In Life After Life Raymond Moody investigates more than one hundred case studies of people who experienced "clinical death" and were subsequently revived. First published in 1975, this classic exploration of life after death started a revolution in popular attitudes about the afterlife and established Dr. Moody as the world's leading authority in the field of near-death experiences. Life after Life forever changed the way we understand both death -- and life -- selling millions of copies to a world hungry for a greater understanding of this mysterious phenomenon.
The extraordinary stories presented here provide evidence that there is life after physical death, as Moody recounts the testimonies of those who have been to the "other side" and back -- all bearing striking similarities of an overwelming positive nature. These moving and inspiring accounts give us a glimpse of the peace and unconditional love that await us all.

My Fav. NDE Books Ive Been There Too,
This review is from: Life After Life (Paperback)
One day in 1995 I died, and had a NDE. Ever since then, I've been reading everything I can on the subject. According to most stories I've read, I had an unusual one, not going down a tunnel, but experiencing many interesting phenomena all the same. It seems to me that there are some NDE books and magazine articles that are just hype, and published just to give recognition. I have found, through my many years and multitudes of books on the subject, that there is an underlining truth and spirit that pervades the true experiences. So, I have compiled a list of my best reads for NDE books - ones that I consider genuine and adding validating light to the personal NDE experience. I have left out compilations, these are personal narratives. I hope you enjoy them too.Embraced by the Light ------by Betty J.

An Eye-Opening Tour of NDEs,
By
This review is from: Life After Life (Paperback)
This is the book that seems to have initiated the avalanche of popular interest in the near-death-experience (NDE) phenomenon back in 1975. Not only does it contain many (very similar) testimonies from various people who have had the experience, but it also contains discussions on ancient writings (by Plato, in the Tibetan Book of the Dead, etc.) that describe essentially the same things. The author has also included chapters in which he fields various questions that he has been asked about the NDE phenomenon, as well as on various attempts at explaining it. This edition, published in 2001, is the 25th anniversary edition of the book that was originally published in 1975. In addition to the original text, it contains a new preface by Dr. Melvin Morse, as well as a new afterword written by the author. Since this book's original publication, much has been written about NDEs in medical journals and popular literature alike; research and debate on this issue continue to this very day. The writing style is very clear, concise, friendly, authoritative, widely accessible and quite captivating. This is a book that can be read with utter fascination by anyone.

I used to love this book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Life After Life (Paperback)
And I still have sentimental feelings for it. When someone I know has passed on, I hope that the things I've read in "Life After Life" really do provide a "preview."But if you read Connie Willis' "Passage," a novel about scientists who study NDEs, you will wonder. You will ask just how Moody conducted his research. Did he ask his subjects leading questions? Did he encourage them down certain paths? Nobody wants to believe his vision more than I. But there are things that we non-scientists need to know before evaluating a work like this. This is not to say that Connie's vision is "correct." But her book points out the weaknesses that MAY be inherent in "Life After Life." If a researcher goes in with pre-conceived notions and expectations, he can - if he's skillful and personable - lead his witnesses to the conclusions he has already drawn. Death is a mystery, folks. That's the way it is.
