A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife

Publisher's summary

The #1 New York Times bestselling account of a neurosurgeon's own near-death experience—for fans of 7 Lessons from Heaven.

Thousands of people have had near-death experiences, but scientists have argued that they are impossible. Dr. Eben Alexander was one of those scientists. A highly trained neurosurgeon, Alexander knew that NDEs feel real, but are simply fantasies produced by brains under extreme stress.

Then, Dr. Alexander’s own brain was attacked by a rare illness. The part of the brain that controls thought and emotion—and in essence makes us human—shut down completely. For seven days he lay in a coma. Then, as his doctors considered stopping treatment, Alexander’s eyes popped open. He had come back.

Alexander’s recovery is a medical miracle. But the real miracle of his story lies elsewhere. While his body lay in coma, Alexander journeyed beyond this world and encountered an angelic being who guided him into the deepest realms of super-physical existence. There he met, and spoke with, the Divine source of the universe itself.

Alexander’s story is not a fantasy. Before he underwent his journey, he could not reconcile his knowledge of neuroscience with any belief in heaven, God, or the soul. Today Alexander is a doctor who believes that true health can be achieved only when we realize that God and the soul are real and that death is not the end of personal existence but only a transition.

This story would be remarkable no matter who it happened to. That it happened to Dr. Alexander makes it revolutionary. No scientist or person of faith will be able to ignore it. Listening to it will change your life.

The proof of experience cannot be argued. This is a beautiful count of a testimony. I’m thankful that it has been shared with me, and I am thankful for the hope it gives. In a world where everything seems to be falling apart, we can believe in love, the love of Christ!

Glad you survived Dr. Alexander and are here well enough to share these facts with us. continued success and Health to you and your family!

Remarkable

I had the privilege of hearing Dr. Alexander speak a week ago. Then I listened to this book. Inspiring. Unforgettable. May we each do our best and remember to remember.

Pleasant Listening

Narration was not lively or exciting, but he gave it his best. I enjoyed.

Saved my sanity

Without going into a lot of detail, this book offered me tremendous peace after the sudden passing of my daughter. It was playing 24 hours a day for six weeks when I was left alone at home and in deep grief during the shut down. She passed May 2020. She lived with me, and we were closer than anybody would ever imagine possible. There was no service, and no visitors for 3 months. There was only this book. I am deeply grateful to the author.

"Thinking outside the brain" -- loved it!

Much needed perspective and voice in this day and age -- teaching us to how "think outside the brain". Brilliant read!

So Amazing and true

A fantastic look at what is to come for all of
We are all one

At the intersection of science & spirituality,

Great read on someone steeped in scientific physical material world view that experiences a profoundly expanding NDE to realize the large truth in which we live & love.

Riveting Book

I couldn’t stop listening. It was Amazing journey to go on with Eben Alexander. This book is a page turner. I don’t know how anyone can walk away and not believe in heaven.
