Glimpses of Eternity: An investigation into shared death experiences - Softcover

In his seminal book Life After Life, Dr Raymond Moody introduced the near-death experience (NDE) to the world, sharing the true stories of those who have returned from the brink of death.

In this stunning sequel, Dr Moody returns to the area in which he made his name and provides compelling new evidence that NDEs are not the mere biological products of brains in the process of shutting down. Here, he shares the eyewitness accounts of those who have shared the experiences of the dying: the 'empathic death experiences' that occur when those gathered at the bedsides of the dying have their own visions of the afterlife.

Brimming with case studies and drawing upon a lifetime's research as well as recent findings, this important book will change the way we think about life and death. As the baby-boomer generation begins to lose those they love, and international scientific research continues in this area, Dr Raymond Moody's book could not be more timely.

The first ever book to explore the phenomenon of' Shared Death Experiences'

In his classic work Life after Life, Dr Raymond Moody recorded case histories of people who were clinically dead and then revived. Introducing the concept of the NDE (Near Death Experience), he revolutionised the way we think about dying. Since the publication of that multi-million copy bestseller, hundreds of thousands of people have contacted Dr Moody with their own true stories, leading to a startling new discovery - the Shared Death Experience.

Glimpses of Eternity investigates for the very first time the extraordinary accounts of healthy people, friends and relatives who have had their own inexplicable experiences at the bedsides of the dying. Discover how entire families have seen strange visions or even accompanied their loved ones halfway to heaven. Others tell of witnessing life reviews, during which they learned things they never knew about those on the point of passing over...

Dr Moody challenges many current scientific theories about NDEs; for if Near Death Experiences are simply a product of the dying brain, how on earth can so many people in good health share them? Letting the compelling evidence speak for itself, Glimpses of Eternity offers hope and comfort for us all.
