She felt herself floating around in this ball of white light feeling formless and connected to everything. 2.) Death is Not the End Susie relates the tragic event of her death in the intelligent voice of a teenage girl, speaking from a strange location that’s much like a school playground. Response: My first reaction to this book is to realize how different it is from my usual reading material. For example, this book is about a boy, and I guess I usually read about main characters who are girls. Second, as both a teacher and as a parent, I have only read to children 9 and under, so I have not read much young adult literature; this book is about a high school student, and the issues and questions are definitely not those of a younger child. This thought-provoking novel is about a man who dies and is sent to heaven where he meets the five people who had the biggest impact on his life. The book gets you thinking about the meaning of life, as well as contemplating those who have played an important role in your life and what experiences have been the most meaningful to you. If you want to take a deep-dive into near-death experiences (NDEs), The Near-Death Experience is essential reading. Its collection of NDE cases and stories provides a wide range of perspectives. It helps readers think about the phenomenon through many different lenses.

Never mind the movie: the novel is a riveting breakdown of the path from death to an esoteric afterworld. A family man perishes in a traffic smash and materialises in “Summerland”, an upbeat paradise built by the power of thought. But he soon travels to the appropriately grisly “lower realm” to rescue his wife, who in her grief has committed suicide. Matheson’s natural pace, honed through years of churning out horror and science fiction, rescues the narrative from both excessive gloom and new age mulch. Through these stories, James Van Praagh takes the reader on a journey between life and the afterlife. He conveys everything he’s learned from his time in the medium business, from the importance of karma to the dangers of emotional baggage.They told Cherie that they could feel all of their loved one’s emotions and pain and that when a loved one can’t move on, neither could they.

Kagan’s story is one of the most detailed and compelling after-death communication (ADC) stories ever recorded. The story goes beyond the near-death experience to tell Billy’s story of a vivid afterlife. The main character is Jesus but everybody and his friends call him "Chuy." He was a normal boy, ran cross country and did teen things with his friends at school. The story takes place around Fresno California. Along the way you find out the small and big details as Chuy makes his way through purgatory. Sometimes in life there can be times were you wont truly understand, but as time goes on you learn to accept how it is for what it is. In "The Afterlife" by Gary Soto is about a teenage boy who's name is Chuy and he is 17 years old. He goes to night club for a date, but he gets stabbed for telling a guy that he likes his yellow shoes. Then Chuy is dead and is a ghost and sees what his family and other people are doing and what he sees is that all of his family and the girl he was dating were all crying for him. What Chuy realizes is that he could have done alot of things when he was alive that he couldn't do anymore and he regretted it. Then he starts remember his family and how little time he has spent with them and his friends.As she was feeling extremely blissed out, Cherie decided she wanted to stay in the afterlife, but before accepting her decision, the beings wanted to show her a life review. 5.) We Are Here to Grow

It is also interesting to note that every near death experience is going to be different depending on the person and what they need to see, learn and experience. Dr. Michael Newton is a hypnotherapist who has come up with a way to get patients' hidden memories of the afterlife. Journey of Souls is a book written by him. It's a book filled with travel logs from 29 of his patients. Point of View: The story is told through the eyes of the main character, Chuy. He talks in first person, using him, her, etc. I think it makes a significant difference in the story that it’s told from Chuy’s perspective. I say this because it could’ve been told through the eyes of ‘yellow shoes,’ Crystal, Robert, or even his mother. If the story was in the perspective of the murderer Chuy, I’m sure the story would spin in a whole different direction, with different emotions, conflicts, and a whole new line of characters. At that point, it wouldn’t even be about ‘the afterlife’ anymore, because this Chuy is still living, facing more realistic problems. In this nonfiction work, Colton’s father retells the child’s captivating and compelling tale of life after death. It was founded by Dr. Long and his wife, Jody, in 1998. They wanted to make a place where "experiencers" could talk about what they had been through and share their stories.Scientists have said that near-death experiences are not possible, and Dr. Eben Alexander was one of them. As a skilled neurosurgeon, Dr. Alexander understood that NDEs felt real; but he theorized that they were merely hallucinations induced by extreme stress. In fact, years of conditioning around being afraid or fearful of death melted away, and she reported feeling light, free and completely blissed out. Now he's a ghost, figuring out how to be a ghost, and figuring out what it means to be dead (as well as what it meant to be alive, in the first place). Folks compare this to The Lovely Bones since the narrator is a young ghost reflecting on life - but I think the books had some different goals. For me, The Lovely Bones was more about the crime itself and the families pursuit of justice. In many ways, that book is really ALL about the family and how those characters adapt and grow and move on, while the ghost just observes. Raymond Moody, who is known as the "father of the modern NDE movement," presents a groundbreaking scientific study in this book. Life After Death was first published in 1975.
