Malcolm Out Loud TV Show, broadcast out of Tampa, Florida, interviewed Vassula Ryden, author of
Heaven is Real, But So Is Hell: An Eyewitness Account of What is to Come, during her book tour and that one-hour interviewed has been edited into six short subject based videos based on subject matter. Using images, such as paintings of Jesus Christ and Angels by Vassula Ryden along with video from her personal appearances and Church services, was used to dress up the lively and detailed conversation between Malcolm and Vassula. In preparation for the interview/book signing at his studio in Downtown Tampa, Malcolm read the book and was prepared with a series of probing questions and comments followed by questions from the studio audience.
Each of the vignettes offers a look at the spiritual journey which Vassula has taken since her first encounter with her Guardian Angel Daniel, over 25 years ago, in preparation for the intense education from God that would change her life and that of millions around the world. Heaven is Real is her first book to be released in the United States and, considering the controversial nature of her story, it has done very well, hitting #1 at Barnes & Noble.com prior to the release in mid-March and the book tour.
The book tour continues with her participation in Book Expo America at the Jacob Javits Convention Center from May 30 to June 1 before heading to Chicago for the Printers Row Lit Fest on June 8-9. The videos featured below are part of the Heaven is Real Book Video Playlist created by UniGlobal Media Group, which contains 36 videos of various types at of this writing.

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 speaker and author who is known worldwide.
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; and
• 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.
Ryden lives in Greece with her husband, but she is a frequent traveler, having spoken in 79 countries.
