The Today Show recently broadcast an interview with a woman who had a near death experience and discussed the new book, "Evidence of the Afterlife" by Dr. Jeffrey Long.Click here to see the today.msnbc.msn.com broadcast. Dr. Long's new book “Evidence of the Afterlife” presents evidence of an afterlife and shares firsthand accounts of those people who have died and lived to tell about it. Through their work at the Near Death Experience Research Foundation, radiation oncologist Jeffrey Long and his wife Jody have gathered thousands of accounts of near-death experiences (NDE) from all over the world. From these accounts, Dr. Long describes nine lines of evidence that human beings survive physical death.
In addition to sharing the personal narrative of their experience, visitors to the website are asked to fill out a 100 item questionnaire designed to isolate specific elements of the experience and to red flag counterfeit accounts. Currently the database contains over 1,600 legitimate NDE accounts, far more than any other NDE research database in the world. The people whose stories are captured in the database span all age groups, races, and religious affiliations and come from all over the world, yet the similarities in their stories are as awe-inspiring as they are inexplicable.
