About the Book
A SCIENTIST’S CASE FOR THE AFTERLIFE
Thousands of people have had
near-death experiences, but scientists have argued that they are
impossible. Dr. Eben Alexander was one of those scientists. A highly
trained neurosurgeon, Alexander knew that NDEs feel real, but are simply
fantasies produced by brains under extreme stress.
Then, Dr. Alexander’s own brain
was attacked by a rare illness. The part of the brain that controls
thought and emotion—and in essence makes us human—shut down completely.
For seven days he lay in a coma. Then, as his doctors considered
stopping treatment, Alexander’s eyes popped open. He had come back.
Alexander’s recovery is a medical
miracle. But the real miracle of his story lies elsewhere. While his
body lay in coma, Alexander journeyed beyond this world and encountered
an angelic being who guided him into the deepest realms of
super-physical existence. There he met, and spoke with, the Divine
source of the universe itself.
Alexander’s story is not a
fantasy. Before he underwent his journey, he could not reconcile his
knowledge of neuroscience with any belief in heaven, God, or the soul.
Today Alexander is a doctor who believes that true health can be
achieved only when we realize that God and the soul are real and that
death is not the end of personal existence but only a transition.
This story would be remarkable no
matter who it happened to. That it happened to Dr. Alexander makes it
revolutionary. No scientist or person of faith will be able to ignore
it. Reading it will change your life.
