Interesting but..
Interesting. This is not from the Christian perspective. Just so you know. More one consciousness. But with certain clues. Some of the clues he has yet to work out. He does not go into detail about what he saw. But he does give some. There are not the words to describe out of this world experience. Because it is just that! Out of this world. He uses a lot of his scientific knowledge. And fact based science. Very helpful. But I felt he missed something essential in what he saw. Maybe that was was shown him that way on purpose. The west is so typically closed to truth outside this physical world. They deny spiritual exists. So God has to use different methods, to take us out of our stupid ‘religious mode’ blindness. Both for Christians and non Christians!. A good book. Some truths were amazing. But I did feel something was missing.. or Someone. Worth a read. But do it with an open mind. Don’t hide in fear or legalism behind bibles scripture , or you will miss what he does actually say! Take the truth you feel. And leave the rest.Read full review...

Hard going
I really looked forward to reading this book but unfortunately I lost interest half way through. I am a spiritualist and love to read books of the afterlife usually finding I can't put them down. I have never given a bad review yet but I found parts of the description of where the author went unnerved me. Also there was a lot of doctors wording which went on too much and I found myself skipping pages.
I think it's possible the book will get more interesting and I will read it to the end.Read full review...

Awesome
awesome experience described with feeling and emotion and hitting the boundary of current scientific understanding. As a none religious person I took the reference to God as universal energy / life force. The Consiousness of Everything is so so unknown and fascinating - for me that was the ultimate essence of Dr Alexanders experience and one of the key things he wants us all to undrstand, and for sciece to explain (if it ever can !).
Read it to the end - as with all great books the last 3 chapters are wow.Read full review...

Out of this world!
Well - what an amazing book this is. Dr Eben Alexanders' story is absolutely incredible. I couldn't put the book down. Fantastically written journey into the afterlife. The scientific evidence and his knowledge and understanding of being a Neurosurgeon was a very powerful tool. It was easy to read and provided a very moving account about his experience. I would highly recommend this book.Read full review...

An Amazing Story
This is a detailed account of an NDE (Near Death Experience), but what makes it compelling is that the subject is a committed man of science, a top Neurologist. For one thing this makes the account a good deal more credible than your average account, for another thing he systematically disposes of scientific explanations from the point of view of established neuroscience. Finally what he describes is a "perfect storm" near death experience that he had whilst in a coma due to a nasty bout of bacterial meningitis that very nearly killed him, a state in which he assures us that his brain could not possibly have been generating the experiences he reports. While he doesn't provide any external means of verification beyond a medical statement to that effect by an independent medic, for me the really interesting thing is the message of love and peace resulting from his experience. It seems he is a better man for what happened to himRead full review...

Proof of heavan
Probably one of the most detailed near death experience story told by a very intelligent man with a twist at the end. His story is authentic and ground-breaking. It poses new questions for science and spirituality.Read full review...

Heavy going, gives you hope
I found the content too technical, having no medical background it was like reading a foreign language, had to bypass lots of the medical terminology, which was a shame , the book wasn't meant for a layperson to read. But I desperately want to believe every word.Read full review...

A uniquely reassuring and detailed explanation of where we go, when we are no longer here! Definite read if you believe in the afterlife after death!
Very comforting and enlightening! For those of us who are truly intrigued as to whether death is actually the end of everything or possibly just the beginning of something else, something greater for our soul, this is the book to read. It details and explains what can only be described as an inexplicable journey, a journey that one day, we will all take. As certain as being born, we all die and leave this worldy realm. I found this book reassuring, in confirming my own belief, that death is definitely not the final chapter for us all and that actually, it appears to be a new beginning of something much greater.Read full review...

A doctor's near death experience
Eben Alexander's near death experience had a profound effect on him. He should be dead but instead he was given absolute proof of life after death. It has changed his life forever. His story is a really inspirational oneRead full review...
