Fascinating book. A  result of rigorous criteria in selecting experiences. For anyone who has lost a loved one an enormous comfort without needing a leap of faith . I encourage anyone to read it and make their own conclusions. A collection of experiences without judgement or mysticism

Drawing on decades of work as a brilliant engineer and creative problem solver, Chuck Swartwout walks us through his personal search for what we all want  one last conversation with a departed loved one.

After his wife of 54 years died suddenly, Swartwout, a strong Christian, believed his wife was in Heaven. But what he wanted more than anything was to talk to her again from this earth. Swartwout used his training as an engineer to piece together a path through which to reconnect with Gretchen. In a non-threatening way that makes this book readable to believers and non-believers alike, he uses scientific, Biblical and common sense approaches to map out a path that leads to the logical conclusion that the afterlife does indeed exist.

In Swartwouts 94 years on this planet, he has obtained degrees from MIT and Case Institute of Technology, produced the worlds longest-running commercial (for which he holds a place in the Guinness Book of World Records) and worked with celebrities such as Jimmy Stewart and Dick Van Dyke. His book is written in a friendly, conversational tone that leaves you wanting to sit down with him over dinner and find out what else he has to say.

You Dont Die - You Just Change Channels is one of the most fascinating books Ive read in awhile, and it made me laugh, cry, and learn all in one sitting. Id recommend it to anyone questioning an afterlife, wishing to reconnect with a deceased loved one, or just wanting a witty and intelligent read.

The book provides a very detailed interaction with the afterlife, something that I find lacking in many books about NDE's. If you are deciding whether or not to buy this book, do it. It will get you thinking and it might just change your life. I know it has mine.

This is one of the best books I've read on what happens after death. Only the few who have come back really know, but Jacqueline Druga has clearly done her homework on this one. A woman dies and comes back to life after visiting Heaven. That's what we usually hear. Ms. Druga puts a different spin on the incident. Included in her book are a number of true accounts of people who want to contact a loved one "on the other side". After reading the main story, I read those stories from the people who contacted Ms. Druga about their need for Resolution with a loved one. There's no doubt about the grief these people feel. It was fascinating to read and heart-breaking to think about how loving someone and then losing them affected those left behind. It's a great read! I loved it.

Julia Assante's book was much more than I expected. I originally bought it for a friend whose son had committed suicide some months earlier and then decided it would be a good idea to read the book before giving it to her.  Julia's inclusion of personal events in her life along with more technical information and descriptions of the afterlife transformed many of my own expectations and fears of death and enabled me to release most of my personal anxieties about death as I approach my eightieth year of life.  I am confident that the friend for whom I bought the book will also find it helpful as she continues to work through her grief.

This is a first hand account of what happens after we die, as told by Erik Medhus through a spirit translator. The channeling is authentic and Erik's voice comes through clearly. This book provides unique insights I haven't found in other books on the topic, and is an engaging, un-putdownable read. I highly recommend My Life after Death, especially for those who've lost loved ones to suicide.

This is the most moving, inspiring, and beautiful book I have ever read. It shows us what life after death is really like: most of us will find ourselves in a world remarkably similar to this one, yet so much better. Some of us will have to undergo a period of correction: but that is only temporary. Mr. Borgia and spirit author Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson teach us how traditional religionists, with their belief in an eternal Heaven and Hell, and reincarnationists, who believe that spiritual progress can be made only in an earthly existence, both have much to learn about afterlife realities.

If I could own only one book, this would be it. If you read only one book this year, this should be it.

This book is confirmation that our loved ones who have passed, are still here with us. I read it after doing a medium session with my cousin. She married my first cousin and never knew the older family members (my Dad, Mom, Brother, Sister, etc.) It was a real treat to talk with them, and educational for her as well. She explained that heaven is just another plane, like electricity. It's there but you just can't see it.

This is the first book I've read by this author.

I would regard this as an excellent introduction to the subject of life after death.

Van Praagh, who is an extremely gifted medium, is an intelligent and cultured man and an eloquent writer. It was a pleasure to read a book couched in such graceful language (for a change, I am tempted to say).

In the preliminary chapters van Praagh goes into detail about such matters as the universal mind, the aura, including its colours, the etheric,astral and mental bodies and the processes involved in the various types of death.

Later in the book we are presented with various moving stories taken from his innumerable client consultations, the basic themes addressed being expectations, guilt, fear, forgiveness and love. This section of the book in particular is thoroughly readable.

In the final section the author gives us various useful exercises for grounding, protection and "bringing out your light", He concludes by providing us with spiritual guidelines by which to successfully bring uo our children in these challenging times.

The book is filled with insightful quotations taken from the works of famous writers together with valuable spiritual precepts, such as: "Remember God always says yes; we say no."

I would particularly recommend this book to those new to the subject.

I have read numerous books on the subject of NDE's.  This one touched me like not other I have on the subject. Dr Morse has written many books on the subject as it is apparent he has dedicated a large part of his life studying the facets of the near death experience.  Let me just say that this book is always by my bed.  It's pages have been read many times over, so much so, that they are now worn.  Very well written, very enlightening.  Powerful.

After my 19 year old daughter was taken from me in an auto accident, I read many books.  This book "God's gift of Love-After Death Communications" is by far the most loving book that will bring such peace into your greiving heart.  Losing a loved one especially a child, is the worst thing that a person can ever endure.  This book helps you to see the good in the journey you are going through.  It is enlightening and it will show you that life does not end when we pass over.  Life goes on in the spirit world.  They do not die.  They live on with all the love that they had for us when they were here with us in the physical world.  Love never ends, ever.  After death communications are real and you learn how to recognize what they are and what to watch for.  This is a must read book and it will help you to start healing and give you a new look at this thing that we call death.  It is never a death, it is continued life.  Only in another form.  Please read this book and start on your own journey of healing.

