This review is from: Glimpsing Heaven: The Stories and Science of Life After Death (Kindle Edition)
If such is possible for a non-fiction book, this
one is a page turner. The subject is one everybody has pondered: What
happens when we die? A serious journalist, using myriad interviews,
offers surprising answers. (And a white light is NOT from a lack of
oxygen!) Her interview subjects -- doctors, neuroscientists, people who
have come back from death -- have surprising and persuasive things to
say. Bachrach moves beautifully from one chapter to the next. She is not
selling a point of view, but rather revealing information that is hard
to come by -- some of it, I'm willing to bet, previously unknown to most
people. I began reading as a skeptic and amazingly (to me) gradually
found it possible to believe that Death is nothing to fear and can, in
fact, can be... well, heavenly. If you have ever wondered what happens
when we die, this is the book for you. It can change your mind about all
that you thought you believed.
