Summary: Another way to look at life
Review: This book taught me to look at life from a different perspective. My father died when I was 5 and I never really understood the relationship between life and death, people who tell the stories in this book have been through it, it's real and its amazing.

Summary: As long as I have cheese
Review: This book was a good book to read it makes you feel better about life and death. It doesn't matter if you don't belave in life after death, because when you read it the book makes you think, could there be a life when you die. The author has style in his wrighting and he explans lots of what he puts in the book. Dr. Moody says there are many things that people expernce one of them are death. in his book he says he knows people that have came back to life.The things I like about this book is that it made me feel better. It made me look at death in a different way like I never wanted to die. I always though that everything was over and I would just be gone ,but now I think different about it and im ok about the whole thing of death. I think there is a God and we do get to see him in another life. He also has a gold book that says if we were nice or bad.
The author tells about when he was a yong kid he got to know a teacher when he was in college. This teacher had told about his near death experence, but Dr. Moody did not beleave in it then later on in his life he talked to more people that had experence the same thing. Thats when he started to want to know more about this near death stuff. I think don't think somethings not true just because you have not experence it your self. there are other people that have and could live to tell about it. Thats why I think this is a good book to read it could change your life or it could change what you think about death.

Summary: Interesting Look At NDE's
Review: This is a fascinating look at a poorly-understood phenomenon. the author tries to give an abstract model of the accounts of many people who have come close to death or who have been "clinically" dead for some time. He mentions the characteristics that any NDE's tend to be a subset of: Out-of-body experiences, going through the tunnel, meeting beings of life, seeing dead relatives, the loud ringing sound, and so on. Very little speculation is done here (and I think that is for the better), but rather the existential aspects are emphasised. Rather than impressing me with the possibility of life after death, the book seemed to mark upon me the untapped potantials of the human mind, which are just beginning to be learned about. the book will do little to convince any serious-minded reader of the actuality of life after death, which is a good thing, I think . . . when dealing with such matters, I do not think one should rely on a book, but on direct experience. So I do not believe that the reality of "only life" can ever be scientifically proven. Nevertheless, a study of such matters may provide a valuable psychological asset in the study of human beings. For a more detailed and scientific look, please refer to Ian Richardson's and Kenneth Ring's research.

Summary: Life goes on for ever
Review: This is the classic that brought near-death experiences to public attention. It documents over 100 cases where people have traveled out of the body, through what appears as a tunnel, and moved into the light, where they met spirit friends who had passed over years before.

Summary: You MUST read this book - it will change your life!
Review: Whether you are a(n) Christian, Jew, Hindu, Buddist, Muslim, Deist, Atheist, Agnostic (etc..), or if you have ever lost a loved one, this is a must read! The author Moody is unbiased and straightforward in his style, and it is an eminently readable book. This book contains a compliation of factual after death experiences of a number of totally unrelated case studies, and the similarities are absolutely striking in many cases. This book deals with topics (as experienced in the case studies) such as: the phenomenon of death, the experience of dying, after death experiences, a being of "light" (Wow!), the various explanations that have been postulated, and the most prominent questions regarding Dr. Moody's research (and much more!). This book is absolutely FASCINATING! This is not just some new age bunch of theoretical garbage, but a published version of an extensive study that seems to have been very scientific and professional. Whether you are into Plato, Aurelius, Jesus, Nietchze, Hume, Aquinas, Dembski, or just Homer Simpson and King of the Hill, PLEASE READ THIS BOOK, and then encourage others to do so as well! ... You will not regret reading this book!... In addition, the version that I have contains both "Life after Life" and "Reflections on Life After Life," which is basically a more recent and updated version of the same subject (but with new info and research, including the documentation of the experiences of those who, after temporarily "dying" clinically, learned about: what happens to those who commit suicide, a "city of light", "judgment", "bewildered spirits"; as well as reactions from the ministry). I strongly exhort you to read both books; the follow-up book is not at all superfluous. It is just as interesting as the first book, and they need to be read together for the complete effect. You don't have to be some detached philosophical thinker or a theologian to appreciate this awe-inspiring study; you only have to be a person who is curious about what happens when (and after) you die! Read, enjoy, and LEARN from it! ...
