Review # 1 was written on 2012-06-27 00:00:00 Daniel Diego These are real-life stories of near-death experiences and spiritual encounters. Having lost my dad in August, many of these stories gave me a measure of comfort, especially the stories of those who saw glimpses of Heaven before they passed on. They are also comforting to me when I think about my own eventual death from cancer. It might sound morbid to some to want to read about death when you have incurable cancer, but to me, learning more about it means I have less to fear. I especially liked hearing the stories of people seeing loved ones who had already passed waiting for them, and my favorite story was the 63 year old man who had a near-death experience and among the first to greet him were his pets. The stories about those having spiritual encounters without having to go through the near death thing were nice too, they really made me think and want to keep my mind open to be able to have experiences like that, if I am so lucky.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-04-27 00:00:00 Quentin Bentein This book is a collection of stories of people who have had near-death experiences in which they had visions or thought they went to Heaven or Hell, as well as other supernatural experiences. While interesting to read, the stories don't prove anything as they are all intensely personal experiences. One group of stories was about people who had been visited or contacted by a loved one who had died. I'm not sure that people can return to earth after death, but I know people do have supernatural experiences. I had a vision of my husband a few weeks after his death. He didn't say a word to me, but I just saw him standing behind me, looking young, healthy, and full of joy. I already knew where he was, but the vision did bring me a sense of peace. Whenever I find myself feeling sad, I remind myself of how joyous he is.
