A CLASSIC ABOUT CHILDREN AND NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES
Near-death experiences, or NDE, is a term used to describe a mystical experiences that happens to people who have been declared clinically dead, only to return to life. Extensive polls reveal an estimated seventeen percent of those who almost die have NDEs, which some say are glimpses into the next world. Morse’s studies have proven the existence of NDEs. Science tells only half the story about life beyond death and the human soul. Children who have come very close to death, the children of Light, tell the rest. This is what they have told Dr. Morse:- I have a wonderful secret to tell you. I have been climbing a staircase to heaven.”
- “I just wanted to get to that Light. Forget my body, forget everything. I just wanted to get to that Light.”
- “I was told that life is painful and that I had to go back anyway.”
- “There were a lot of good things in that Light.”
- “I heard a voice say, ‘Go back, Bobby. You have a job to do.’”
- “There as a beautiful Light that had everything good in it. For about a week, I could see sparkles of the Light in everything.”
- “Before falling asleep at night, I could see that Light.”
- “I learned that everything in lie is connected and that if you hurt something, you hurt everything.”
- “I wasn’t afraid to live again because I knew that someday I would be with that Light.”
- “You’ll see. Heaven is fun.”

This popular examination of research into children's reports of past-life memories describes a collection of 2,500 cases at the University of Virginia that investigators have carefully studied since Dr. Ian Stevenson began the work more than 40 years ago. The children usually begin talking about a past life at the age of two or three and may talk about a previous family or the way they died in a previous life. Their statements have often been found to be accurate for one particular deceased individual, and some children have recognized members of the previous family.

The Gallup Poll reports that one in 25 people has had a near-death experience. Their heart stopped beating, their brain waves ceased; they claim they were more alive than ever. With improved medical resuscitation, more and more verifiable evidence indicates that life doesn't end with our last breath - it's just beginning. Drawing out the similarities found by studying over 1,000 accounts of near-death experiences around the globe, John Burke unfolds a compelling and comforting vision of a world where we are free from pain; we feel fully known and accepted; we are greeted by loved ones.
