About Josie's Books
As the dying prepare to leave this world, they often get a glimpse of what lies beyond through deathbed visits from deceased loved ones, angelic and divine figures. Josie Varga's recent book, A Call From Heaven: Deathbed Visits, Angelic Visions and Crossings to the Other Side presents substantial evidence—perhaps the most compelling to date—that we do not die alone.
Her books cover a wide variety of metaphysical and inspirational topics such as evidential afterlife communication (Visits from Heaven), near-death experiences (Visits to Heaven) and divine interventions (Divine Visits).
In addition, Make Up Your Mind to Be Happy offers 105 tips along with the advice of some of the world’s greatest thinkers including His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the beloved Actress Geri Jewell of the NBC sitcom, The Facts of Life.
After receiving requests worldwide, she is releasing a revised edition of her autobiography Footprints in the Sand: A Disabled Woman’s Inspiring Journey to Happiness. It features an uplifting follow-up with additional events that have taken place since the book's first printing and will encourage the reader to reach his or her full potential.

“Varga beautifully illustrates how ‘A Call from Heaven’ is a common experience that is transformative. Her wide-ranging stories of death bed visions and after death communication may well awaken the memory of such experiences in the readers’ minds and make them alert to future contact from deceased loved ones.
