Publisher's summary

Every day, all over the world, an increasing number of people are reporting near-death experiences (NDEs) and other related phenomena. This audiobook is a collection of the best stories and quotes I have come across in 40-plus years of studying NDEs.

It shines a bright light on the universal truths that are championed by NDEs and reveals, in life-changing technicolor, how to apply these truths to our everyday lives. This book was first published under the title Love the Person You’re With. All 60 chapters of that book are included in this one. Thirty-one additional chapters have been added.

The book is being published under a new title to reach more people. New content has been added to explore some topics in greater depth. Other tweaks, including enhanced references, have been added to make the book easier to listen to, remember, and study.

The book includes stories and quotes from 52 experiencers and 10 researchers, including Howard Storm, Tom Sawyer, Reinee Pasarow, Dianne Morrissey, Oliver John Calvert, Erica McKenzie, Andy Petro, Amy Call, Mary Jo Rapini, Anne Horn, Ellyn Dye, Mellen-Thomas Benedict, Ryan Rampton, Natalie Sudman, Amphianda Baskett, Mary Neal, Julie Aubier, Julian of Norwich, Barbara Harris Whitfield, Anita Moorjani, Jeff Olsen, Cami Renfrow, Louisa Peck, Ana Cecilia, Peter Panagore, Alon Anava, Tricia Barker, Samuel Bercholz, Arthur Yensen, George Ritchie, Linda Stewart, Cecil Willy, Lorna Byrne, Rene Jorgensen, Mary Deioma, Krystal Winzer, David Sunfellow, Kenneth Ring, Laurin Bellg, Jeffrey Long, Sheila, Dennis, and Matthew Linn, Kevin Williams, Barbara R. Rommer, and John W. Price.

Along with fantastic content, this audiobook has a companion website that showcases the experiencers, researchers, and remarkable videos that are featured in the book: thepurposeoflife-nde.com.

Joyful Read!

It was good. I thought it was going to be better. But it did have some parts that filled me with joy and made me tear up.

I love this book

This is such a wholesome book. I felt so so so good listening to it the entire time. I have recommended it to many friends already. One thing that I loved so much and got from the book is that all of us practice different religions, live in different countries, live different lives, etc., but at the same time, we are all the same. We are all God’s children and He LOVES each one of us and wants us to enjoy life and be happy. Life is beautiful :) Thank you for the beautiful book!! 🥰

The reviews were right!

A previous review for this audiobook was given by a woman that said it changed her life and her view of God, love & the world around her. I know exactly what she means by that now. I loved the book & wish it was longer! I found it easier to comprehend at a slightly faster speed of 1.25. Thank you!

compilation of lessons from NDEs

condensed summary of what is learned from NDEs. This does not include the stories of how people died or thier full experience but summarize what people have learned. very worthwhile to listen to and to remind one how best to live their life.

Best Pratical NDE Book

Lots of books are written about the basics of NDE experiences, or written to defend the validity of such experiences; this book is not one of those.

This is the best pratical-insight NDE book written. It moves beyond the theoretical into the "how-to" live life properly.

Amazing content from start to finish

This is by far one of the best NDE based books I've read, it leaves nothing & yet so much to the imagination, it's informative, comforting, whimsical but grounded all at the same time.. Highly recommend.
