内容説明
Author P. M. H. Atwater knows what it's like to die. And the experience so changed her life that she has devoted years to researching the phenomenon of the Near-Death Experience. From her own encounter with life-after-death and from interviews with hundreds of others, she presents this remarkable and reassuring vision into a world beyond the one we know:
What it feels like to die
What awaits us after we see the light
Why many who are rescued from death don't want to come back
Why some people encounter hellish experiences
How life changes after a Near-Death Expenerience
And much more! --このテキストは、絶版本またはこのタイトルには設定されていない版型に関連付けられています。
From Publishers Weekly
Claiming to be a three-time near-death survivor, Atwater ( Coming Back to Life ) presents this study of near-death experience based on 700 interviews she conducted. She questions the accounts of a "tunnel of light accompanied by feelings of well-being" frequently reported; rather, she discusses the "hell-like" experiences she has discovered. She also delves into the psychological and physiological aftereffects--the "brain is physically changed after a near-death episode." Unfortunately, Atwater does not clearly define death; only at times is she is in accord with the medical definition. The text roams over areas of theology, metaphysics and even touches on space aliens and their possible role in near-death experiences, leaving the reader to wonder how any of this applies to our spiritual development, as Atwater claims. Illustrations. 35,000 first printing.

Revealing new information but too much personal opinion.
1999/9/21
形式:ペーパーバック
As a near-death experiencer I am always interested in reading other's near-death experiences. One half of this book or less is devoted to that, and I wish it were more. But the experiences included were of a variety that we don't hear enough about or at all, such as: near-death like experiences when one's life is not lost or endangered; hellish or unpleasant experiences; and seeing long lost pets or other animals. This book is also a wealth of references to sources on every possible subject relating to this subject. It, unfortunately, contains far too much personal opinion and interpretation and unfounded and biased commentary. To the author I would say, just give the information and let the reader form their own opinions. There were also some outlandish statements that are unlikely to be truly known or for which no substantiation is provided. Such as (paraphrased) we are being prepared for higher awareness evidenced by the fact that more people today than those before 1850 recognize the color blue. (!) Or (paraphrased) it is estimated that far more people have near-death experiences while temporarily dead than believe they do, but they don't know they did because they forgot. If someone has no memory of having a near-death experience, how can another decide that they had one but just forgot?

Confusing book
2002/10/14
形式:ハードカバー
I divide Atwater's book into two parts. The first half is an interesting overview of the near-death experience (NDE). The second half deals with New Age-like, occult-like issues that depart from NDE. The second section is so New Age-y and off-the-point (and so counter to my beliefs religious and otherwise), that I could only stand to thumb through it. This half of the book contains the silly remarks that draw many complaints in reviews. The purpose of the book really seems to promote interest in all sorts of occult practices (especially in light of her anti-Christian attitude, described below, and her occupation as a psychic advisor and as a writer in occult topics). My questioning of her motive for this "bait-and-switch" book is supported by her wanderings into non-NDE topics (such as the alien abduction) and her claims to have had every type of paranormal experience (including both types of "walk in" phenomena: now that she has a different soul, doens't that make her a different person?).
Secondly, I object to Atwater's contemporary politically correct way of joyfully respecting all belief systems and cultures except for Christianity. Christians come in all varieties and cannot be stereotyped. In every reference to Christians the tension begins and Ms. Atwater never misses an opportunity to stab them in the back and twist the knife. She can't be respectful to Christianity at all for one second. Not once. I think that this blind anger invalidates her overall judgment and might turn readers away from more NDE research. How can I trust someone whose writing is always biased and whose conclusions are partial? Real research must be objective, but Atwater redefines the word.

Quite Good
2000/12/18
形式:ペーパーバック
One of the most astonishing things about the book was the jealousy the author speaks of. If NDEs are short voyages to death and the experience generally develops one's personality and conscience, it is interesting to see experiencers who are still selfish and go after fame and success in a very negative manner.
I loved the book, because I believe the author is open and sincere with her subject. I am reading the Complete Idiot's Guide... right now and it is as good as this one.
