The Transformative Power of Near-Death Experiences: How the Messages of NDEs Can Positively Impact the World
An “enthralling” study of the far-reaching positive effects of Near-Death Experiences—a “well-written and thought-provoking book” (Anita Moorjani, author of Dying to Be Me )
Near-death experiences (NDEs) are often transformative—not only on an individual level, but on a collective level too. This book contains a selection of inspiring stories from ordinary people whose extraordinary experiences have changed the course and direction of their lives, opening each and every one of them to the power of divine love.
Recent years have seen a dramatic change of attitude towards NDEs. Unfortunately, the ongoing debates about NDEs have detracted greatly from their transformational effects and how empowering they can be for the whole of mankind. For those who experience them, NDEs often instill the knowledge that we are all interconnected and part of one great whole.
This book aims to inspire people from all walks of life, creeds, cultures, and faiths to the transformational power of the message of NDEs—and to show how the love experienced during the NDE has the capacity to heal minds, bodies and souls.

Wonderful book. Little repeatitive in the conclusion but the individual NDE accounts are amazing and comforting.

This book sucked. Most of the essays weren’t very well written and the person who assisted in compiling the essays, Dr Penny Sartori, thought it was a swell idea to summarize each essay in her own words for some horrific reason known only to her.
I think I have OCD, and I have to read every page of a book to consider it “read” so I forced myself to read every one of her totally unnecessary summaries even though they filled me with rage.
The coauthor of this collection of dross is a lady named Kelly Walsh who had a near death experience after she tired to kill herself and then ended up in a mental hospital.
She started some “Positivity Power Movement,” and I looked it up to see whatever became of it, and guess what? She killed herself.
This is a terrible collection of near death experience essays because they are all boring and most of them are poorly written and some of the writers of the essays sound insane.
I have read a lot of near death experience books. I recommend that if someone would like to read a good book about near death experiences they read one written by Dr Kenneth Ring. He is most excellent.
Meanwhile, this book was only 2/5 stars

Easy read with a few interesting tidbits. Nothing new or in depth.

I find near death experiences both fascinating and enlightening, and I've been learning more and more about them, as religion and spirituality have always been important to me and are at the core of what I write as an author myself. The individual stories are broken up into chapters here, and they are the reason to read the book. The rest is repetitive.
Never in my life have I read a book that begins with a preface, a forword, a prologue, AND an introduction, and ends with a post-script, a conclusion, an epilogue, AND an afterword. As a reader, it makes you feel as if the book is never truly going to start and will never end. Additionally, each chapter is summed up at the end by Penny Sartori, and we really don't need a recap of what we just read. It makes the book drag on and on, and it took me around a month to finish it.
I do recommend the book for the NDE stories themselves, but I would skip through the rest. The NDEs can stand on their own and are enough to demonstrate their transformative power, as the title suggests.

Had some interesting pearls of wisdom but some very bizarre accounts of after death experiences.
“That I with God, angels and the entire universe, have created my life for the expansion and transformation of my already eternal soul. Trust the process. “
“ unconditional love for all beings brings a reverence for all life and removes the want for others to be something they are not.”

Very Good Book, provides a new perspective to a certain "future", it is easyer not to fear "something", you may understand better. Provides an other point of view, an open mind! I do recomend

Worthwhile read. Explores how lives have changed post NDE in several people. A bit new-agey for some tastes.

NDEs have always fascinated me and this book is good but it is also one of those books that you have to put down, do an emotional lap to process, and then pick up to continue reading

Solid. If this is your first book about near-death experiences, this would be a good choice. But I didn't find anything new or different here that I hadn't previously read in other books about NDEs.

I have always had an interest in spirituality, but never spent a significant amount of time reading up on Near Death Experiences.
However, I was at my local bookstore recently, and found this well researched book on Near Death Experiences. It has several accounts from people who temporarily passed away, visited the afterlife, but then came back to life. Many of them have changed in big ways from this visit to the afterlife.
It has been a very interesting read. It definitely opened up my eyes in a lot of ways and made me rethink what I thought I knew about the reality we live in.
Great research by the people who wrote this, finding and interviewing so many people who had NDE's to learn about their experiences and write it.
The two researchers who wrote this book are on a mission to study and write about as many NDE's as they can, because they believe there is life after death, and they want to make more people aware of this.
As someone who is interested in spirituality, but have not spent much time reading up on NDE's, I believe it's a great mission these two researchers are on.
It was also good for me to read a book this deep and different to the books I normally read. I highly recommend this for anyone who is wondering is more to life than what we see around us, or what happens after we die.
