"My first experience with 'death' happened on the night of July 2, 1984. Since then, books, movies, and television documentaries have popularized the term "near-death experience" to describe an event that has been experienced by millions of people who have been at death's door. But back in 1984 I was alone with my experience. I couldn't share it with anyone. Coming back from death is a powerful and life-changing experience. Before I came back from death, I was told that I was coming back with a mission in life. My mission was not clearly defined for me at first, but I now find that each and every day it is being defined for me more clearly. The experience has set me upon a path of self-discovery and spiritual enlightenment that continues to provide me with glimpses into the afterlife--glimpses that I would now like to share with you. Prior to finding myself at death's door, I was not by nature inclined to share anything with anybody, but now I believe it is important that I share my experiences with you." --author Ned Dougherty
I believe in NDEs! I found Dougherty's NDE to be a bit different than some of the others I've read. His was the first Catholic version that I have read. His recognition of Our Lady intrigued me. I look forward to receiving a big hug from Jesus!
Amazing, truly amazing that a person such as Ned Daughtery could experience such a life changing experience & bring him closer to God & being able to disassociate himself from his past life. Ned's Near Death Experience is consistent with all of the other NDEs wer read about.
It made me think a lot & brought into mind Many Lives, Many Masters that I read previously.
I rather liked this book. Also, it appears that he might have had some intuition or foresight into the 9/11 tragedy. While I liked the book, what I have read of his outside this book from his website, etc. is not really something that really resonates with me.
