Lessons from the Light: What We Can Learn from the Near-Death Experience

Front Cover
Red Wheel/Weiser, Sep 1, 2006 - Body, Mind & Spirit - 340 pages
This is one of the best books ever to have been written on this subject. There is no denying the reality of the experiences people have had, and in this book we go further by exploring the meaning of them and how our own lives can benefit from just reading about others. If we insist on clinging to old beliefs which just don't add up any more then we miss out on getting the knowledge of what our true nature is. Read this book and open yourself up to the Light!
