How Death Saved My Life

By Vernon Marshall View Profile
Words almost fail me when I strive to describe this book. It is an inspiring and remarkable book. Denise Linn has become one of the most impressive and inspirational teachers in the world today. She has changed the lives of millions of people and continues to do so. This work is her autobiography and she holds nothing back in describing her many sources of knowledge and understanding. She takes the reader on a journey from her difficult childhood years through some harsh and painful lifetime experiences. She has learnt from her life's events, though, and has been enabled to transform her life into something great.

I was moved by her stories of her abuse as a child, how they made her feel disgusted with herself and ashamed. The account of her mother attempting suicide was powerfully written. The story of her suddenly asking an acquaintance to marry her, which they did the next day, was not only deeply moving but very romantic. Stripping naked under a waterfall on the Hawaiian island of Maui to be declared husband and wife was an incredibly impressive story. She is still married to him incidentally, and his surname, Linn, is a Celtic word for waterfall.

There is so much in this book. I cannot wait to find time to read it again. I shall always go back to it when I need support. It has inspired me to read her other material. Denise Linn is a giant when it comes to human wisdom and this is very, very special. I can recommend it to anyone who wants to get the best out of life.
