Description: There is currently more scientific evidence to the reality of near death experience (NDE) than there is for how to effectively treat certain forms of cancer, states radiation oncologist Dr. Jeffrey Long is his groundbreaking new book Evidence of the Afterlife. In 1998 Dr. Long and his wife, Jody, began the Near Death Experience Research Foundation with the goal of creating a forum for near death experiencers to share their stories. Grounded in first-hand evidence culled from over 1,600 verified NDE accounts, Evidence of the Afterlife presents the strongest argument yet for the underlying truth of those who have died and returned to share their tales.

Review: This book has brought me great comfort and excitement. I grew up in 1950s and 60s England, with a poor and fragmented religious education. By my early 20s whenever I had to fill in a form and it asked for my religion, I put Church of England, not knowing if I believed in religion or not. At the age of 28 after reading Desmond Morris's book, 'Man Watching' I felt enlightened by the science of his work, and I became a convinced atheist. However having had some personal experiences, mainly in vivid dreams, I began to question what was out there. My father was a WW2 soldier and although he never communicated much of what happened during his 5 years of active service, when I asked him if he thought there was a God, he would always reply emphatically that there was. He was not a religious man, I only ever remember going to church with him a couple of times. I know he lost many close friends during his duty and suffered from post traumatic stress for the rest of his life, although he hid it very well from us children. Then I happened to see the TV series, I Survived Beyond and Back. I chose to believe those people's stories as I just felt they were honest. This changed my outlook on the concept of a God, and an after-life and all that may go with it. So now I'm a believer in God, although I shun all religions as inventions of earthly man. My religion is simply a collection of the things I've come across during my life, which I feel I can believe in. This book is as close as anyone can get to proper scientific research on this subject, and I choose, out of logic and my own sense of spiritualism to believe the accounts of the NDErs. I have a friend suffering from cancer who is close to passing on as I write this. I'd discussed with him the concept of an after-life, and he told me a few days ago that on three occasions whilst in the hospice he's seen a beautiful angel with golden hair, wearing a dress covered in butterflies, beckoning him. I choose to believe him, as I choose to believe the accounts in this book. It makes me happier, I have lost the fear of death, not just for myself but for those members of my family. All in all this book has benefited my life and I thank the author for that.

Review: Well I bought this book as a present and picked New which was £8.08 price. When it arrived looked good but on flicking through it had a torn bottom on one of the pages but otherwise fine. It meant that I couldn't give it as a present so have kept it myself as it must be used one. Plus on looking at price it seems to have dropped down from 8.08 to 3.64 for new and 1.64 for used. Therefore I should be owed money back as on my invoice it still down as £8.08.
