from any tree in the garden? This seed of doubt planted so long ago bears the fruit of fear on some level every day - the idea that our actions could ruin something beautiful and God might not have control over things. In What Women Fear, acclaimed writer and speaker Angie Smith admits, "Fear is a major part of my testimony," as she talks openly about significant struggles she has experienced. Giving a voice to the problem, she says, "I truly believe every single one of us struggles with some type of fear...."

It's not what I lost. It's what I've found. I was only 17, just a girl, when God asked me for everything I had...my health, my hopes, my independence, my dreams, my freedom, and my mobility. He took it all. I was so angry with him that I tried to push him away. God relentlessly held me more closely. Looking back, 40 years later, I understand that God has changed and healed me - my heart and my mind - in the most unexpected ways, giving me rubies of his wisdom about an unbending faith and an experience of his mercy I can now tell you about.

Great Book on the ultimate 2nd chance.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Tamara gets raw, real, as bravely shares her life with us. Her experience with Heaven and hell is riveting, chilling, and glorious. God is amazing and what Tamara experienced is an absolute testimony of His love and the gift of a 2nd chance. I am confident you'll enjoy this book and the real-life miracles it contains. Bravo Tamara Laroux and glory be to God.

Best I’ve read on this Subject.
Tamara’s out of body experience chilled me to the bone as a lot of these accounts do, what I really enjoyed was listening to her trials and tests after she recovered. She treats matters with understanding and compassion.
