Both a near-death survivor and a near-death researcher, Atwater reveals what isn't being said about the near-death experience. She challenges the stereotype of the "amazing grace" tunnel of light accompanied by a feeling of well-being, and she reveals evidence of hell-like and alien experiences.

An intellectual tour de force; the most comprehensive reference book for the near-death phenomenon. The Big Book of Near-Death Experiences encompasses every aspect of the near-death phenomenon: the experience, aftereffects, and implications. Atwater's simple, appealing format includes drawings and cartoons by Spirit Painter and Chuck Vadun and sidebars from experts. She investigates and reports on the power of changed lives, the reality of deceased who come back, visitors at death's edge, out-of-body travel, the expansion of normal faculties, the awesome presence of Deity and the importance of spirituality.

Cherie Sutherland shares her near-death experience and presents those of twenty men, women, and children, in a collection that describes how each felt, what they witnessed, and why they came back willingly or unwillingly.

The Day I Died brings together 10 profoundly moving testimonies from people who have passed through the limits of human endurance and beyond. Around the world, ordinary people go about their daily lives convinced they've had a glimpse into the afterlife. Their eyewitness accounts often share uncanny similarities, and this book does justice to this beguiling subject by analyzing narratives and shedding light on a phenomenon at the crossroads of the medical and the mystical. Tammy Cohen presents several intriguing real-life accounts, including a man who "died" on the operating table and awoke with increased psychic abilities, a victim of domestic abuse who had a life-changing unusual out-of-body experience, plus stories from people who had "drowned" and "died" of heart attacks. Powerful, challenging, and endlessly fascinating, The Day I Died celebrates both pleasurable and distressing near-death experiences.
