Evidence of the Afterlife: The Science of Near-Death Experiences

By: Jeffrey Long, Paul Perry

Narrated by: Bob Dunsworth

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.

Facts vs. Quality of Listening

The facts that are shared are truly amazing and breathtaking in a way. However, the format and style of presenting "the story" is different from what I expected. It's all about statistics and a very factual attempt to convince the reader/listener to simply accept the significance of research and its conclusions. Everything sounds very trustworthy, but the way it is presented, makes it far less interesting and exciting to listen to. I was somehow disappointed, although I must admit that the stories which are shortly described are simply incredible.

Horrible Narration...

Would you try another book from Jeffrey Long and Paul Perry and/or Bob Dunsworth?

Not a narrated one.

It was good.

He pretty much sounded like a male version of Siri reading a book.

No.

worthwhile read

Is there anything you would change about this book?

It was repetetive, and the reader didn't make clear transitions.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Evidence of the Afterlife: The Science of Near-Death Experiences?

Almost any of the stories of people's experiences - they were all very interesting.

Would you be willing to try another one of Bob Dunsworth???s performances?

depending on the topic, maybe.

Do you think Evidence of the Afterlife: The Science of Near-Death Experiences needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Not really, but if there was a follow up I might be interested in it.

Any additional comments?

The take-home message of the book was well worth putting up with some repetition and wordiness with regard to the proofs.

dying is interesting

it was a struggle to finish this book. it was over my head. interesting, but for someone that can keep up with it.

Intriguing

Amazing evidence. Well written case for NDEs.
The narrator consistently mispronounced medical terminology unfortunately and I found it distracting!
