An uplifting study of the scientific evidence for the afterlife from an
experienced anesthesiologist/intensive care physician
- Details meticulously recorded and hospital-verified cases of
near-death experiences
- Cites scientific research on NDEs to refute the standard objections
of doubters and materialists point by point
- Explores out-of-body experiences, sessions with mediums, electronic
communication with the deceased, and other signs from the afterlife
Over the course of his 25-year career as an anesthesiologist and
intensive care physician, Jean Jacques Charbonier, M.D., gathered
hundreds of accounts of patients who returned from clinical death.
Across all of these accounts--from patients with vastly different
backgrounds--Dr. Charbonier found striking similarities as well as
indisputable proof that these experiences were more than hallucinations.
He surveyed other physicians, nurses, and professional caregivers and
discovered that their patients described the same experiences as well as
exhibited the same positive life transformations afterward. Igniting a
scientific quest to learn more, he collected more accounts of near-death
experiences as well as out-of-body experiences, attended dozens of
sessions with mediums, experimented successfully with electronic
communication with the deceased (EVP), interviewed hundreds of people
who have cared for the dying, and gathered countless inexplicable
stories of "signs" from the afterlife. With each experience he studied,
he found himself more firmly believing in the survival of consciousness
beyond death.
Dr. Charbonier distills his findings into 7 reasons to believe in the
afterlife, beginning with the more than 60 million people worldwide who
have reported a transcendent afterlife experience. He refutes the
standard objections of doubters and materialists point by point, citing
scientific research on NDEs and the work of pioneers in the field of
consciousness studies such as Raymond Moody and Pim van Lommel.
Drawing on meticulously recorded and hospital-verified cases, Dr.
Charbonier explains that we should not fear death for ourselves or our
loved ones. By releasing our fear of death, we can properly prepare for
"the final journey." As those who have returned from death reveal, death
is simply a transition and its lessons enable us to live more fully,
peacefully, and happily in the now.
