In Children of the New Millennium, P.M.H. Atwater, Lh.D., presents the first serious look at the near-death experiences of children. Atwater believes these millennial children--who possess heightened sensory and empathic abilities acquired at birth or as a result of the near-death experience--herald the presence of a new race of people on Earth. This groundbreaking book explores how these special children will dramatically impact the human condition by helping humankind rediscover the spiritual truths needed to survive in our radically changing world.

Review
"P.M.H. Atwater's book is a treasure trove of valuable confirmation. As usual, she is on the cutting edge of near-death research. Her book is fascinating. If you think you have heard everything about NDEs, you need to read this book."
-- Melvin Morse, M.D., author of Closer to the Light
"P.M.H. Atwater has been a dedicated researcher in the NDE field for over twenty years and with Children of the New Millennium [she] has once again broken into new territory. P.M.H. has written the first comprehensive NDE research that deals with children. Her work on aftereffects is unparalleled."
-- Diane Corcoran, president, International Association for Near-Death Studies
"Over the past twenty years, P.M.H. Atwater has been an innovative, creative, and well-documented author in the field of near-death studies and parapsychology. This book is another of her outstanding contributions."
-- E. W. Fenske, Ph.D.
"Once again P.M.H. Atwater pushes the envelope of near-death and transformational studies. Children of the New Millennium examines children's near-death and similar experiences through the children's own eyes and voices, [which] challenges us to rethink what we thought we knew about these vital phenomena. . . . Atwater gives us a provocative new perspective on child development and humanity's future."

new insights of our children,
By A Customer
This review is from: Children of the New Millennium: Children's Near-Death Experiences and the Evolution of Humankind (Paperback)
Great book showing a positive future. One of the few books that does not forcast doom. I loved the book. I would also recommend the book An Encounter with a Prophet.

Fascinating and Mind-Stretching,
By Barbara R. Rommer, M.D., author of: Blessing... (Fort Lauderdale, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Children of the New Millennium: Children's Near-Death Experiences and the Evolution of Humankind (Paperback)
P.M.H. Atwater is a well-respected long time researcher on the subject of Near-Death Experiences (NDEs). Her fascination for the subject originated with her own multiple NDEs. Children of the New Millenium is the most complete work, to date, dealing with the NDEs of children. Dr. Atwater feels that transformation of consciousness, regardless of the cause (including NDEs) is a "structural, chemical, and functional change that occurs in the brain." She states: "This sudden change, sometimes akin to a quantum leap, flings the experiencer from one mode of existence to another - as if on cue....I call the phenomenon a brain shift/spirit shift." She feels that the "brain shift", in particular, is affected to a greater degree in children than in adults, "propelling them into abstractions and learning enhancements". She presents an excellent and thorough discussion of all aspects of the characteristics and many possible after-effects of the NDE in children. She then compares and contrasts these with the changes commonly seen after adult NDEs. As well, there is an excellent presentation of four phases in the process of integration which she sees the child experiencers undergoing after the event. She has documented an average of 15 years for children, as opposed to an average of 7 years for adults, to integrate the NDE into their lives. Dr. Atwater obviously loves children. She is fascinated with, and respects, what those child NDErs can teach us all. She shares more directly quoted childhood NDEs than can be found in any other source including my own book which is Blessing in Disguise: Another Side of the Near-Death Experience (Llewellyn 2000). She also includes many of the sketches that the children drew of their events. Her statement that: "The child you get back after a near-death episode is a remodeled, rewired, reconfigured, refined version of the origional" certainly piqued my interest! This book also addresses a multiplicity of other fascinating subjects such as pre-birth memories, reincarnation, future memory, a review of the author's classification of four types of NDEs, and even alien abduction to name a few. There is something for every reader of every background. Whether or not you are open to the concept of alien existence and/or abduction, and whether or not you accept the author's theory of brain shift/spirit shift, the fact remains that the absolute merit of this book is the wealth of information it contains, especially about childhood NDEs, their after-effects, and their impact on us all. Most of us have come to agree that we most certainly are all interconnected to each other and to that Energy Source which created us. Therefore, what happens to one of us (including the child NDEr) will ultimately impact us all. Whether or not the author's theories resonate with your own, I believe that you will find them as intriguing as I have. This is a fascinating mind-stretching work!

Handfuls of challenging, thought provoking concepts .,
By A Customer
This review is from: Children of the New Millennium: Children's Near-Death Experiences and the Evolution of Humankind (Paperback)
P.M.H. Atwater's interview style, relating detailed accounts of the children who have had Near Death Experiences, is compelling testimony, as well as the foundation of her concept of what the Millemium holds for those who wish to look. Momentous and hopeful, this book is for those who like to think "outside the box" and who enjoy that kind of challenge in their thinking and reading.
