Publisher Description
THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING ACCOUNT OF A NEUROSURGEON'S OWN NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE.
Internationally acclaimed neurosurgeon Dr Eben Alexander always considered himself a man of science. His unwavering belief in evidence-based medicine fuelled a career in the top medical institutions of the world. But all this was set to change.
One morning in 2008 he fell into a coma after suffering a rare form of bacterial meningitis. Scans of his brain revealed massive damage. Death was deemed the most likely outcome. As his family prepared themselves for the worst, something miraculous happened. Dr Alexander's brain went from near total inactivity to awakening. He made a full recovery but he was never the same. He woke certain of the infinite reach of the soul, he was certain of a life beyond death.
In this astonishing book, Dr Alexander shares his experience, pieced together from the notes he made as soon as he was able to write again. Unlike other accounts of near-death experiences, he is able to explain in depth why his brain was incapable of fabricating the journey he experienced. His story is one of profound beauty and inspiration.

Interesting
Worth reading but I think it leaves a lot of questions unanswered - perhaps not 'proof' of Heaven?
Proof of Heaven
A truly fascinating book - read in one sitting. Nothing I can ever claim to have experienced but something that has always intrigued humanity and which mankind will forever question. I don't doubt Eben Alexander's experience for an instant. I did feel his frustration at trying to find the words to describe his experience and understand how difficult it was not to make it sound mundane or fanciful.
Excellent
I was hooked from beginning to end
