They are what they are. Some will find value, others will not.
We had one poster here on CG who alluded to his own near death experience which he said made him no longer question the existence of God or whether there is life after death. He did not elaborate. He was one of the more prominent posters here.

I read Eadie's first book and enjoyed it. I know a few of the more literalist/hardline/uptight LDS at the time had a quibble about some of the details, but I didn't, nor do I think anything those folks might have had a problem with in her account goes against any revealed doctrine or is about anything important. Most LDS I knew who read it seemed to like it as well.
