Surviving Death: A Journalist Investigates Evidence for an Afterlife

Examining evidence of extra-mortal existence with the critical eye of a seasoned reporter, journalist Kean demonstrates that such phenomena merit serious study. The book’s four sections cover past-life memories, life beyond death, communicating with beings in the spirit world, and, in a grand denouement, a section titled “Physical Manifestations—The Impossible Made Real.” Kean writes from a believing perspective while recognizing that her readers will be skeptics. In the many accounts she includes, particularly those of children relating information that can only be explained by memories of a past life, Kean challenges readers to consider the many possibilities of a reality beyond that which can be seen with human eyes. In an additional chapter, cardiologist and near-death researcher Pim van Lommel states, “Today science for me means asking questions with an open mind.” Those who come to this book with an open mind will be pleasantly surprised.
