A true story of faith, hope, and finding your way in life’s darkest moments.
EVANSTON, IL, UNITED STATES, October 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — In The Crossing: My Near-Death Journey with Jesus, Liza Anderson shares a remarkable journey through a medical crisis and an experience that could never have been expected. Her memoir offers readers a glimpse into her journey that touches on some of life’s biggest questions about faith, prayer, and what may lie beyond this life.
In 2014, Liza Anderson’s life was suddenly upended by a medical emergency that led to a harrowing ordeal and forced her to confront the fragility of life. During a three-week induced coma, she experienced two incredible, life-altering journeys, one in which she faced a clear choice between life and death, and another involving a direct, breathtaking encounter with Jesus.
The Crossing is a look at the powerful questions that arise when life does not go as planned. Where do we find strength when we have no control over what happens next? How do we hold onto hope when the future is uncertain? And what if the moments that challenge us most can also reveal something extraordinary?
Anderson returned from the experience with a different perspective on how to live. She came to understand the importance of letting go of judgment and embracing life as it unfolds. Rather than focusing on outcomes, she found that the real joy lies in the experience itself, in the doing, rather than the result.
Anderson chose to share her story in the hope that it might offer comfort and a new perspective on life’s greatest challenges. Her experience gave her the knowledge that we’re truly loved, prayer matters, and heaven is real.
The Crossing: My Near-Death Journey with Jesus is a raw and powerful testimony of surviving the unthinkable and returning forever changed.
