Publisher's summary

The author of the number-one New York Times best seller Proof of Heaven teams up with the sages of times past, modern scientists, and with ordinary people who have had profound spiritual experiences to show the reality of heaven and our true identities as spiritual beings.

WhenProof of Heaven was published, some people contacted Dr. Eben Alexander to argue that his near death experience was impossible. But many more have written to say his story resonated with them in profound ways. Because of what these people have told him, Dr. Alexander has come to realize that sharing his story has allowed people to believe what so many in ancient times knew: there is more to life, and to the universe, than this single earthly life.

Dr. Alexander met and heard from thousands of individuals whom his story has affected. He also studied what the world’s religious traditions, and its philosophers, have had to say about the soul’s survival of death, and he has been deeply surprised at how often those voices from the past synch up with what he heard from people today. In The Map of Heaven, he shares some of the stories that the people have told him and links them up with what the world’s spiritual traditions have to say about the journey of the soul.

Part metaphysical detective story, part manual for living, The Map of Heaven explores humankind’s spiritual history and the birth of modern science in the 17th century, showing how we forgot, and are now at last remembering, who we really are and what our true destiny really is.

A great follow up to Proof of Heaven!

This book is a fantastic follow up to Proof of Heaven. There are many applications in this book that make meaning of our every day challenges and life questions.

The depth of this book has confirmed so much that I have felt existed!

After speed reading Dr. Alexander's book, "Proof of Heaven", I couldn't wait to read "The Map of Heaven." It truly confirmed so much of what I had long suspected and brought so much peace to my heart. I too experienced the monarch butterfly's presence as I walked the labyrinth in prayer - I have felt the peaceful and assuring presence of my husband after he died, which certainly has helped me through my grief process. For me, starting a new life without my husband here on earth, was so unsettling - but now with him fully at my side, wherever I am, I feel certain that I will find my way, thanks to the knowledge and my husband is still with me wherever I am. Thank you, Dr. Alexander - it was also good that you were able to read the book to us, it certainly confirms your insights as you verbalized your message.
I will have to dig out a CD that I have around here somewhere which I bought at the Notre Dame Chartes, outside of Paris.... The sound of the organ should now give me new meaning as well! I appreciated that reference in this book.

Not what I expected

The book was indeed good and Dr Alexander was very informative. I just wanted to hear more of afterlife experiences.

WOW!

I read Eban Alexander's previous book, "Proof of Heaven", and loved it. Based on that experience I purchased this audible book. I was not disappointed!Neither will you. I just finished the book for the third time.

Dr Eben's experience is comforting and inspiring!

Excellent book that makes you think what really matters in life.
Dr Alexander is contributing big time with the true idea of the immortal spirit who we really are. Love it!!!

Be open...

Great info. positive, realistic, and edifying!!! Be open and allow for new possibilities. So worth it.

I will reread this book several more times as there is so much to try to absorb. It alines with and greatly expands on many things I have come to believe because of my own life experiences. Literally life-changing. I am so thankful for this extraordinary book!!

Seekers will find something here

I love and believe in Jesus. I also feel like I’m out in the wilderness. If you feel the same, this may resonate with you. It does with me.
