SACRAMENTO, Calif., March 27, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- In her new book, "Castle In The Sky: A Memoir of the Morning," Author, Speaker, and Chaplain Michelle Richards shares her journey from death to life and gives readers an astonishing account of the time she spent in Heaven before the throne of God that will change your life forever.

Michelle says, "I went from the depths of hell and death in sin, to being summoned to heaven by God."

"The first reaction from readers of my book is shock that I am alive, followed by tears of joy from the description of my journey to Heaven and the time I spent in God's glorious tabernacle on high," Michelle shares.

Before her journey to heaven, which she vividly describes in her book, Michelle's formative years were shaped by rejection, divorce, abuse, and many near death experiences, all described with heartbreaking honesty.

In the book Michelle candidly recounts:

• Two failed suicide attempts, multiple near death experiences, and overdoses as she battled alcoholism for over fourteen years.
   
• Seeing, hearing, and experiencing the power and presence of Jesus Christ during her salvation experience, which lasted four hours.
   
• A journey to heaven after salvation, where she saw God seated on His throne, Jesus Christ, and an innumerable angelic host.
   
• Asking Jesus Christ one question during her time in Heaven and His answer.
   
• And, life as a born again chaplain ministering hope and healing with her life changing testimony.

The memoir brims with the power of God's love. The result is an original, authentic, moving account of hope, healing, and restoration for the ages. It is a work both intensely personal and universally resonant.

"For anyone who has ever wondered if God is real, He is. I have knelt before His throne blazing with a white-hot fire of pure glory powerful enough to have slain me dead," says Michelle. "Heaven is real, God is real, and experiencing Him changes everything!"
