Well written and good Narration

I'm fascinated by the NDE. This book is written by someone who was very skeptical about the whole idea, but went to work in a Hospice, which started her on this journey of trying to find answers.. Also, her mother had dementia, and I assume she needed to be assured that there was something better waiting for her mom.. My parents both suffer from different forms of dementia, so I would guess that attracted me to this particular book. It's well worth the listen (or read).. Lots of fascinating stories as well as theories from professionals, both pro and con.. I've listen and read a number of NDE books.. some were just a little too religious for my taste, while others just felt true.. This is one of those true ones..

wanted to hear more specifics

I would have enjoyed more specific details of interviewees experiences instead of the general overall picture of what a death experience is.

Recommended.

Superbly written and superbly narrated. Very highly recommended for anyone interested in the subject matter.

Very Interesting Research

I purchased this book due to the recent death of my son, though I had read many near death books 20 or so years ago. This was well researched and revealed a great deal about the unknown masses who have had near death experiences. I wanted her to include many more examples, but a book can go on, only so long.

She asked some good questions for us to think about and made some good observations that gave more meat to the overall near death experiences.

This is the first time I've ever heard about such a medical operation and I'm most impressed as to what occurred during it. There are many, many things we don't really know yet.

Good book re: NDE's

Ive read alot of books about near death experiences and this one is good....good enough. Its not the best one i e ever read but its not the worst either.

one of the worst

I'm a Christian and don't buy what this book says, it talks about it does not matter if you believe in God or not you will have a happy after life, such rubbish. If God had not come to me just after getting home from work one day and the ceiling in my living room faded away to a soft light with so love and peace and a voice from heaven asked I am the Lord your God do you receive me and I said yes Lord I do. I was awakened that day. It does matter if you received Jesus Christ or not. Don't waste your time with this book.
