5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, concise book; It is truly uplifting..., March 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Visions of God from the Near Death Experience (Paperback)

While I was somewhat reluctant and skeptical when I began the book, I was very much moved by how Vincent integrates religious texts with the experiences of modern-day people in an protrayal that seems almost objective. The result is a work that is overwhelmingly consistent and convincing.

This review is from: Visions of God from the Near Death Experience (Paperback)

"Visions of God" is a thoroughly researched, beautifully written, and easily digested overview of the spiritually insightful subject of Near-Death Experiences. The author has a talent for juxtaposing just the right quotations, references, and case histories for the reader to take bite-sized samples of the many aspects of this spiritual study. Using a broad range of first-hand accounts, he seems to compare NDE reports to many perspectives from Eastern and Western thought. This book is a pleasure to read - both for its coherent and intelligent presentation, and for the uplifting, inspiring contents of the Near-Death Experiences. Thank You, Mr. Vincent.

This review is from: Visions of God from the Near Death Experience (Paperback)

On the surface....it promises to be a very insightful and informative book. Admittedly, we do not get the opportunity to preview any excerpts form the book itself in the Amazon preview....and I now know why! The substance of the book is MISSING! I feel that this book was written to take advantage of the market for this subject! In other words, to make money! I wanted to read a real book, complete with analysis of the NDE, see some thought provoking concepts analysed, etc! This is the first book that I have been able to "preview" that upon purchase I feel ripped off.....I want my money back!!!!
