Life after Death

The Evidence

By: Dinesh D’Souza

Narrated by: Robertson Dean

Length: 7 hrs and 52 mins

Publisher's summary

Is there life beyond the grave? Is it reasonable to believe in the afterlife? If so, how should we act on those beliefs?

Best-selling author Dinesh D'Souza undertakes an unprecedented voyage of intellectual discovery to reveal the truth about life, death and beyond. Unlike many books about the afterlife, Life After Death makes no appeal to religious faith, divine revelation, or sacred texts. Drawing on some of the most powerful theories and trends in physics, evolutionary biology, science, philosophy, and psychology, D'Souza shows why the atheist critique of immortality is irrational - and draws the striking conclusion that it is reasonable to believe in life after death.

He concludes by showing how life after death can give depth and significance to this life, a path to happiness, and reason for hope.

Critic reviews

"Writing not only for the religious believer but also for the honest seeker, Dinesh D'Souza displays a sophisticated understanding of religion, philosophy, history, and science in making a convincing case for life after death." (Deepak Chopra)

Proof logic favors a creator!

Dinesh D'Souza does an excellent job explaining why an afterlife and a creator as described in the bible are not only possible based on science but probable. It is amazing how atheists have hijacked science and reason, when they stack their entire arguments on scraps of faith much smaller than believers. Any honest person who reads D'Souza's work must ask the question; "why don't we teach intelligent design in high school?" A true scientist has an open mind to all possibilities until factual evidence is presented to support a Theory. Read this book and his other book "What's So Great about Christianity". You will discover that proof of a Godless universe, or a survival of the fittest evolution does not exist.

Very well presented and enlightening

This seemed to be a fair-minded consideration of the scientific, religious and philosophical notions of the existence of an afterlife. The writer is a Christian (I am, too) and I was afraid that there would be more of a proselytizing slant on the discussion. That didn't appear until the very end of the book when his conclusion was that you don't have anything to lose, but everything to gain by accepting the belief in an afterlife, but that you must decide. Not sure I buy that since I don't think you can just "decide" to believe or not believe in something.

Very good and convincing book.

Based on reason and science. This book gives me hope that life continues. For someone who has always doubted , this goes a long way to assuage those doubts.

Disappointingly sloppy arguments

I have multiple issues with the arguments provided in this book. Mostly arguments are very sloppy. For example arguing that brain states and mental states are not related by arguing that they must have all attributes known and identical. The same logic could be used to conclude that nerve states and pain states are unrelated.

Several statements are made about what atheists think or believe. These are often times gross miss characterizations. Admittedly atheists will often do the same thing to believers but that is not an excuse.

After listening to this book I am left questioning the author’s arguments in places where I actually agreed with him in areas such as politics. He has made me question my own thinking in those instances.

challenges "Blind Faith "

If you're interested in understanding the truth this book will show you way!
Brilliantly researched.

I converted from stradling the fence to a believer

Would you consider the audio edition of Life after Death to be better than the print version?

For me it is, I can work it in while driving or working out. The retention is not as good as reading.

What did you like best about this story?

the various examples of believers and non believers

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

crossing through doubt

Any additional comments?

Dinesh must be very bright, certainly can communicate clearly and does not display predjudice

Intellectual Study

I always enjoy reading life after death stories. This was not one of them. This is an intellectual study of religions, non believers and science on the subject at hand. My mind wandered often during the narration. I do not believe this book provided any evidence of life after death as it is left up to the listener what they believe after all of the so called evidence.

decent

For the type of book it is decent to say the least. Would have been better if the narrator was noy monotone and robotic thru the whole book. It is a good listen.

Best so far!

This was the very best read I've experienced so far on Audible! It so complemented & bolstered my Faith.

Fascinating, entertaining!

What a great book, I highly recommend! Easy to follow yet very very thought provoking, a breath of fresh air!
