Psychology and the Near-Death Experience

As the title suggests, this book takes a psychological approach to the near death experience that takes its reality and consequences seriously. It draws on a very wide range of experiences, some of which are recounted in detail, to formulate life as a learning journey where we learn to love (and forgive) better. The author reviews the features of the NDE and places it within a wider science of the soul as developed by psychologists such as Jung where God is immanent in the human being. This helps bring science and spirituality together. He explores the dark side of these experiences and lost souls more generally as well as the role of guardian angels. The book is informed by the author's strong faith, so that he writes sentences like 'misusing time equates to wasting God's gift of life', a phrasing that may not appeal to everyone. His fundamental message is a call for spiritual transformation and the co-creation of a new world in which love plays a more predominant role - which of course has been the core message of Christianity for 2000 years. The book certainly encourages readers in that direction.