Bob Olson provides a really important service with his AfterlifeTV interviews, and his book is a welcome addition. Since my daughter was murdered in 2000 I've done my own investigation into the afterlife, and all Bob's guests and his own take on it in the book are affirming. I highly recommend Answers about the Afterlife to anyone with an open mind.

I bought this book originally to explain the impending death of his grandfather. Since then, I've read it at funerals and to many other people. People always ask me after my public readings of it where to buy the book. This is the best book by far, to explain death to any age. It applies to both the spiritual and the non-spiritual. I wish I could give it 10 stars. It is also beautifully illustrated.

I have worked professionally as a psychotherapist for over 30 years.  I have ordered several copies of "Signposts of Dying" for my office to share with clients.  I am excited Dr Martha Jo Atkins' guidance is now available for everyone who reads this book.  I am excited for the families who will benefit and for their dying loved ones  It is a "must have" for you if your are caring for someone who is dying or if you are preparing for your own death.

I speak from personal experience.  Dr. Martha Jo Atkins coached my siblings and I through the signposts of our Dad's dying experience last summer. We were calmer and more peaceful because she helped us understand what was happening.  We learned to meet him where he was and how to respond to his metaphoric talk and deathbed visions.  I am forever grateful for her ability to help us help walk him home.

This book is the next best thing to having Dr Atkins with you when someone you love is dying.  Her writing voice is just as warm, kind, and loving as her speaking voice.  You will feel the comfort, reassurance and wisdom in her words as you read along.  Keep it on your phone or tablet.  Carry it in your backpack or purse.  Take it with you into the hospital, nursing home, hospice house. You can pull it out to read when it's your turn at the bedside, notice something is changing or start to feel scared.  The chapters are well organized, simple and clear--easy to read when you're tired or only have a  few minutes. This book will be your companion as you are companioning your dying parent, friend, spouse, child. It will forever change how you are around death and how you feel about your own future death.  Gift yourself with it and become a gift at the bedside of those your love.  Keep a copy with your advanced care directives so those you love will be able to help walk you home, too.

Everyone should read this book.
It makes little comment about teachings of the afterlife.  It totally focuses on the hard evidence left by souls in the afterlife when they returned to this world.
It does not preach or interpret; it presents evidence for your consideration.
You will be unable to dismiss the careful selection of hard evidence it presents.  This is no ghost hunt with a high EMF and whispered EVP.
If you do not believe in any afterlife, read this and you will face some evidence that will rock your boat!!
This is a must-have if you have any interest in the Paranormal or Ghost Hunting.
Christian or not, you need to read this and look at the hard, certified information of the afterlife.
Yes, Purgatory is talked about, but so are Heaven and Hell.  And YOU will face them sooner or later.

Let me explain, I was raised Protestant and was a conservative Protestant for 40 years before finding the teachings of Catholicism and I was compelled by reason and the Holy Spirit to join the Catholic Church for the rest of my life both now and in the afterlife.  As expected from anyone with that background, I have been going from problematic belief to another to absorb the teachings of the Church.  I have found all of them to be sound and correct as i studied them.  Then came Purgatory.  And this book.  I have never read or owned a book that hits as hard as this one.  Little to no doctrine and less theology, it totally focuses on the hard evidence left by souls in torment in the afterlife; you will be unable to dismiss the careful selection of evidence it presents.  You will be uplifted when souls have completed their time and have peace.  With no need to return to this world, they pass onward to God.

But there IS HOPE in the afterlife!  This is a hard conclusion:  Even though many of us will spend time getting the stains left on our soul by our sins in this life, we will KNOW WITHOUT DOUBT this purification has an end and WE WILL BE WITH JESUS when we are ready.
This we can be certain of: "Our sins have been fully forgiven; but stains of sin must be removed before we can be with God"  And this is the message delivered by the souls undergoing purification who have been permitted by God to contact the people who are alive in this world.  This book contains the records of a few living people and their irrefutable experiences with the souls undergoing purification.  The book makes no claim to cover or catalog in any way all of the evidence of the afterlife.  Nor does it try to extend its evidence to cover all ghosts or paranormal activity.  It presents the only evidence of a few extraordinary contacts from the afterlife.
It will strengthen you understanding of the afterlife or, more likely, change your world view.

An excellent approach to bring the revealed truths that are universal to mankind concerning life after death.  The documentation is well done, the organization of the material is superb, and the logic is presented with love.

This book is a definite must have/read if you are also reading/investigating books like&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Proof-of-Heaven/dp/B008AK8FHM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Proof of Heaven</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Life-After-Life-The-Investigation-of-a-Phenomenon-Survival-of-Bodily-Death/dp/0062517392/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Life After Life: The Investigation of a Phenomenon--Survival of Bodily Death</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Embraced-by-the-Light/dp/0553382152/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Embraced by the Light</a>, or&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/The-Message/dp/1889025046/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">The Message</a>&nbsp;- in order to relate their near death experiences to Christ, the Gospel, and today's religious turmoil and be able to come away with a better understanding for your life.

My only wish is that there were more copies available to gift to those that have lost a loved one who can benefit from the comfort obtained by seeking the knowledge shared in this book.

I also purchased the audio cd and it is VERY closely related to the book (as the audio recording occurred first and was an oft repeated topic that he was encouraged to write down to create the book) and is worthwhile to help recall the many topics without reading the entire book.
