The Map of Heaven

How Science, Religion, and Ordinary People Are Proving the Afterlife

By: Eben Alexander M.D. M.D.

Narrated by: Eben Alexander M.D. M.D.

The author of the #1 New York Times bestseller 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.

When Dr. Eben Alexander told the story of his near-death experience and his vivid journey to the other side, many readers wrote to say it resonated with them profoundly. Thanks to them, Dr. Alexander realized that sharing his story allowed people to rediscover what so many in ancient times knew: there is more to life, and to the universe, than this single earthly life.

Dr. Alexander and his coauthor Ptolemy Tompkins were surprised to see how often his readers’ visions of the afterlife synced up with each other and with those of the world’s spiritual leaders, as well as its philosophers and scientists. In The Map of Heaven, he shares the stories people have told him and shows how they are echoed both in the world’s faiths and in its latest scientific insights. It turns out there is much agreement, across time and terrain, about the journey of the soul and its survival beyond death.

In this book, Dr. Alexander makes the case for heaven as a genuine place, showing how we have forgotten, but are now at last remembering, who we really are and what our destiny truly is. The Map of Heaven takes the broad view to reveal how modern science is on the verge of the most profound revolution in recorded history—all around the phenomenon of consciousness itself!

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.
