Book Reviews of The Light Beyond
Book Review: Similar to Life After Life; worth reading
Summary: 4 Stars
Interesting reading, a good followup to the classic Life After Life by the same author.
Arrived promptly and in good condition; easy to find on amazon.com, reasonably priced.
Book Review: Uplifting theme, but no substance
Summary: 3 Stars
While the overall theme of the book is uplifting, there is nothing new in this book. The author attempts to answer some of the critics, and provides a few stories quoted from other books. I would consider this a high level look at NDEs with little or no research done by the author for this book. The tone of the book was very spiritual, but not religious if that makes senses. One thing I did not care for was the unsubstantiated generalizations that he would make. Such as, "all or almost all NDEs are positive," which is paraphrasing. He didn't back statements like this up with any facts. He did provide statistics from Ring's book and another researcher on the common experiences between NDEs. All in all this book is a research light book, and more of a response to criticisms of NDEs.
Book Review: I was expecting more, do I have to have an NDE?
Summary: 3 Stars
The Light Beyond is a wonderful book, but so many people just focus on their own lessons they learned, which makes for an interesting story, but I am always looking for more - how does this apply to me? Do I have to have an NDE myself? I liked Tiffany Snow's book better, just one chapter about her great NDE, but the rest of it shows how anyone can open up, if they learn how. I'm not saying The Light Beyond is a bad book, really, but I guess I was just expecting more.
