Fascinating!,

This review is from: Closer to the Light (Mass Market Paperback)
Before this book was published, the majority of studies on the subject of near-death experiences had dealt with adults. This book specifically concentrates on NDEs of children. Dr. Morse theorized that children would be less influenced by their culture and environment, so their reactions would be more "pure" than their adult counterparts. There are many similarities between the experiences of children and adults and only one major difference, as Dr. Morse points out. He includes many interviews with children and even includes two patients who had NDEs as children and again as adults. For the scientific-minded among readers, there are plenty of studies included which show that it is unlikely that any of the experiences recorded in this book had anything to do with delusions caused by drugs or by physical or mental illness. These experiences seem to have caused great comfort to those they happened to, and thus to the reader.

Thought-Provoking,
This review is from: Closer to the Light (Mass Market Paperback)
This is undoubtedly one of the most impressive studies about NDE's available. What makes this book so interesting is the amount of detail that the children have reported about their NDE's as well as certain items that would seem very peculiar if it were just a defensive reaction of the mind to something too terrible to contemplate. For one thing, most children mentioned that in their NDE, they were NOT children, but fully grown people. This is an extremely odd phenomena -- it would seem that if this were some sort of generated phantasy that the children would be seeing themselves as they are, but without being ill, but this is not the case at all. This forms one of the most convincing aspect about the experiences. And while an adult may be able to "guess" what may happen in surgery, it is unlikely that a child would be able to do so, thus giving more credence to the notion of the out-of-body-experience. A fascinating book.

This review is from: Closer to the Light (Mass Market Paperback)
Not to repeat what several others have mentioned here in these well written reviews, but this is a wonderful book.The most notable element I see in this book is that children do not pass ALONE. There is always a loving presence - someone that goes with the child - and takes away their fears and eases the transition. There was one story about a young girl (age 7) who tried to kill herself. She'd been the victim of horrible child abuse and chose suicide as the only way out. She left her body and found herself surrounded by "a bubble of love and life". She was shown a tree - encased in ice and snow - and told she was in the winter of her life now, but that summer was coming and much joy was ahead of her in life. She was 47 when interviewed for this book and her adult life had been one of stability, joy and much peace. The other good reason to buy this book is because on page 147 is "the rest of the story" about the 1986 bombing of the elementary school in Cokeville, Wyoming. Many of the children who were there when the bomb went off (they'd all been stuffed into one classroom by David Young, the bomber) told of angelic beings that gave them very specific instructions as to where to go to be safe. Not one or two, but many children talked about the angels, or "nice ladies who were all lit up" and voices - all giving them clear direction. And by the way, only David Young died when that bomb went off. This is a well written, informative, enlightening and good-news book.
