Customer Reviews

Highly recommended

I found Gordon's book to be utterly delightful and have recommended it to a number of friends. An aspect of the descriptions that was compelling to me was the lack of traditional karmic consequences in the afterlife, other than the one's we made for ourselves. I felt this to be a deep affirmation of unconditional love as the basis of life in the universe. We are forgiven and the purpose in living is simply to expand ourselves into the fuller complete dimensions of existence regardless of our history. Very liberating! The story unfolds fluidly with utter fascination. A joy to read.

A Must-Read If You Are Interested in the Afterlife!

I've been involved with afterlife explorations now for three years and Gordon Phinn's book is one of the best I've read. Basically, it's a primer on life after physical death, seen through the eyes of Henry, Gordon's non-physical guide. In the first part of the book, Henry, who died in the early 1960's, shares his own experiences, starting with his physical death and entry into the afterlife. In Part II, he gives us guided tour of the afterlife, taking us to the different levels and explaining the different types of experiences one can have. Jane Robert's Seth often said in his book that we "create our own reality." Well, this is just as true in the afterlife (possibly even more so) as it is in physical life. Gordon and Henry amply demonstrate this throughout the book Gordon writes in a humorous, breezy manner, taking what can be complex concepts and breaking them down into digestible and thoroughly entertaining bits. This is an amazing feat considering he covers a lot of material in little over 200 pages. And he does so without dipping into dogma or preaching -- in fact his slightly irreverent style is meant to shake us out of our cobwebby concepts about life after death and show us a truer reflection of what that experience might be. I can't think of a better book to recommend for those interested in what happens after we leave our physical existence. I have a friend, a nurse, who will be going into hospice work. I'm definitely buying this book for her!

Excellent "first hand" account of exploring the afterlife

I have been fascinated by the esoteric for years and was looking forward to the release of this title. It is a great account of life in the "afterlife". Of course it takes somewhat of an open mind to understand the concepts and in that I would encourage reading up on this subject prior to or after reading this book but for those who are open to it and curious then this is the book to read. I also think books like this are invaluable to read even if you are somewhat doubtful or agnostic as to any form of spirituality. Possessing some knowledge of what the afterlife is like will help you significantly in your awareness and recognition when it's your time to go out. :-) Gordon is a great writer and there is also a lot of humour interspersed throughout the book. This is NOT a typical new-agey peace, love and mungbeans book that discusses concepts like the Galactic Federation etc but just a first hand, sometimes quite raw, account of life in the afterlife. Definitely worth the purchase.

I could not put it down!!

I've read many books on the afterlife. The Eternal Life stands out for the refreshing sense of humor that pervades it's pages. No somber seriousness or heavy religiousness here; this book enlightens through laughter.You will gain a new perspective on the dying process after reading this. What a great voice this writer has! Highly recommended!

Rates up there among the best afterlife books ever written.

Eternal Life is right up there with the best afterlife books. Written with honesty, humor and many thought provoking ideas, ah ha's, it had me entranced from cover to cover. I am definitely looking forward to more books by this very insightful and up and coming writer.
