Deathbed Experiences as Evidence for the Afterlife, Volume 1: A Groundbreaking, Scientific Apologetic, Evaluating Studies of Extraordinary ... and Children’s Experiences at Death

The thesis of this book is quite simple and intuitive: If you want to look for evidence for the afterlife, observe the dying, to see if there’s any indication that they’re going somewhere. Researchers are finding that several experiences related to death are global and quite common, including: Primary Deathbed Experiences, where over 80% of the dying in a hospice unit report vivid experiences with deceased relatives and angels Terminal Lucidity, where people lose brain function over time, only to regain full consciousness to say their goodbyes before dying Shared Death Experiences, where healthy people experience a part of their loved one’s death experience Crisis Apparitions, where people otherwise unaware of a person’s death somehow know of the person’s death After Death Communications, where people claim to receive visits from deceased loved ones.To discover if these can be explained away as lies, exaggerations, or hallucinations, highly respected intellects, connected to many of our top universities, have studied phenomena at death for significant portions of their lives and assessed them for afterlife evidence. Dr. Miller, in a winsome, popular style, discusses many studies and documented reports that point towards an afterlife.\nTestimonies about His Book, From Both Volumes or the Original Dissertation\nThis extraordinary book will set the agenda for future studies of the phenomena associated with “life after death” or “deathbed experiences.”....\nAs a semi-retired scientist, a physicist/engineer with a long history of interest in not only science but also philosophy, I was privileged to receive a nearly final Advance Review Copy from Prof. Miller, an acquaintance through internet correspondence.\nI spent decades as an agnostic, only recently returning to the Christian faith. Professor Miller’s book is so well-argued that it has moved me from hoping there is a life after death to expecting that there is, being only somewhat short of certain....
This profound and carefully researched book will encourage all who hope for a life after death in the presence of a just and benevolent God.\nDouglas Winslow Cooper, Ph.D.

Harvard University\nWho knew that many of our most respected educators and scientists, teaching in our most highly respected universities, have been studying an experience that provides evidence for the afterlife? The implications for finding life's purpose, counseling the grieving, caring for the dying, and establishing a personal worldview are nothing less than astounding.
