About this listen

If you caught a glimpse of heaven, would you choose to comeback to life?

Investigative journalist Judy Bachrach has collectedaccounts of those who died and then returned to life with lucid, vivid memoriesof what occurred while they were dead, and the conclusions are astonishing.Clinical death - the moment when the heart stops beating and brain stem activityceases - is not necessarily the end of consciousness, as a number of doctors arenow beginning to concede. Hundreds of thousands of fascinating post-deathexperiences have been documented, and for many who have died and returned, lifeis forever changed.

These days, an increasing number of scientific researchersare turning their studies to people who have experienced what the author callsdeath travels - putting stock and credence in the sights, encounters, andexciting experiences reported by those who return from the dead. Throughinterviews with scores of these "death travelers," and with physicians, nurses,and scientists unraveling the mysteries of the afterlife, Bachrach redefinesthe meaning of both life and death. Glimpsing Heaven reveals both the uncertainty and the surprising joys of life after death.

Great insight into what happens or we think happens after we die and I loved hearing all the experiences from the people who have had a near death experience

I have an open mind as to what happens after death and found the strange and often uplifting experiences described by people who had been thought to be dead and then revived interesting. As a biologist and can understand those who had only been briefly 'dead' would have brain activity continuing and recall things mental activity. It's the cases where people have apparently been able to view, say, surgical interventions that they could not have seen that are particularly perplexing and convincing. The similarity among the narratives gives some credence to some form of mental activity continuing for some time after a person has apparently died. It will be interesting to find what happens when my time comes!

Thought-provoking

fascinating profound and insightful. Well written and narrated. A delicate and difficult subject handled well by the author. These are stories and recounts we all need to hear explore and contemplate on. I for one am grateful to all those who have bravely shared their experiences and to the author for compiling them here.

What made the experience of listening to Glimpsing Heaven the most enjoyable?

The fact that it's something we'll all experience - one day!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Characters as individuals didn't matter too much; it was the flow of ideas and experiences.

Have you listened to any of Susan Boyce’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Not yet.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

As a non fiction book, this would be more of a documentary.

Any additional comments?

As a subject this is something that has always fascinated me, and the older I get the more fascinating it becomes. But I liked the fact that this book was not just an endless list of similar stories; it was more a set of ideas with people whose stories supported the ideas.
A fascinating book, well written, albeit from an American point of view - not a criticism - and the narration was very good.

A look at things to come. . .!

A truly remarkable insight into what can happen to Conciousness when we have lost all Brain activity, and have seemingly passed away. Well researched, well written, and worth listening too.

Very Interesting.

What an incredible book! Well read and written. Emotional, reassuring and full of love. We may not know what awaits us after we exit, but it’s so reassuring to hear such heartwarming stories of the travelers. As someone who is death curious, I absolutely loved this book.
