Glimpses of Eternity: New Near Death Experiences

Glimpses of Eternity: New Near Death Experiences by Gibson, Arvin S.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780882904399.

Glimpses of Eternity offers significant new insights concerning life after death. The book reports more than forty first-person accounts of individuals who died, went into the Spirit World, and then returned to mortality. Scientists call such events a near-death experience (NDE). Research has been undertaken on this subject in many studies during recent decades. These new accounts confirm past findings, but also report dramatic unexpected results which havent been previously identified. The author conducted carefully structured interviews with individuals who had journeyed beyond the veil. The exact transcriptions of these interviews are presented in the first half of the book. Then, portions of the various accounts are compiled and analyzed for the doctrinal implications they contain. These two approaches combine to make this intriguing book a powerful witness that life continues after death and that death should not be feared. As one lady stated: "Death is ... nothing to be feared. Its an awakening ..." This book, prepared with careful observance of the principles of empirical research, is a major contribution to the field of near-death research. It also supplies answers to many LDS questions about entry into the Spirit World: lifes purpose, the "light" and "tunnel," the "life review" judgment before Jesus Christ, the power and love of God, and differing views of the spirit world and of human destiny. It suggests an eternal pain-free life filled with light, truth, knowledge, growth, creating, and exuberant joy.
