Life After Life : Investigation of the Phenemenon--Survival of Bodily Death by Raymond A. Moody "I had a floating sensation ... and I looked back and I could see myself
on the bed below." "I went through this dark black vacuum at super speed." "From the moment the light spoke to me, I felt really good -- secure and loved." "I heard a voice telling me what I had to do -- go back -- and I felt no fear." "It opened up a whole new world for me -- I kept thinking, 'There's so much I've got to find out.'"
In this fascinating book, Dr. Moody reveals his groundbreaking study
of more than one hundred people who experienced "clinical death" --
and were revived. Their amazing testimonies and surprising descriptions
of "death" and "beyond" are so strikingly similar, so vivid and so overwhelmingly positive that they have changed the way we view life, death, and the spiritual hereafter. Life After Death will intrigue and offer strong reassurance to anyone who has wondered "what comes next?" (From Amazon.com)

Closer to the Light : Learning from Near Death Experiences of Children by Melvin Morse
The skeptics have had their say; now listen to the experts. In hundreds of interviews with children who had once been declared clinically dead, Dr. Morse found that children too young to have absorbed our adult views and ideas of death, share first-hand accounts of out-of-body travel, telepathic communication and encounters with dead friends and relatives. Finally illuminating what it is like to die, here is proof that there is that elusive "something" that survives "bodily death." (From Amazon.com)

Beyond the Light : What Isn't Being Said About Near-Death Experience by P. M. H. Atwater
Sometimes it seems as if almost everyone in the country has had a
near-death experience. Phyllis Atwater had three, and unlike other
researchers, who stress the transcendental aspects. of the
experience--the white, loving light, for instance--Atwater also explores
other, more ominous or confusing aspects. After interviewing hundreds
of "experiencers," as she calls them, Atwater concludes that while
NDEs always lead to spiritual awakening, the means may not be as
pleasant as we have been led to believe. And more important than the
experience itself is the hard work that comes with integrating it into one's life, finding its real value and meaning to both mind and soul. Atwater's down-to-earth writing style conveys what seems to be a genuine desire to instruct people about NDEs and then get on with her life. Though occasionally scattered, she is never pedantic and always compelling. An interesting addition to the ever-burgeoning NDE library. (From Booklist)
Reincarnation
Where Reincarnation and Biology Intersect by Ian Stevenson
Children who claim to remember a previous life have been found in
many parts of the world, particularly in the Buddhist and Hindu
countries of South Asia, among the Shiite peoples of Lebanon and
Turkey, the tribes of West Africa, and the American northwest.
Stevenson has collected over 2,600 reported cases of past-life
memories of which 65 detailed reports have been published. Specific
information from the children's memories has been collected and matched with the data of their former identity, family, residence, and manner of death. Birthmarks or other physiological manifestations have been found to relate to experiences of the remembered past life, particularly violent death. (From Amazon.com)
Ian Steven is the world's leading researcher on evidence for reincarnation. Although he claims his research only suggest reincarnation, he is responsible for making reincarnation research credible and no skeptics have been able to propose any other theories on how his subjects have gotten the information they speak of that hold up. Other books of his include: 20 Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation Children Who Remember Previous Lives Cases of the Reincarnation Type : Twelve Cases in Thailand and Burma Children's Past Lives : How Past Life Memories Affect Your Child by Carol Bowman
In this fascinating, controversial, and groundbreaking book, Carol Bowman reveals overwhelming evidence of past life memories in children. Not only are such experiences real, they are far more common than most people realize.
Bowman's extraordinary investigation was sparked when her young
son, Chase, described his own past-life death on a Civil War
battlefield--an account so accurate it was authenticated by an expert
historian. Even more astonishing, Chase's chronic eczema and phobia
of loud noises completely disappeared after he had the memory.
Inspired by Chase's dramatic healing, Bowman compiled dozens of
cases and wrote this comprehensive study to explain how very young
children remember their past lives, spontaneously and naturally. In Children's Past Lives, she tells how to distinguish between a true past life memory and a fantasy, offers practical advice to parents on how to respond to a past life memory, and shows how to foster the spiritual and healing benefits of these experiences.
