All spiritual traditions recognize appearances by the holy dead sent as God's messengers. Of special interest to Christians and all open-minded inquirers are the appearances of verified, primarily Western, saints and mystics in the past one hundred and fifty years.

Included are chapters of after-death appearances from all major traditions, showing that these are indeed universal experiences.
