Summary:
"Sparked by extraordinary experiences that occurred in her family when her father and her sister both died in 2008, Patricia Pearson was launched on a journey of investigation into
what
she calls 'a curious sort of modern underground--a world beneath the secular world, inhabited by ordinary human beings having extraordinary experiences that
they
aren't, on the whole, willing to disclose.' Roughly half the bereaved population,
about
20% of those near death who recover, and an unreported number of the
dying
witness or experience a sensed presence, the mystery of near-death awareness, and, if
they
are not in horrible pain or medicated into unconsciousness, rationally inexplicable feelings of transcendence and grace as
they
depart on the journey from which none of
us
return. Pearson brings
us
effortlessly into her illuminating quest for answers, inspiring
us
to own up to experiences we
may
never have shared with anyone. Secular or religious, all of
us
wonder deeply
about
these things if we let ourselves, and also
about
the medical, social and psychological implications of understanding
what
it means to pass through
heaven
's
door
."--From publisher.
