Publisher's Summary
The most compelling scientific evidence for life beyond death ever compiled.
Evidence of the Afterlife shares the firsthand accounts of people who have died and lived to tell about it. Through their work at the Near Death Experience Research Foundation, radiation oncologist Jeffrey Long and his wife, Jody, have gathered thousands of accounts of near-death experiences (NDEs) from all over the world. In addition to sharing the personal narrative of their experiences, visitors to the website are asked to fill out a one hundred-item questionnaire designed to isolate specific elements of the experience and to flag counterfeit accounts.
The website has become the largest NDE research database in the world, containing over 1,600 NDE accounts. The people whose stories are captured in the database span all age groups, races, and religious affiliations and come from all over the world, yet the similarities in their stories are as awe-inspiring as they are revealing. Using this treasure trove of data, Dr. Long explains how medical evidence fails to explain these reports and why there is only one plausible explanation?that people have survived death and traveled to another dimension.

"comprehensive"
I have read several books in search of this one. This book compiles many nde's and then examines them and compares them. It is hard to believe it has taken this long for this type of study to have been done, but now that it has everyone should read it. The message found in this study is not new, however the source is.
Cant wait for next book.16 of 16 people found this review helpful -
"UPLIFTING! Loved this well researched book !"
I bought this on a whim, and was very pleasantly surprised! I came away feeling hopeful and light. This year personally for me has brought death up close and personal, and this book was like listening to a gift. The author, being a very respected clinician, was also beneficial when processing this book. He did not shy away from explaining why some people do not believe in NDE, and examining their reasons in an intelligent manner.

"Too much technical and not enough evidence"
What did you like best about Evidence of the Afterlife: The Science of Near-Death Experiences? What did you like least?I felt the author spend most of the time discussing near death experiences and the similarity between various accounts. I did not have the distinct understanding of true life after death after reading this book.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?Not memorable.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?No

"Interesting listen"
I was engrossed and interested in the book. Ant then I got to the part where he was discussing how patients under general anesthesia were recalling what the staff did during a code. About the 10th time he pronounced anesthesia "Anastasia" I had to click the off button and stop listening.

"Credible and compelling first-hand accounts"
Would you listen to Evidence of the Afterlife: The Science of Near-Death Experiences again? Why?No.
This book needs a better narrator.
One who is committed to the material.
What did you like best about this story?Many, many amazing first hand accounts of near death experiences from all walks of life, all ages, all religions and from across many cultures.
The author relies on statistics and a scientific approach to prove his points...but the stories from the people who have had the experience don't need statistics for proof. The proof is in the stories themselves.
If you are a skeptic...? Good luck with this one.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Bob Dunsworth?Someone who is committed to relaying the author's message: Evidence of the Afterlife
Bob Dunsworth has an excellent voice, but he did a poor job on this book.
Too often, Bob's excellent voice is just reading words on a page ... with little regard or apparent interest in their meaning and significance.
He reads past periods and at times he walks all over the content.
It was like having an agnostic reading the Bible ...or any other spiritual message.
Stop briefly for a period, Bob. Take a breath beyween sentences ... it is not a race to the finish of the book.
Understand & believe in what you read ... or don't read it.
FINALLY: Please look up the pronunciation of word "anesthesia" ... a much used and important word in the book ... which was mispronounced hundreds of times.
What you will find: [an-uhs-thee-zhuh] not [an-uhs-thay-zhuh].
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?Evidence of the Afterlife: The Science of Near-Death Experiences
Any additional comments?Excellent content. Amazing research. Well founded conclusions.

"Speed listening"
The speaker talked way too fast...felt I was speed listening with no time to absorb the info. Book has way to many facts, numbers and percentages...add in speed reading equals low rating. Disappointing as I am really interested in subject matter.

Who was your favorite character and why?There are so many characters presented in the book that it would be hard to say.
Have you listened to any of Bob Dunsworth’s other performances before? How does this one compare?This is the first book that I that I have had the privilege to listen to by him.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?It didn't make me laugh or cry but it's open my eyes to a whole new realm of possibilities.
Any additional comments?I would consider this book to be well worth the time and money that I invested in it and would recommend it to everyone.

"There is a Hereafter!"
This book may very well change the way you look look at religion and death. Personally I have always been a bit skeptical about life after death and near death experiences. I have always wondered whether it was not just wishful thinking and fantasies of a dying brain.
I must say after reading this book I have had to revise my opinion and it has given me great comfort as I have just lost a person dear to me.
I would strongly recommend it as it is fairly soundly based on scientific method and not just a romantic excursion into a controversial topic.3 of 4 people found this review helpful -
