Jeffrey Long, author of Evidence of the Afterlife

Thrilling and inspiring...Anyone who is not grateful for Moody's immense contribution to human welfare ought to check his pulse

Larry Dossey, author of Healing Beyond the Body

Moody's pioneering activities have...helped millions of people to understand and accept these special states of consciousness

Pim Van Lommel, author of Consciousness Beyond Life

A lucid, engrossing memoir from a psychologist and philosopher dedicated to the afterlife. . . . The supernatural undertones saturating the narrative are dwarfed by an overwhelming sense that this eccentric visionary just might be on to something . . . the fascinating life story of an impassioned mystical maverick.

Dr Moody is a respected psychiatrist, lecturer and researcher, and the leading authority on the near-death experience. He has written several books since the phenomenal bestseller, Life After Life, and now runs an institute in Alabama called The Theatre of the Mind, which offers workshops for educators and professional clinicians. 
 
Raymond Moody's seminal work, Life After Life, has completely changed the way we view death and dying. He is widely acknowledge as the world's leading expert in the field of near-death experience.

Few people have the opportunity to change the face of modern medicine. However, Raymond Moody achieved precisely this with the publication in 1975 of Life After Life, which introduced the phrase 'near death experience' (NDE) into popular use. In that bestseller, Dr Moody researched what happens when we die, including the amazing stories of those who have had out-of-body experiences and witnessed the afterlife for themselves. And he has remained at the forefront of investigations into the paranormal ever since. Now, at long last, he has decided to share his discoveries and the story of his own unusual life in this gripping account. 
 
Searingly honest and extremely engaging, in Paranormal Dr Moody recalls his pioneering research into NDEs, reincarnation and ghosts. He also exorcises many of his own demons, revealing the trials and tribulations that have beset him personally - nearly driving him to suicide. The autobiography of a truly extraordinary life, Paranormal makes for compulsive reading.

An investigation into shared death experiences

Glimpses of Eternity

The first new work by the pioneer of the Near-Death experience, in the field that made him internationally famous

In his seminal book Life After Life, Dr Raymond Moody introduced the near-death experience (NDE) to the world, sharing the true stories of those who have returned from the brink of death. 
 
In this stunning sequel, Dr Moody returns to the area in which he made his name and provides compelling new evidence that NDEs are not the mere biological products of brains in the process of shutting down. Here, he shares the eyewitness accounts of those who have shared the experiences of the dying: the 'empathic death experiences' that occur when those gathered at the bedsides of the dying have their own visions of the afterlife. 
 
 Brimming with case studies and drawing upon a lifetime's research as well as recent findings, this important book will change the way we think about life and death. As the baby-boomer generation begins to lose those they love, and international scientific research continues in this area, Dr Raymond Moody's book could not be more timely.

How to meet loved ones again who seem lost to death

Dr Raymond Moody is a respected psychiatrist, lecturer and researcher, and the leading authority on the near-death experience. He has written several books since the phenomenal bestseller, Life After Life, and now runs an institute in Alabama called The Theatre of the Mind, which offers workshops for educators and professional clinicians. 
 
Paul Perry is the co-author of several bestselling books, including the Closer to the Light series and Saved by the Light. His books have been published in more than 30 languages around the world.

If you believe that communicating with those on the other side is impossible, or that only professionally trained psychics can cross that boundary, the evidence in this provocative book will surprise you. Dr Raymond Moody, bestselling author of Life After Life and the first medical professional to explore near-death experiences, shows that it is possible, and not even difficult, for all of us to make contact with our loved ones virtually whenever we choose, without the help of a medium. 
 
By experimenting with such items as mirrors, crystals and specially designed chambers, Dr Moody created an environment in which many unbiased, intelligent men and women achieved amazing success in calling forth visions. Here are their own descriptions, recorded immediately after, of what they saw, heard and felt during moments of precious closeness that left them confident they had been in the actual presence of their dead loved ones. 
 
Grounded in solid historical and anthropological data, these case studies and Dr Moody's own observations will give pause even to sceptics. As proof of life after death, his stunning findings promise to launch even more research and give comfort to many people around the world.

The extraordinary sequel to the classic Life After Life

The Light Beyond

Fully revised and updated by the author, the sequel to the international bestseller 'Life After Life' reveals yet more fascinating insights into what really happens when we die

'The Light Beyond' is based on more than a thousand case studies of adults and children who clinically reached the point of death and survived, as well as amazing new research. It shows the many striking similarities shared by all near-death experiences (NDEs), and uncovers secrets and opens the doors to a powerful message of love from the frontier between life and death. 
 
Raymond Moody's research throws new light on the following topics: 
--how recent findings in medicine, psychiatry and sociology bring us closer to unravelling mankind's greatest mystery: what happens to us after we die? 
--Startling, newly confirmed phenomena such as: the experience of meeting one's loved ones in the afterlife and the ability to 'tap into' knowledge of any sort 
--What the moving near-death experiences of children can teach us 
--Why NDE's inspire permanent change, greater appreciation of life, more concern for others, increased belief in an afterlife, and decreased fear of death 
--Why doctors want more research into near-death experiences-and much more 
 
Based on Dr Moody's groundbreaking studies, 'The Light Beyond' offers both answers and peace of mind to anyone who has ever wondered about death and beyond.
