Summary

What is it like to die--and live again? "I had a floating sensation...and I looked back and I could see myself on the bed below." "I went through this dark black vacuum at super speed." "From the moment the light spoke to me, I felt really good--secure and loved." "I heard a voice telling me what I had to do--go back--and I felt no fear." "It opened up a whole new world for me--I kept thinking, 'There's so much I've got to find out'." In this fascinating book, Dr. Moody reveals his groundbreaking study of more than one hundred people who experienced "clinical death" -- and were revived. Their amazing testimonies and surprising descriptions of "death" and "beyond" are so strikingly similar, so vivid and so overwhelmingly positive that they have changed the way we view life, death, and the spiritual hereafter. Life After Deathwill intrigue and offer strong reassurance to anyone who has wondered "what comes next?"
