While providing many accounts of neardeath experiences (NDEs) from men, women, and children of all ages and backgrounds, Lessons from the Light is much more than just an inspiring collection of NDEs. In Lessons neardeath expert Kenneth Ring extracts the pure gold of the NDE and with a beautiful balance of sound research and human insight reveals the practical wisdom held within these experiences. As Stanley Krippner states, "In this remarkable book, Ring presents evidence that merely learning about the neardeath experience has similar positive effects to those reported by people who actually have had neardeath experiences. Kenneth Ring is one of the few authors whose gifts include the capacity to transform their readers' lives."
