Author Shares Warnings From God – Book Hits #1 on Barnes & Noble

Vassula Ryden reveals supernatural battle between good and evil in new bestseller, Heaven is Real, But So is Hell

After three weeks, Vassula Ryden’s new book, Heaven is Real But So is Hell, shot up to Number One on the BarnesAndNoble.com Top 100 list, and the book wasn’t even in stores yet. Moreover, not a single advertisement has been run.

Author Vassula Ryden, a Greek Orthodox Christian, has built over 1,000,000 fans on Facebook.com/JesusIsReturning and Twitter.com/VassulaRyden. Thousands of supporters nationwide believe she has critical prophetic messages for our modern day. Among other things, Ryden prophesied the fall of the Twin Towers on 9/11, exactly 10 years to the day before the event. Her visions and supernatural experiences have given her insights into long-asked questions like:

• Is there a Heaven, a hell and anything in-between?
• Are we living in the last days?
• If God is good, why is there so much suffering?
• What is in store for our world?

“If you met me on the street, you would never suspect this,” admits Ryden. “I look and act much like everyone else. I’m not a nun or a recluse or a gypsy fortune teller. I’m just like you, yet I see a world – a dimension – far beyond you and me.”

In the book, Heaven is Real But So is Hell, Ryden shares her encounters with God, and the many incredible miracles that have accompanied the “locutions” (interior messages) she’s received, particularly highlighting God’s warnings to our modern world, and his call for us to turn back to him.

Ryden, who is based in Greece, has spoken to millions of people in 79 countries. “Heaven is Real But So is Hell” is her first book to be released in America. For more information, visit http://www.HeavenIsRealBook.com.
