  Light in Bandaged Places shows us the harm done when an older man in a position of power convinces a child that sex with him is alright because he loves her. This poignant story takes us through the long-term wounding of such abuse, and the multifaceted path of healing. 
  As a lonely girl coming of age in the 1970s, Liz has every reason to believe her 8th-grade teacher is in love with her. Because the sex isn’t physically violent and is wrapped in a message of love, she learns to exchange sex for attention. But years later, as an adult, emotional closeness eludes Liz. Even after marrying a sensitive, caring man, she is walled off. Struggling through confusing years, she believes something is deeply wrong with her. 
  Healing begins when an unexpected event takes Liz back to those formative years, and she sees for the first time that what happened to her was not love but abuse. As she begins to understand how her relationship with her former teacher destroyed her innocence and self-worth, she begins a spiritual and psychological journey that sets her free. 
  Now a meditation teacher and Buddhist practitioner, Liz offers her story in hope of helping others along their own paths of discovery and healing.

  Unlike many other books on the subject of near-death experiences (NDEs), Lessons from the Light is intended mainly for those who have never had an NDE themselves but wish to learn from those who have. In clear language, the practical lessons for living and dying are to be found from the study of NDEs. Written by one of the foremost authorities on NDEs, Dr. Kenneth Ring, Lessons from the Light is a book for those who looking to gain knowledge and wisdom to enhance their own lives by incorporating the insights stemming from what many people have come to believe is the ultimate spiritual experience of our time. Listeners will discover for themselves what others have had nearly to die to learn, and how their own lives can blossom in ways that are typical for persons who have undergone NDEs directly. 
   
   
   
  Although Lessons from the Light recounts many moving stories of NDEs, it is not just another book filled with inspiring testimonies but has helpful guidance and practical exercises concerning how listeners can make use of this knowledge to live with greater self-insight, self-compassion, and concern for others, as well as to be better prepared for death, dying, and bereavement. Listeners can apply what they have learned to their own lives and absorb and internalize these lessons from the Light in such a way as to lead to deep personal and spiritual transformation.
