bikimdude 's review for:

The Map of Heaven: How Science, Religion, and Ordinary People Are Proving the Afterlife by Eben Alexander

5.0

---

I have to admit that I didn't know much about Eben Alexander before i cam across this book (that I got in the form of an ARC from the publisher). But I was interested in his point of view and what he had to say. Irregardless of his experiences during his comatose state. I do recall all of the fanfare of his 2012 title Proof of Heaven. In Map of Heaven it looks like he is trying to respond to his critics within the scientific community, while giving a voice to the masses who received him so well; for being brave enough to recount NDE accounts. his prose is two pronged, and built like the wedding cake he is trying to build in that he is marrying his knowledge of science and philosophy with that of his new vocabulary that has been acquired from his NDE.


If you are looking for an intelligent discussion on the subject of NDEs, and the existence of consciousness beyond the physical body I highly suggest you scoop this title up when it hits bookstores on October 7th.
