The Map of Heaven

When Dr. Eben Alexander told the story of his near-death experience and his vivid journey to the other side, many readers wrote to say it resonated with them profoundly. Thanks to them, Dr. Alexander realized that sharing his story allowed people to rediscover what so many in ancient times knew: there is more to life, and the to the universe, than this single earthly life. In "The Map of Heaven", Dr. Alexander and his coauthor, Ptolemy Tompkins, share his readers' vision of the afterlife and show how surprisingly often they sync with those of the world's spiritual leaders, as well as its philosophers and scientists. It turns out there is much agreement, across time and terrain, about the journey of the soul and its survival beyond death. In this book, Dr. Alexander makes the case for heaven as a genuine place, showing how we have forgotten, but are now at last remembering, who we really are and what our destiny truly is.
