"Moving beyond Proof of Heaven, Eben Alexander here draws upon his
own coma experience in combination with related accounts from a
wide variety of sources to advance an ecumenical vision, which I
strongly support, of recovering humanity's lost wisdom through
creative synthesis of the best in contemporary science and
religion."--Edward F. Kelly, PhD, author of Irreducible Mind and
Beyond Physicalism
"Neurosurgeon Eben Alexander generated enormous interest in what
happens when we die in Proof of Heaven, his many-splendored account
of his near-death experience. In The Map of Heaven, he expands his
account by relating similar experiences of others, and by a rich
analysis of supporting views from scientists and philosophers. The
evidence Alexander offers suggests that the day is approaching when
it will be considered irrational and unscientific not to believe in
the survival of consciousness following physical death. This day
cannot come too soon, for it will restore meaning and hope in a
world besotted with the morbid fictions of materialism. Thank you,
Dr. Alexander."--Larry Dossey, MD, author of One Mind: How Our
Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why It
Matters
