- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Actually a reread. The similarities between these near-death accounts and also sources such as the works of Plato and the Bible reinforce my feelings that there is life after this one and a benevolent supreme being. It also reinforces the importance of two things-love and the quest for knowledge. This classic work is worth reading. So open up your mind and give it a read.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Life After Life is written by a medical doctor who recounts experiences of numerous patients who report remarkably similar experiences with near death experiences.Dr. Moody writes in an unbiased way as scientific as possible given the topic. He concludes the book by saying he has no proof or conclusions--only more questions.If you've ever wanted to read first-hand accounts of near death experiences this is the book to read.As the author says, there are no answers--only more questions. But the stories are beautifully recalled by the patients and it does give one hope for a hereafter.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I have recently reread this book which was published 32 years ago. In my 20's, I took a college course on Death with Buzz O'Connell in Houston, Texas. He also taught a course on humor, but told us there was more humor and laughter in the death course. Somehow when a joke is studied, it loses its laugh. On the other hand, laughing is one way to deal with our uncomfortable feelings about our death.In the 1970's, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, M.D., who wrote the foreword to this book, was quite the rage as she delineated the stages a person goes through in facing death. Dr. Moody's book reviews 150 cases of people with near-death experiences (died and were resuscitated) to give us the stages after death as reported in these cases.What is remarkable is that the stages he discovered parallel much writings on meditation, which is often referred to as dying while living. As a person who is very familiar with much writing on meditation, it was easy for me to see the parallels as I read his section on "The Experience of Dying."In his section on "Parallels," he did not really discuss the practices of Eastern meditation or even of Jewish or Christian meditation, but he did a good job of the writings of Plato, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, and Emanuel Swedenborg. I had read The Book of the Dead and knew about Plato, but was interested in the details provided by Dr. Moody. Swedenborg was new to me.I enjoyed rereading the book as my knowledge of meditation is much richer today. Anyone involved in meditation will see immediately the value of this work. I wonder what Dr. Moody is doing today.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Raymond Moody coined the phrase "near-death-experience" in his book published in 1975 which many credit as being the catalyst for subsequent research into this phenomena. If you care to understand the origins of contemporary thought into NDEs, this is a good book to read. This was the first book I read on the subject which prompted me to study the subject in great detail and, ultimately, changed my life. Moody's book is an easy read and not overly long.Jim Fisher

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazing Book!!!! Strongly recommend. Very fulfilling with amazing stories. Lisa
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I was impressed with the book until his afterword, which he wrote in 2000, where he claims that he can safely help people cross to the other side and back. Maybe I need to look more into it, but it just sounds like another Sylvia Brown and the like.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Death does not kill love.. Neither destroys consciousness..
Who departed, still alive.. So yes, in life after life there is plenty of stories that narrate different situations of near death experience too.. So yes imagine how many times you visited here :) Or better yet how many series of too many life's, too many faces, too many bodies, too many opportunities we already had and the list goes on :)
Still I do like a premise that says the following..
Don't believe in anything you read in here or there, experiment, have your own experience..
Namaste,
Dave - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I liked it, but didn't love it. The jumping around between timelines worked for me until about 2/3rds through, then began to irritate as I couldn't always keep in mind which version of Ursula I was reading about.The minutiae of descriptions of the Blitzes were good, the curious family relationships between Ursula and her mother, Sylvie, and her aunt Izzie were well done. The fatalistic attitude to having to find a man and get married I found more difficult to buy into - not so much a generation thing, because there were examples of non conformity too. Overall, a nice idea, likeable enough main characters but not quite hitting the spot for me.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Opens your mind to new ideas.! Loved it!
Great book overall!
