description

In Life After Life Raymond Moody investigates more than one hundred 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 forever changed the way we understand both death -- and life -- selling millions of copies to a world hungry for a greater understanding of this mysterious phenomenon.

recommends it for: readers who are interested in life after death
I have read many of Raymond Moody's books that refer to individual stories about people all over the world - poor/rich, educated/illiterate, and civilized/uncivilized - that have experienced near death experiences. Even though they live in different parts of the world and have experienced different experiences and have different faiths - they all seem to have similar near death experiences. My brother recommended this author and I am truly glad that I read some of his work.

The grandfather of the near-death experience books, which allowed people to come forward with stories of their experiences, which before (and even now) were criticized or denied by those around them. Worth reading.

Read in October, 1988
The seminal work on near-death experiences. After having read all I've read, I've become really skeptical about the whole thing, but this book is fairly convincing, more so than most.

You won't be afraid of death ever again if you read this book (even if you're not "religious").

It had a kind of beauty to it, but Ockham's razor cut it to ribbons. Pretty ribbons.
