I enjoy reading about near death experiences because it always encourages me in my faith. I hope that when I face my own death, I will be able to have peace knowing that heaven is incredible beyond what words can express. Whether you believe in the events told in this story will boil down to faith. You will either read Dr. Alexander's account of his trip to heaven and discount it as just a result of lack of blood to the brain, or you will believe. That is the interesting thing about faith - it is the hope of something that cannot be seen or proven. So even little children can have great faith! I would have liked to hear more accounts than just the few that Dr. Alexander mentions, but he does provide an exhaustive reading list in the back of the book for those who want to read more. I preferred Dr. Maurice Rawling's book, Beyond Death's Door, because there were so many examples from his experiences as a heart specialist (often resuscitating patents from death). I also found that the medical explanations lost me a few times; I did a bit of skimming over a few pages.
