A Miracle...

I remember going through a period in my life many years ago when I had developed a very serious interest in the New Age movement. At the time, I had been dabbling with out of body experiences, the Tarot, Numerology and Astrology, among others. I had all but become convinced that life after death had more to do with traveling the astral plane than going to Heaven or Hell.I was brought up as a Christian, although at that juncture in my life I had lost my way. I was about 23 at the time and suffering from chronic depression. I had tried many anti-depressants to no avail. I decided, based on the experiences of those whose books I had been reading at the time, that suicide would most likely be the best solution, and life after death would be a much happier journey than the one I was currently experiencing.After attempting suicide (unsuccessfully) shortly thereafter, I ran across this book at a local, used bookstore, and the name of the book caught my interest. After reading it, I decided then and there I would never try suicide again. I decided that even in the worst of times, it was better to try and suffer through it with God's help than what I believe would have lead to my suffering in Hell.This book honestly saved my life, and I can't recommend it enough to those who can, in any capacity, relate with my story.

Rawlings' Book Shed "Light " on My Own N.D.E.

I had what we now refer to as a near-death experience in 1972. I was 12 years old. I told my parents about it, and they tried to calm me and told me that it was "just a dream." They were not familiar with N.D.E.s because nothing had been written about them at the time, no movies or videos, and the term "N.D.E." hadn't even been invented. The experience did not exactly fit into the concept of death that I held at the time...that God was an old man with a white beard and angels with bird-like wings. No, there was a tunnel of light, BEing of Light, and door-like portal, that I, incidentally, decided not to go through. The BEing of Light told me that if I went through the portal, then "You won't get to see your mommy and daddy again." In a nutshell, Love for my parents brought me back to my physical body. I repressed the memory to a certain extent for many years but always realized deep inside that it was a very important event! In 1984, while attending college, I was miraculously led to discover "Beyond Death's Door" in a used bookstore. Something "told me" in my mind (intuitively) to look behind another pile of books on a bottom shelf, and voila, there it was! It was a wonderful revelation because for the first time, I realized that other people had undergone an experience similar to my own, I wasn't alone! Bottom line, there truly is a "spiritual" level of existence beyond this "physical" world, and I was given a choice about whether to "come back" or not! Dr. Rawlings' book is excellent, but so are many others by such authors as Dr. Raymond Moody, Jr; and Dr. Melvin Morse. For believers, and especially skeptics, please note that all three of these authors are medical doctors, men steeped in the traditions of "rational" inquiry and the "scientific method." I'm guessing, however, that some of you may think that they must be quacks. Yea, and they've held down life-and-death positions in hospital emergency rooms! Everyone reading this book eventually will know that spiritual existence after physical death is a reality. For nonbelievers, I'm confident that, one day, you will be glad that you were wrong! Smile.

A compelling book

This isn't one of those books written by some quack out in left field, this one is written by a doctor, and one who has brought the dead back to life on more than one occasion. Here in this shocking book, people who have died and been brought back to life give their accounts as to what happened to them on "The Other Side". There is a Heaven, and there is a Hell, and once you read the true accounts from these ordinary people, you'll understand why you need to make a decision concerning Jesus Christ. Many of the folks in this book detail the horrors of Hell , and many share the warm loving and peaceful experience of Heaven. I have bought a number of copies of this book, and each time I lend a copy to a friend, it is never seen again. After one reads it, they share it with another , and then another and so on. This book will make you stop and think about death and about the after life. Get a copy today ! I welcome anyone who wants to write me and I will answer all inquiries when possible.

Toward the Light? Better check Your light!

For those that believe that everyone who dies will "go to the light" MUST read this book! Not everyone goes to Heaven! These are actual testimonies of people who have died and have gone to Hell and those that have gone to Heaven. Not sure where you'll go? This book reveals the Truth about where you go and why. It's not how good or how bad you've been - there's more to it than that. Have a friend that's not sure where they're going? This book could be the key to revealing death's truths that can save souls and take away some of the fears of death so that a fuller life can be lived. I've given a number of copies away and everyone has expressed sincere gratitude for showing them "The True Light".

Stunning proof that there is an after-life.

The stories in this book will give you the chills. These people came back from near death experiences knowing things that they could not have known if they had been in their bodies. The author is a respected physician, not a wacko. The things his patients told him convinced him that there is a God, a heaven, AND a hell. At a critical moment of my life, this book convinced me not to commit suicide
