Publisher's summary

In Life after Life, Raymond Moody investigates more than 100 case studies of people who experienced "clinical death" and were subsequently revived. First published in 1975, this classic exploration of life after death started a revolution in popular attitudes about the afterlife and established Dr. Moody as the world's leading authority in the field of near-death experiences.

Life after Life sold millions of copies and forever changed the way we understand both death and life. The extraordinary stories presented here provide evidence that there is life after physical death, as Moody recounts the testimonies of those who have been to the "other side" and back, all bearing striking similarities. These moving and inspiring accounts give us a glimpse of the peace and unconditional love that await us all.

A classic, worth listening to for that reason.

The narrator is far better suited to the reading of fiction. At times, the vocal technique was distracting and even annoying. The narrator would continue a line until his breath was completely used up, giving a pressed quality to his speech. This detracted from the flow of information that was inherent in the text. It is worthwhile to persist in listening, however, since Moody's book is considered foundational in the area of near-death studies.

Very informative; it held my interest!

If you could sum up Life after Life in three words, what would they be?

Very informative; it held my interest from beginning to the end!

What did you like best about this story?

The subject matter is something I've been studying for a number of years, especially since I had an acute stroke and realized how near the end my life has become.

For us you to think beyond secular reasoning

A pioneering work in the subject of life after death. It's fascinating in concept as well as analysis on how close-minded modern humans have become.

Well Rounded Perspective

Dr. Moody explores NDEs and considers all possibilities to explain NDEs. The conclusion that what is experienced during a NDE is very real gives hope to those grieving or those fearing death.

a classic!

this was the original book written on near-death experiences and if you're interested in the subject this is a must-read just to get the initial ideas that Raymond Moody had about the subject I highly recommend it.

Interesting Book

The book presents theory and case studies arpund an interesting topic. The cases are intriguing to hear regardless of personal belief in the theory as being truthful or not.
