No matter who you are, no matter what your beliefs and background may be, you are sure to be moved by this unusual book.

Through first-hand accounts in personal interviews, Eliot Jay Rosen reveals intimate details of many individuals' experiences of the soul. Each account is enlightening and entertaining, and like those who had these experiences, you may well find after reading this exceptional book that your life will never be the same.

From the moment I opened this book up I knew it I was for me. Anyone who has questions about what life is all about will be greatly helped and influenced by this book. I am involved with the Hospice in my provence and it has helped me alot.I open it up eveyday and there is messages and help with my Spiritual growth. Thank You Eliot. Youre book is a must!!!

Rosen suceeded in integration of NDEs found in holy scriptures and those experienced by average people during cardiac arrest or some other undesired accident. The often present controversies look less striking after this book is read and the reader finds this masterpiece exciting enough to look for more, no matter if the subject sometimes looks frightening. All those that ever faced death personally or through suffering of their dear ones should read this book.

As probably the only species on this planet who actually knows we have to die one day, that we and the world we know one day will disappear, it seems that thoughts about death have occupied the human mind for aeons.

In recent years on one hand old beliefs in 'Heaven and Hell' has dwindled, and on the other some startling new evidence has appeared for life after death, in the form of near-death experiences and experiences from meditation, hypnosis and psychedelics.

This well-produced books is a fascinating collection of interviews with spiritual people who has thought deeply over the matter. Here is Dalai Lama, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, Stanislav Grof, Ram Dass, Stephen Levine, Kenneth Ring, Anya Foos-Garber a.m.o.. Insightfull people from different spiritual traditions, and certainly not agreeing with each other, which make for a stimulating and challenging read.

But they all agree that it is actually highly improbably that death is the kind of final end that materialistic science predicts.

Not that 'you' and 'I' will continue after the body's decay, but that the spirit/soul/consciousness in some form will. And perhaps from the highest perspective both Life and Death are illusory phenomenon seen from Eternity.

This book is excellent. The contents exceeded my expectations. It is obvious to anyone who reads the book that it took a great deal of effort, devotion and love to create such a comprehensive volume. It's a significant contribution to the field of current day spirituality.

--Bill Guggenheim III, author of Hello From Heaven

I found myself immersed in the content, reading each chapter with great anticipation. Each of the summaries were full of valuable and revealing material. In every chapter, Eliot had a very creative sequence of interviews linked to the next section, making the reading interesting. The book is well written, it presents the most outstanding review of very well known and respected individuals in the field of thantology.

Dr.Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, author, psychiatrist/thanatologist

"A worthwhile commentary by dying patients, thanatologists and others interested in the process of death and grief. This touching collection of experiences by dying patients and people who have had near-death experiences will help those who are still afraid of death and dying."

From Bonnie Lindstrom--Executive Director, Cedars Sinai Medical Center Hospice Program

Presented in a professional and non-judgemental style, Experiencing the Soul, will both fascinate and inspire the reader. Author Eliot Jay Rosen has sought out several of the most influential leaders in the field to share a glimpse of their view into the soul. He does this without pretense, but with an open heart. It is a book to be digested slowly and introspectively.

This is an enlightening and insightful query into the subject of death and dying. Powerful. Provocative. Offers consoling thoughts and insights for anyone experiencing a loved one's transitioning.

A heart-soaring experience which holds a mirror that allows us to see humanity at its very best.--Stephen Simon, producer of What Dreams May Come and Somewhere in Time
