"Bait and switch. Big time. This book is pitched as a story about a man's near death experience. It turns out that it's really a synopsis of his theology. Once I got over the anger, I did read it for what it is. It took a big mindset change, however. Each paragraph was like a mini sermon related to some aspect of Storm's theology. For a brief rundown on one Christian's theology, it was very clear, concise, and thorough. There were some beliefs that I found interesting and thought-provoking. The story did make me curious about NDEs of peoples without a Western background and whether their NDEs have the same imagery. Not sure I'll ever be curious enough to find out, but I guess one day I'll know."
"Another NDE book, but I really loved this one, I'm not sure why. I'm going to buy it. It has a similar message and similar experiences, the life review, the love of Jesus, the return and the difficult adjustment to 'real' life. However, parts of it were so touching and the way he has drastically changed his life (from atheist to Christian minister) seems profound. What I learned from this book: I guess I learned what I learn from every NDE book I read except it came across very powerfully with this one. It made me look more closely at myself and want to be more fully present with my loved ones, esp. my kids and husband. It made me realize that all life is made up of is small moments and if you try to choose love in each moment despite what stresses you are experiencing then you will have led a successful life. (I know, I know I just wrote a bunch of meaningless New Age cliches...words fail) Harold Storm, the author, was a college professor and a sculptor and an atheist, but when he died and watched his life review with the angels and Jesus, he learned things that made him change his life. Now he is a Christian minister. The life review was illuminating in what was shown to him and what was eliminated. The parts that they watched were how his relationships with other people played out. The family he was born into and how they shaped him and then his own family and how his choices affected them. His career as an artist was not important. Jesus told him his job here on earth was simply to love the people he came in contact with. There are a lot of neat descriptions of what heaven is like. Also, a description of life on earth when Christ returns, which the angels told him won't happen for another 200 years, by the way. Personally I was rooting for 2012.
Check out the other reviews of this book, most people loved it as much as I did."
"This book had me really interested in the beginning, but then it turned pretty Godly, and I'm just not at that point in my life. I actually skipped quite a few pages. I wouldn't reccomend it if you're not already a complete believer or looking to "find" God. I was hoping it would shed some light for me, but only made me more skeptical, I'll have to keep searching for an answer!"
"This book was amazing. It rises above every other Near Death Experience book that I've ever picked up, in that the author - who was an atheist when he died- came to love and accept totally the person of Jesus Christ through his experience. This is what makes me inclined to believe the claims he makes about the worlds after death. Having said that, I can't imagine any of the Christians I know who would like or accept the things he says, as he goes far out of the box of traditional thinking. You'll have to read it for yourself, and hold it up against Scripture to see whether you want to believe the things he says for yourself. It's an easy, single-afternoon read, and I can't recommend it enough."
