Synopsis

Questions about the Afterlife? You Must Read This!

A successful young family man seemed to have it all; a beautiful home, a Rockwellian family, new cars, boats, airplanes and European vacations. His only creed was, He who dies with the most toys, wins.Then, just when life seemed perfect . . . a Stanford medical diagnosed him with just 5 months to live, and his whole world came crashing down.

As the young family struggled to comprehend what was happening, the 5 months stretched to 12. Being agnostic, he did't believe any after death stories, expecting only oblivion, on death.

However, as his wife pondered what would happen to her family, she wanted to do more to fight his dying. But, they had had the best doctors money could buy. So, short of visiting a South American witch doctor, what were they to do?

However, as death approached, his pain grew worse and death became more and more attractive. But, to his wife and daughters, this growing acceptance of dying, seemed like abandonment.

Then, in the darkness of one early morning, when death finally did come, he found he had been wrong about the oblivion. Instead, he suddenly was falling through space . . . and his afterlife experiences had begun.

Here is his first afterlife story as excerpted from, Dying to Really Live:

"There to greet me was my grandfather, Amos, along with my favorite boyhood dog, Butch, his tail wagging in greeting. And there was my other granddad, with his wry, bemused smile, all central characters in my Rockwellian childhood. There too, was an old rancher who lived across the river from where I grew up, who had always hired me when I needed money, even if he really didn't need any help. Also, there were others; entities I had known and loved in other times and other places, some from this earthly world, some from beyond death; still others from Celestial Realms outside this material Universe. However, all were beloved members of an ancient Soul Group with which I had been reincarnating, over and over, through the endless eons.

Before he was returned to his life from beyond death, he was told that to accomplish what he was being sent back to do, he would be need to be taught the use of Inner Guidance. When he got back, he was told to watch for any inner urges or quiet voices within. If deciphered, they would lead him to a small, white book, his handbook about Inner Guidance, and finding it would be his first test. At the time, he had no idea what any of that meant, and when he got back, he still didn't know what to do.

Several months after his return, seemingly quite by accident, he just "happened" to be in a neighboring town, when a small white book found its way into his hands, in a most unusual manner. That evening as he glanced through it, he knew the next step in his education in mysticism, was underway.

One morning, a few weeks later, he awoke to find two Entities by his bed, waiting for him. Then, without a word spoken, and leaving his body behind, he was taken once again, beyond life. This time, they revealed something which brought all his earlier afterlife experiences and NDE stories together, in final preparation for what he had been sent back to do.

Publishers Note: Here are some other topics found in this NDE Book of afterlife stories and experiences:

• How our After death experiences affect our future incarnations.
• Why NDE and afterlife stories and mysticism all are indicators of a global awakening.
• Why NDE survivors rarely fear death, and how NDE and Afterlife stories on dying and death, help with the fear of what we all face.

About this title

About the Author:

In his mid-thirties he thought he had it all. A beautiful home, a Rockwellian family, airplanes, boats and-and European vacations plus, all the toys that the media had told him he needed to be happy. . About the time, he had at all, a Dr. from the Stanford Medical Center, diagnosed him with a terminal condition and gave him 5 months to live . . . and his whole world came crashing down around him. . He lived 12 for months, but eventually they wept as he lay dying . . . but when he came back . . . ! Thus began a journey the rest of his life, it journey on which he eventually found what he had been looking for all along. But, he was sent back for the same reason many others who experience NDEs are sent back, to tell people that there is nothing to fear in death, in fact, it's quite the opposite. Death is but the beginning of another adventure either, back here, over there or, another of God's realms. And, since God promises an eternity of happiness, if you’re not happy, you’re doing something wrong. "Dying to Really Live" is the 1st book of the trilogy he wrote in response to the reason he was sent back. Book 2 of the trilogy covers the 2 years following his return to this earth, during which he was returned to the afterlife on several occasions. Book 3 covers the next 20 years he spent mastering one assignment he had been given in preparation for writing his story. The author is currently writing a 4th book which should be out in late 2015. This book called, “A New Tomorrow” is about what we can expect in the coming decades, and it's not the doom and gloom you see in the media.
