Product Description

Product Description

The skeptics have had their say; now listen to the experts. In hundreds of interviews with children who had once been declared clinically dead, Dr. Morse found that children too young to have absorbed our adult views and ideas of death, share first-hand accounts of out-of-body travel, telepathic communication and encounters with dead friends and relatives. Finally illuminating what it is like to die, here is proof that there is that elusive "something" that survives "bodily death."
"New information on what may await us after death...Responsible, highly readable, and certainly thought-provoking."

Format:Library Binding
This book has become almost a bible for me. It is so beautifully written, without exaggeration or attempt to push the ideas. As a practicing clinician, Dr, Morse became interested in the after death experiences of children he was treating. These revealed much more than he expected, and he gives accounts of what his children discovered while they were apparently dead. As Dr. Morse says, he found it particularly intriguing and convincing because not only were the children innocents, without prior education in the subject, but also many of the accounts of observation of events in the hospital and elsewhere were confirmed.

Read the book. It touches places other books fail to reach.

Brief but interesting 30 Aug 2007
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Contains a number of interesting accounts of NDEs experienced by children. Many of these include OBEs in which the child accurately describes events that occured whilst they were unconcious or effectively dead.

His research suggests that NDEs only occur where the patient actually 'dies' for some period with no comparable experiences for seriously ill children or children whose treatment includes mind altering medication.

Morse manages to counter the common alternative/ reductionist explanations for NDE's (for example 'the endorphin model', hallucination, anesthetic or drug effects).

This book is written by a doctor who, at first, did not believe the stories he heard from the children in his care but he kept an open mind. Eventually he realised that the similarities were too coincidental to be untrue. This book will make sceptics rethink their beliefs. Please read it and see for yourself that there really IS a peaceful paradise awaiting all of us!
