Proof of Heaven
Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife by Dr. Eben Alexander. This book got many votes in 2013 when it appeared as a top non-fiction pick. It is about a brain surgeon’s near death experience. “This book had tremendous impact on me. Of course, Scientific American is discounting everything in it. I read it after a good friend died and shortly after the terrible tragedy in Connecticut occurred. As I watched the Rabbi, Priests, Ministers, etc., give their eulogies, it just was so clear to me that they were all praying to the same ‘person.’ Alexander's writing simplifies things in a way that gave me a language to explain these two events to myself and to my children. Highly recommend for anyone who is struggling or suffering from a loss.” “This book doesn't constitute ‘proof,’ but it's an interesting addition to the literature on this topic. The author makes his case from his perspective as a neurosurgeon who underwent a critical illness and had a near death experience.”
