ReviewsDr. Eben Alexander's near-death experience is the most astounding I have heard in more than four decades of studying this phenomenon. [He] is living proof of an afterlife., " Proof of Heaven is more than just an awe-inspiring account of a profound encounter with spiritual reality. Dr. Alexander's neuroscience career taught him that near-death experiences are brain-based illusions, and yet his personal experience left him dumbstruck. His honest struggle to make sense of this unforgettable journey is a gripping story, unique in the literature of spiritual experiences, that may well change how we understand our role in the universe." -Bruce Greyson, MD, co-editor of The Handbook of Near-Death Experiences: Thirty Years of Investigation, "Dr. Eben Alexander's near-death experience is the most astounding I have heard in more than four decades of studying this phenomenon. [He] is living proof of an afterlife." - Raymond A. Moody, M.D., Ph.D., author of Life After Life, "Dr. Eben Alexander's near-death experience is the most astounding I have heard in more than four decades of studying this phenomenon. [He] is living proof of an afterlife." - Raymond Moody, MD, PhD, author of Life Beyond Life, "Eben Alexander brings a unique perspective to the sacred world combining a glorious, personal vision of spiritual consciousness with patient, insightful scientific inquiry. Proof of Heaven is a compelling story of what may lie ahead for all of us in the life beyond this one. We have nothing to fear." -Allan J. Hamilton, MD, FACS, author of The Scalpel and the Soul and Zen Mind, Zen Horse, "I can highly recommend this important book that has the potential to break many scientific taboos." -Dr. Pim van Lommel, cardiologist, author of Consciousness Beyond Life: The Science of the Near-Death Experience

SynopsisThe #1 New York Times bestselling account of a neurosurgeon's own near-death experience-- for readers of 7 Lessons from Heaven . Thousands of people have had near-death experiences, but scientists have argued that they are impossible. Dr. Eben Alexander was one of those scientists. A highly trained neurosurgeon, Alexander knew that NDEs feel real, but are simply fantasies produced by brains under extreme stress. Then, Dr. Alexander's own brain was attacked by a rare illness. The part of the brain that controls thought and emotion--and in essence makes us human--shut down completely. For seven days he lay in a coma. Then, as his doctors considered stopping treatment, Alexander's eyes popped open. He had come back. Alexander's recovery is a medical miracle. But the real miracle of his story lies elsewhere. While his body lay in coma, Alexander journeyed beyond this world and encountered an angelic being who guided him into the deepest realms of super-physical existence. There he met, and spoke with, the Divine source of the universe itself. Alexander's story is not a fantasy. Before he underwent his journey, he could not reconcile his knowledge of neuroscience with any belief in heaven, God, or the soul. Today Alexander is a doctor who believes that true health can be achieved only when we realize that God and the soul are real and that death is not the end of personal existence but only a transition. This story would be remarkable no matter who it happened to. That it happened to Dr. Alexander makes it revolutionary. No scientist or person of faith will be able to ignore it. Reading it will change your life.

Proof of Review a quickie
I enjoyed this book about the author's NDE (Near Death Experience). When people experience the phenomenon known as NDE they have either been revived from a cardiac arrest, or in the case of this author they had been in a coma. The author is a neurosurgeon so he is quite familiar with what goes on in the human brain. The Author Dr. Alexander before his experience was an diehard atheist, as are many scientists and doctors, so his story is not like most of the other NDE stories that preach and praise Jesus though out the book. After his experience his views on what happens to us after "death" changed drastically. I don't think he considers himself a "Christian" or "religious" but he has grown "spiritually".Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Technical but interesting (and a relatively short story). Worth buying used.
The author writes with depth of scientific and medical knowledge, which for many people is a bit above their understanding. I'm in the medical profession so I understood most (but not all) of it, but I see how it was important for him to be clinical so people would understand that his experience was being viewed both from the human side as well as from a purely scientific side. I sensed his struggle with trying to describe his experience, which was apparently otherworldly and magnificent beyond mere human words. How would you explain to an amoeba the intricate beauty of, say, Beethoven's music and have the amoeba understand? It would be as difficult as Dr. Alexander's attempt at describing things he saw while in his coma (and having us actually understand and envision it). The human language simply couldn't do it justice, and basically he tells us we are not capable of truly understanding what's "out there", except to say The Creator is there and He loves us.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Proof of Heaven. Appropriate for NDE description of non believer.
I was comforted by the NDE described by the author. It was consistent with another book I read, Embraced by the light that narrowed down that our existence here and there is all about LOVE if you have to come up with one word. That this was the main takeaway from both stories, years apart gives credence to an afterlife and what we are doing here while we wait to go back. That was another common thread, that we have existed before life on earth and will exist again.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Sometimes God gives us a glimpse of what comes after our short life on planet earth.
The story is compelling. A really good example that science doesn't explain everything. I am drawn to this type of book because of a personal experience at 22 years old. It will be with me always!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Excellent & informative, proves heaven scientifically & spiritually. Best book on heaven I have ever read! Hope they make a movie about this book!!
For anyone who doubts heaven exists this is a must read. Written by a Doctor who doubted heaven and who's career was out to prove there was not a heaven. Written very well and the technical end of it proved that there is a heaven scientifically as well as spiritually. I hope they make a movie out of this ... I hope that anyone that doubts Heaven exists, or God exists and even Jesus Christ exists reads this book. I have had many debates with people that were atheist and agnostic about this very subject . So now I have a book that can prove it. My Mom will be going to Heaven soon. She might even be there already when you read my review . My mom believes and my family believes. Including my three daughters, their husbands, as well as my six grandchildren. Definitely the best book I've ever read on the subject ... and I look forward to the movie then I'm sure they will make about this book. My mom is reading it every morning period and I hope she finishes it before she goes to heaven and gets her wings . My Mom loves the book! It was a perfect gift for her as we treasure every day , every hour and every minute that we have with her right now. I highly recommend it to friends and family who have any doubt in their mind about God and heaven. Thank you for listening and may Father God bless you all.

Fascinating story
I consider myself a pragmatic person. I don't believe in something simply because I want it to be true. This account is for people like me, written by someone like me, someone with a 'scientific' attitude. It is the scientific and fact based analysis of Dr. Alexander's journey to the other side, life after death. I gave my first copy away; I ordered it again to confirm some of his statements that I couldn't stop thinking about. I consider this book life changing.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

His Account is True.
When I was a child, I dreamed I was in Heaven. The colors were incredibly vibrant. I spoke to a man wearing a vibrant white gown, with thick vibrant white hair. He told me if I committed suicide, I would not be allowed to be with my family on earth. I had never considered suicide before this dream. Mr. Alexander's description of Heaven is very accurate, as God is my witness.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
