During her book tour, which began March 20 in New York, Vassula Ryden, author of
Heaven is Real, But So is Hell: An Eyewitness Account of What is to Come, went over 1-Millions Likes on Facebook and 400,000 Talking Abouts. The book tour schedule has doing book signings at Barnes and Noble stores in Missouri, Illinois, Florida and Los Angeles over the next three weeks. Doing radio and TV Shows across the country, Heaven is Real, released nationally on March 13, hit #1 on BarnesAndNoble.com Top during pre-publication sales.
Her engaging style, openness and sincerity have touched millions around the world and has proven an eye opener for media outlets unfamiliar with story and mission as a messenger of spiritual wisdom. Ryden's experiences with the supernatural world began when she was a young child. At that time she didn't know quite what to make of her ability to see visions of those who had died, or dreams about things to come, but in late 1985 she was seized by a vision of God asking her to become a messenger to share important messages for our times.
Since that time she has heard "locutions" from God the Father, Jesus Christ and her guardian angel. She was given visions of Heaven and ell. In the vision of Hell she heard the devil threatening to lead this generation to destruction.
Here are some of the upcoming book signings and events, and below that a series of 10 videos edited from her appearance on James Lowe's syndicated radio show.

About Vassula Ryden:
Vassula Ryden, author of
Heaven is Real But So is Hell: An Eyewitness Account of What is to Come, is a Greek Orthodox Christian mystic with a worldwide following. Born of Greek parents, Ryden grew up in Egypt, until her family moved to Switzerland when she was a teenager. Then in 1985, while she was living in Bangladesh, she had a spiritual encounter that changed her life, as well as many others. Ryden was working on a grocery list when she felt the presence of an angel. "My hand was taken as if by an invisible hand, and I let it go because I felt he wanted me to write something," she says.
At the time of the encounter, she had no relationship with God and hadn't received any religious training. Soon after that encounter, God allowed Ryden to experience a painful purification process. After experiencing this dark and lonely time when she did not hear from God, she made the decision to fully surrender to Him and put God first in her life.
Since then, she has had thousands of similar experiences, transcribing "messages" from God in a different style than her normal handwriting. The messages have been compiled in books, videos and other materials, which are promoted and distributed under the title, 'True Life in God' after Vassula was told by God in 1987, I have chosen you as a blank canvas to fill it up only with My Work which I will name: "True Life in God."
Ryden also has what she calls "interior visions" of heaven and the future and has foreseen three important events, which came to fruition:
The destruction of the World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001;
The Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004;
The fall of Communism in the former Soviet Union.
But such "doomsday" prophecies are not the focus of her ministry. God's messages to Ryden emphasize His love and desire that all people have an intimate relationship with Him. They also stress the need for unity among Christian denominations.
Although she is Greek Orthodox, Ryden has a large Catholic following. She has cordial relations with many Vatican officials and presented a copy of "True Life in God" to Pope Benedict XVI in 2008.
