Essential reading for anyone with a genuine interest in near Death Experiences. First published in the Netherlands, the English language edition appeared due to the support of the international association for Near Death Studies IANDS. This book is (as the Forward states) "a valuable catalog of important cases of paranormal phenomena from NDEs that have been investigated, confirmed, and documented by researchers over the years". To call it valuable is actually an understatement - this is an immensely valuable contribution to the growing body of evidence that materialist reductionism must surely be replaced by a wider view of the universe that does not dismiss the fundamental importance of human consciousness.
