Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Near-Death Experience and Journey into the Afterlife by Eben Alexander Book Summary Abbey Beathan
(Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book.)
A harvard-trained neurosurgeon faced his own mortality and survived a coma that lasted 7 days. After he woke up, what he discovered during his slumber made him a believer.
Driven into a coma and with no hope of surviving, Eben managed to pull through. However, in his 7-day slumber, he had vivid dreams about things he didn't know about, like a deceased birth sister he didn't get a chance to meet. He was puzzled, and as a scientist, he couldn't find an explanation. In the state his brain was, it couldn't have functioned at all. So, why did it? How could he know details about facts that he didn't know before? The answer changed his life for good.

"Our eternal spiritual self is more real than anything we perceive in this physical realm, and has a divine connection to the infinite love of the Creator." - Eben Alexander.
Proof of Heaven tells the tale of his attempt to comprehend consciousness and his origin. After his coma, Alexander began his journey to prove we are conscious despite our brains, as if it's embedded to our very soul. The only answer he could find through all his research was within God, so he turned to Him.
Alexander assures he found scientific proof to his theory and is willing to show us in his new book, are you willing to listen?

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It was very informative and the doctor had lots of insightful descriptions of his experience. It was though a little "dry" reading towards the end. Found myself daydreaming a bit.
