Chapter 9, Earthly Cities of Light: Although the U.S. John reminded her about the story of her birth and the difficulty her mother had while pregnant with her. She was shown the War in Heaven, as well as various scenes that have played out on earth throughout the history of mankind. After being shown scenes of how distressed her husband would be upon her death, it was agreed upon that Julie would willingly go back to her body, but only after she was given a “tour” and was able to learn and see more for herself what really happens in the spirit world. John reminded Julie of the premortal existence and she was shown scenes from her premortal life, and some of the roles she played there. Chapter 2, The Lake: Describes her initial encounter with John in the spirit world. Chapter 1, The Day I Left My Body: Describes Julie Rowe's illness and hospitalization. Prior to her return, she was told that at a future time she would be expected to tell others about her experience. Julie was filled with joy as she saw the Saints establish the New Jerusalem and other Cities of Light in preparation for the Savior's Second Coming. She saw earthquakes, tsunamis, famines, plagues, and wars, but she also witnessed how the Lord is watching over His people and is preparing places of refuge to protect them from the coming calamities. Then Julie was shown upcoming world events that will be both tragic and glorious.

She also saw the restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ through the prophet Joseph Smith, and the key events that have led to the Church's growth.

But she was eventually given permission to share her experience, which she does in her book entitled 'A Greater Tomorrow'. Julie Rowe had a NDE during an operation in 2004, but was initially forbidden from disclosing it to the general public. A discussion thread on LDS Freedom Forum alerted me to the existence of another LDS member who had a NDE/OBE (Near-Death Experience/Out-of-Body Experience).
