What Dying Taught Me About Living

De: Scott Drummond, Sandy Ponton

Narrado por: Dave Melcher

"I was dead for 20 minutes...this is what I saw."

The glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud. It was like the twinkling of an eye. Suddenly, I was standing in an open field of waist-high grass. It was unique in that the field didn't behave like a normal field of grass. It didn't blow with the wind. In fact, there was no wind to blow the grass, not even a breeze. Instead, it was as if each separate blade was its own entity with its own personality or soul that chose to flow toward me.

I remember reaching my arms out to my sides, running my hands along the tops of the grass, and feeling something so special. It was like each gold-tipped blade was...full of love. I could feel the love coming from the grass. In this place, there was no fear, no judgment, and no pain. Only love. Pure, unconditional love.

My life before this was fraught with selfishness, greed, and a relentless drive for success in business. What I learned most from my experience is to not look back. Don't look back at what you've done in your life. Take a good look at your life as it is today, right now. And start looking toward the future. We can change if we want to.

If you want to make a difference, just be kind to somebody, be kind to a friend, a fellow worker, or a neighbor. Discover the reaction you get by being kind to them. Most people are very defensive, but there's something about love that calms people down. This life isn't about how much we make. It isn't about prestige or power.

It's about the One. It's about each life we can affect with love.

The kindness

I loved how Scott was changed, for the better in kindness, love, and helping others.

Hope and truth

This book offers pure love and hope from our Heavenly Father. Scott tells this story from his heart, sincerely & without guile. This is a beautiful story about an experience one man had when a mistake in the operating room caused his spirit to leave his body for a period of time. The peace and love he felt should give everyone hope about death and take the fear out of it. This story is beautifully written and nicely read. Enjoy!
