5.0 out of 5 stars I read this book in one night, couldn't put it down!, June 12, 2001

By	"mkorengel" (Madeira, Ohio) - See all my reviews

Just read one page and you are hooked, it's an amazing story of God's saving grace. Even my non-believer friends are reading it and are amazed by the accounts of Heaven and Hell. It's not a book about "hey, look . . . this is what's going to happen to you if you are not a good person or if you don't believe in God" It's a book from a non-believers (a total non-believer) point of view. It's not threating to a non-believer or a believer -- it simply is an account of the authors death (near-death) experience and the saving grace of Jesus. Very uplifting. Thank you Howard Storm for writing this book, it must have been very hard but you have significantly touched this readers life!

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely one of the most compelling NDE accounts, May 1, 2001

By A Customer

I just got around to reading this after having read most of the other books in this field. Many potential readers may be put off by the facts that Storm is a Christian minister and that his NDE (which occurred when he was an atheist) wasn't the entirely "warm and fuzzy" experience favored by the New Age crowd. These facts should not keep anyone from reading this book. As another reviewer said, Storm's Christianity focuses on love and isn't the narrow-minded cartoon version that alienates many people. The most important thing is that the book is an honest account of what Storm experienced and how it transformed his life. This struck me as one of the rare accounts in which the experiencer has largely put aside his ego and need to impress everyone with his unique status as an "experiencer" and is simply trying to communicate to his readers the truth as he experienced it. Like it or not, during his NDE Storm found himself in the grip of seemingly demonic forces until he called upon Jesus (pretty much as a reflex action arising out of some childhood church training). This doesn't seem to be one of those accounts where the experiencer "interpreted" the Being of Light as Jesus -- in Storm's case, it WAS Jesus. The fact that this book is "Ringingly" endorsed by Dr. Kenneth (not exactly a Christian fundamentalist) should alleviate the concerns of many potential non-Christian readers. I found it to be one of the more compelling accounts that I've read and would encourage anyone -- particularly those who refuse to confront the possibility of a Dark Side to the universe -- to read it. (Minor complaint: Storm is an excellent artist, and it would've been great if the reproductions of his NDE-related paintings had been in color rather than black and white.)

5.0 out of 5 stars An Important Book...an Essential Message, October 2, 2000

By	"chipeggerton" (Ellenton, Florida USA) - See all my reviews

I feel most inadequate to do justice to this magnificent andimportant spiritual message. I want to especially recommend this work to those persons who, like myself, have been used and abused by religion claiming to follow the teachings of Jesus. The spiritual message that is shared in this book is for every person, regardless of cultural background. For many of us who have studied the NDE over the years, we have secretly longed to get 'the message' that such modern visionaries have sought to share with us. Howard's incredibly candid and illuminating account is both deeply inspiring and disturbing. I found myself, often, through tears, exclaiming, "Yes! Yes!" as I considered the ramifications of what he shares, in my own personal life. I am very sure that this man's story and the gift of this book, is an answer to the heartfelt desire of many human beings to hear from Heaven, Home of the One-- our Home as well if we choose to love! Allow yourself to be challenged and inspired by this man's story!
