While religious faith, at least that which is of the orthodox type, appears to be on the decline and church attendance fall, the great experience of death which all men must undergo continues to intrigue many who seldom, if ever, cross the threshold of a church. In this meticulously compiled volume, Dr. Robert Crookall, an eminent scientist who is also a student of psychical research, has brought together, from a great many different sources, what appear to be the personal testimonies of the experiences of death and survival. Taken together they form an impressive body of evidence on a topic where opinion is frequently expressed but evidence seldom considered: what we have here an entirely new kind of evidence. The success of the first edition of this book, published in 1961, has led to the issue of this revised and updated edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Essential reading,
By Drafer (Bakersfield, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Supreme Adventure: Analyses of Psychic Communications (Cities of the Biblical World) (Hardcover)
Essential reading for anyone seriously investigating the afterlife. Although fifty years since publication, this classic work covers certain aspects of the subject with a comprehensiveness and depth missing in later works. About the only serious omission, and it's an important one, is its failure to discuss, or even mention, reincarnation.
