Summary: Great Information
Review: Raymond Moody did a survey of people who had near death experiences. He found that all of the participants in the survey experienced God unconditional love. I believe this is the first publication about these experiences. It must be the survey Lewis makes reference to in his book An Encounter With A Prophet. It is enlightening to see how all of these people responded to these questions before the media got a hold on the subject and attracted the fundamental religious fanatics

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good insight on death and a worth while read
Review: The book Life After Life is a book about peoples experiences with death and how they felt emotionally and physically during these experiences. It is a good book to read if you have any doubts or fears about death and lets you know that death is not the worst part about dieing. It is you waiting to die that is much worst than the actual experience. This book was wonderful keeping me intrested the whole way through, but got slow at a few parts, and lost me a little. But once you get past that i really liked this book, and i think you would to. So in conclusion i really suggest you read this book if your looking for something to read and be entertained.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Do not fear death
Review: This book gives you a really good insight on how and what it is like dieing and why you should not fear it. This book has many different stories from people that have died and where brought back. It kept me entertained almost the whole book. It lost me a few times then just pulled me back in. It is a excellent book to read if you have any doubts or fears of death.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A wonderful gift for the bereaved.
Review: This book is a wonderful gift for our recently bereaved friends, or those who have not yet accepted the loss of a loved one. It is compatible with most religious outlooks and doctrines. This very original work is a joy to read, and is a great solace and comfort to anyone who has ever had to deal with death of friend or family. Insights are given as to the true nature of death as a sequel to life, and the reality of a glorious afterlife. Largely due to improvements in medical technologies, many people are now brought back from near-death, often with reports of their experiences upon entering and glimpsing another world just over the threshhold between life and death...Their first hand reports are thrilling. The manner in which Dr. Moody presents these experiences, shared with him over the years by his patients, is sensitive and meaningful, never morbid or frightening. Upon completion, the reader may well exclaim, "Death, where is thy sting?". This is a "must read"!

Summary: More Proof of What We Already Know
Review: This book is another testament to immortality. (It has to be remembered that Dr. Moody is giving a HUMBLE approach to hightime controversy.)

Dr. Moody presents the main components of what he calls the Near-Death-Experience. NDE's happen when a person is 'clinically' dead. The same patient is later 'brought back' after a minute or so. But often they come back telling stories of a Being of Light, or a dark tunnel, or travelling through the hospital in another kind of body. What Dr. Moody has done is the isolation of the common themes of the NDE: the tunnel, the noise, the Being of Light, angels, life-review, feeling of peace, regret of coming back, etc. He decides that when the evidence is weighed up, the NDE can only be a spiritual experience. In the sequel book, "Beyond the Light," Dr. Moody shows why medical explanations fail to account for the NDE.

Nearing the end of the book, Dr. Moody considers the older conceptions of death, as with Plato. He finds similarities!

What I found most interesting, of all, was the life-review. The Bible says that 'every hair on your head is counted.' In like manner, the life-review is a critique of EVERYTHING we have EVER said or done. In only a moment we see THE ENTIRETY OF OUR LIFE in a panoramic vision, like Dicken's 'A Christmas Carol.' This would seem to defy mathematics, but any mystic will know what we are talking about. I myself grew up believing that EVERYTHING IS KNOWN. And now, thanks to Dr. Moody, I have some verification.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Informational, but defensive.
Review: This book is considered by many to be the authority on the topic of Near Death Experiences. It is very scientific in nature, but I found it to be monotonous because of its droning defense of the author's work. It doesn't so much focus on the NDE itself as much as the author's scientific approach to the topic. It has case studies that are highly susceptible to outside influences and hazy memories (as most stories are being told many years after the event happened), but at the time it was the only book on the market. It is still hard to find much literature on this subject, so it is a valuable read, but it would be quite easy for an author in today's world to write a current and more accurate work if someone had the opportunity.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A captivating, amazing book
Review: This book is the perfect read for anyone who has lost a loved one or wondered what the "other side" just might consist of. Dr. Moody provides some amazing individual accounts from folks who have died, but were able to return to this Earth to tell about it. If you are closed minded and don't believe in the after life, this book isn't for you...however, if you believe that we live on even after we leave our physical body, don't hesitate to order this one. Brought up some scenarios which I encountered as I watched my Dad die at home of cancer...really provided me with a great deal of comfort knowing that he is truly in such an awe inspiring place.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A entertaining view on afterlife
Review: This book Life After Life was about peoples experiences of dieing and entering the afterlife. This book i would suggest you read it if you are intrested in the afterlife or have any fears or doubts about dieing. it really helps you realize that dieing is not the worst part of death. It is the anticipation of dieing that is the worst. This book sucked me in from the beggining but lost me every once and a while. So if you think you can stick through this story without geting to lost like i did, i really suggest you read this book. It is not to long and not to hard to read. hank you for reading my review and taking my advice on the book titled Life After Life

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Truth on the Spiritual Path
Review: This book should be read by everyone, and especially those interested in the afterlife/NDE, spirituality, and psychic ability. When reading this book, those knowledgeable about these subjects will find a common thread by other authors/books and a better understanding and substantiation will result. Other authors/books for those on the spiritual path are:- "The Mystic Path"- by Raymund Andrea ; "The Wisdom of the Mystic Masters"- by Joseph Weed ; "Psychic Gifts - Tools to Connect" - by Tiffany Snow and "Destiny of Souls"- by Michael Newton
