An MD's TRUE story of what happens when we die.5
This book is written by a doctor who, at first, did not believe the stories he heard from the children in his care but he kept an open mind. Eventually he realised that the similarities were too coincidental to be untrue. This book will make sceptics rethink their beliefs. Please read it and see for yourself that there really IS a peaceful paradise awaiting all of us!

Brief but interesting5
Contains a number of interesting accounts of NDEs experienced by children. Many of these include OBEs in which the child accurately describes events that occured whilst they were unconcious or effectively dead.

His research suggests that NDEs only occur where the patient actually 'dies' for some period with no comparable experiences for seriously ill children or children whose treatment includes mind altering medication.

Morse manages to counter the common alternative/ reductionist explanations for NDE's (for example 'the endorphin model', hallucination, anesthetic or drug effects).

The new Book of the Dead5
This book has become almost a bible for me. It is so beautifully written, without exaggeration or attempt to push the ideas. As a practicing clinician, Dr, Morse became interested in the after death experiences of children he was treating. These revealed much more than he expected, and he gives accounts of what his children discovered while they were apparently dead. As Dr. Morse says, he found it particularly intriguing and convincing because not only were the children innocents, without prior education in the subject, but also many of the accounts of observation of events in the hospital and elsewhere were confirmed.

Read the book. It touches places other books fail to reach.
