"Surviving Death is a sensational book certain to affect our views of life and death as profoundly as did Betty Eadie's bestseller Embraced by the Light. Psychic researcher Geoff Viney provides a fascinating new look at the reality of life after death - through examination of scientific evidence, psychic phenomena, and myth." "What really happens when we die? Perhaps no other question has so obsessed people since the beginning of time. Although skeptics claim that death represents the absolute extinction of life, there is overwhelming evidence that proves otherwise. In presenting this evidence, Geoff Viney puts the concept of death itself on trial, using as his witnesses the countless individuals who have experienced some sort of personal contact with the afterlife, contact that has resulted in momentous changes in the quality of their own lives:" "With the advance of modern medical technology, thousands of people have been brought back from the brink of death, some after having been literally certified dead. From this group, many have recorded incredible out-of-body voyages during which they encountered long-lost loved ones and glimpsed a mysterious, beautiful, and oddly serene landscape." "Children who are convinced they have lived a former existence in a different time have substantiated their claims with irrefutable knowledge of specific historical periods that was unavailable to them through any conventional explanation." "With this new understanding of exactly what the afterlife means, the concept of ghosts and poltergeists loses its fearsome aspect and becomes one of spiritual transition and questing." "In much the same way that Raymond Moody's Life After Life brought renewed hope to those who read it, Geoff Viney's Surviving Death - by revealing in fascinating detail people's amazing, real encounters with the "supernatural" - offers a new alternative to the age-old definition of death."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
