God and the Afterlife: The Groundbreaking New Evidence for God and Near-Death Experience

I really appreciate the work being done by Dr. Jeffrey Long. Research and books like this can really help many people improve their lives by helping eliminate a lot of the anxiety experienced when thinking about the death of our loved ones and our own deaths. I recommend this book to all, but especially to anyone dealing with death in one way or another at the current time. It should help bring you some peace. There is a lot of evidence out there that supports intelligent design (God) and the existence of an afterlife, there is a lot more evidence than most people realize. I suggest to anyone thinking about this most important subject (because it is something we all HAVE to face) to read as many books as you can on the subject. There are also great videos on youtube that address the subject. In this book, the reader will find that most NDEers state that the most important thing is LOVE and that is what existing here and in the afterlife is based on. Remember this: Love cannot be explained by materialism, it cannot be explained with all the advanced scientific know-how, tools or techniques in place today. Love comes from something else, other than from physical material interacting. It is not sensible to believe that love and other emotions are just side-effects of physical material interacting.I want to add that this book was both easy to read and a pleasure to read. I hope you will check it out with an open mind. I personally don't think that every account in this book is legit, but I believe that most of them are. As a seasoned researcher in this area, the hair on the back of my neck stood up a couple of times (at the same time, getting a great sense of peace) as some of the accounts have contained very similar details to some of the NDErs accounts that I personally know very well.A great read.

I've read many books regarding near-death experiences and the afterlife, but I particularly enjoyed this one because of the emphasis placed on the experiencers' encounters with God. How refreshing to read first-hand accounts not only of the vast, indescribable love of God, but also glimpses into His sense of humor! As a Christian, I am very familiar with the Bible and have read it through many times, so I knew He IS love, but I have always longed to see the lighter side of God. I knew He must have a sense of humor since we all came from Him and we have one! This book was just such a joy to read, and so very uplifting and encouraging. I was pleased also that he did mention the hellish experiences, since those are equally as real and it would be a disservice to his readers not to give them attention. Yes, even these were a blessing in disguise for those who returned, but the message they returned with should not be minimized: "You have to let them know." Thank you, Dr. Long, for this in-depth and most engaging treatment of a most vital topic. Loved the great number of experiences included and couldn't put the book down!

I regard this book as, overall, well presented. I've studied mystical and near death experiences for about three decades, and these testimonials from large groups of individuals concur admirably with all that I've encountered. Some of the accounts are so touching that tears have filled my eyes.I'm a pretty skeptical person that likes to go deeply into things, so I've read widely. I actually think that the skeptics, who repudiate spiritual accounts, by offering alternative theories, do an important job, in that, by considering their arguments and realizing whatever they put forward is not congruent with the variables they seek to dismiss, it forces one to be more rigorous, and more confident, in evaluating such experiences. I think Dr Long must have had this approach in mind, by using adequate samples and scrupulously avoiding loopholes for critics, by using chi square statistics and including information that potential critics may cite as being flawed by its absence.I also think that near death experiences and mystical experiences complement and often corroborate each other. Phillip Berman's book, The Journey Home, is a good example of this. I find the general consistency of these testimonials reassuring. On that point, one example that I would like to mention, is from a book by the late Australian physicist, Dr Raynor Johnson, entitled, Watcher on the Hills, written around the !950's, Johnson was interested in mystical experiences, well before Dr Raymond Moody's book, Life After Life, ushering in the phenomenon of near death experiences. One case in his book stood out for me; it occurred in 1927 -ninety years ago. Johnson writes, "This case is interesting, there was astral projection before the mystical experience" (astral projection being an older term for an out-of-body experience) I realized, upon reading the account, that this was a genuine NDE, about which Johnson would have had no idea, since it predated Moody's revelation.I found this case very "interesting." Here is a truncated version of what was written, so that you can see how much it mirrors modern cases: "...after leaving the physical body....Time and space did not exist....After passing through the darkness, I emerged into radiant white light.... You do not see this Light, you only know that you are immersed in it. Everything impressed on my consciousness while in the Light was by knowing, not by words.... I was aware of Love-Universal Love-Peace,Joy, Bliss, Ecstasy...to such an extent that it is impossible to express it in words. I was aware of all Life as One...and that Life is eternal. (this person finds that they are going back through the darkness to their body) They then exclaim..."it then seemed like a prison, and I prayed for release...."This ninety year old example underscores, and has the main lineaments as do examples in Dr Long's well-presented book.

This is such an amazing book. Aside of talking about the NDEs, it shows how science can be a tool for understanding what we are and what God is. I was really inspired by the scientific findings this book talks about. At the end of this reading, I was very sure about what I felt inside for years (without any scientific evidence): we are aĺl God, God is love, God is all there is. So, this book (As a part of all there is) is a part of God too. It is love. We can sense it as we read it.

Very well documented

Sorry. Just couldn't get into this book. Started several time, only to put it down and not pick up again. It has been donated to a charity.

Me encanta la voz y el contenido

Para quem se interessa pelo tema, pode comprar. Contudo, alerto, existem livros muito melhores.

This book is very insightful, informative and encouraging.It contains loads of information about God and the Afterlife from various accounts and presents a more clear vision of who God is than religion has ever done for me.If you want to get a better understanding of God and learn about the place that you will likely be heading to beyond this, you MUST get this book!

Thank you for finding time to present to the world the best researched materials on near death experiences! May God greatly bless you!Joseph GM, Author The Jezebel Spirit

I found this to be an excellent book and one that I will keep with a view to reading again soon.I left me amazed at the claims of those who had encountered ND experiences. I also found that on many occasions those persons who had encountered NDE and frequently their loved ones had moved from atheism to a firm belief in Christianity, God, Jesus and Heaven.Consequently it had me questioning certain religious organisations who embrace the belief that when we die we lay dormant in the earth until the day Jesus returns to create a new world on this earth when all will be resurrected. In addition this same religious body make the claim that belief that NDE are real are "Demonic" and works by "Satan" to turn one from a belief in God etc.Therefore on the numerous accounts in this books NDE it has me asking the question that is the above mentioned religious organisation is correct in it's claim then Satan must be extremely stupid, because as I've already written above this book shows numerous accounts of atheists who on encountering NDE have immediately become firm believers and followers of Christianity.Therefore I would be interested if anyone can give me good, supportive evidence that persons who have encountered NDE are incorrect in their belief? To date I have not found convincing evidence to disprove the validity of NDE and certainly is such experiences are the works of Satan then he better change his act because it isn't working for him.
