Study of Afterlife Experiences

A recent poll revealed that 12 million people have experienced some kind of spiritual experience during an accident or a surgery. C.S. Lewis wrote that people yearn for "that which is possible". If we yearn for water, water is possible. If we yearn for love, love is possible. If we yearn for life after death, it is possible.

Howard Storm is a former atheist and free-thinker who relates a very negative spiritual experience he had while on vacation. While waiting for emergency surgery in a Paris hospital, he felt that he was being transported into a very dark place with hostile beings. A voice kept calling to him to cry out to God. He resisted because he didn't believe in God. After almost being torn apart by these hostile beings, he tried to remember how to pray. He relates now that he said parts of Psalm 23, parts of the Pledge of Allegiance, and whatever he could think of from his childhood experience. Howard Storm has written a book, "My Descent Into Hell". In his sixties, Howard has made a complete turn around that has influenced his wife and family greatly. I refuse to give up on those I care about who have turned their backs on God!
