Review of Proof of Heaven
What happens when you die?
Perhaps you've heard stories about people “walking towards the
light.” Others report feelings of extreme well being. But how
much stock can one put into these reports? A lot, if you ask me,
especially when the report is coming from a neurosurgeon. Proof
of Heaven by Dr. Eben Alexander is the most detailed account of a
near death experience that I have ever been made aware of

After suffering from a rare
illness, Dr. Alexander went into a coma that essentially shut down
the part of the brain that makes us human. During that period, Dr.
Alexander had some very vivid encounters which seem to support the
stories told by others who had near death experiences
What made this account
especially unique is that Dr. Alexander explains his encounters with
the Divine in scientific terms. Originally a doubter of many near
death accounts, Dr. Alexander explains that we really do have a soul
which lives on after our physical body has perished. The best news
is, Dr. Alexander's account seems to confirm there really is a loving
God who cares very deeply for each person.
Dr. Alexander's take away
from his experience reveals some very comforting thoughts such as
there is a God who truly loves us, and we can do no wrong. His tale
was told in very practical terms with a lot of science to back up
what was happening in the physical realm while Dr. Alexander was in
the spiritual domain.
I listened to Proof of
Heaven as an audiobook. Typically, most authors aren't very
skilled when it comes to narration, but Dr. Alexander is a happy
exception. In fact, this story was made all the better by having the
account come directly from the source.
Due to the interesting story
written and outstanding narration, I am awarding Proof of Heaven
by Dr. Eben Alexander a rare five out of five stars on my Goodreads
