Best book on life after death
After reading the Robert J. Grant's previous book "The Place We Call Home-Exploring the Soul's Existence After Death," I was thrilled to see he had a follow-up book that added more details to the "final journey." He draws from both contemporary and turn-of-the-20th century authors, and well-grounded researchers in the field of the paranormal. Two chapters that I thoroughly enjoyed were "Questions on Death, Dying and the Afterlife"; and "Chronicles of the Afterlife." In the latter, the author details the "fact behind the fiction" of "The Sixth Sense," and the book "What Dreams May Come." I read Richard Matheson's book "What Dreams May Come," after reading Universe of Worlds, and it is as riveting as Grant said it was. "Universe of Worlds," is exceptional because it sheds light on what happens in cases of sudden death; why some souls remain earthbound for a period after death - and how we can help them; and has an amazing Bibliography of "must read" books for those interested in the continuity of life after death. Readers don't have to read "The Place We Call Home" to enjoy "Universe of Worlds." On its own it is a fascinating excursion that "answers the unanswerable questions," based on near-death experiences; the documented reports of 20th century psychic Edgar Cayce; and personal experiences of the author. He details stories from the 18th-21st century - that removes the fear of death, and I recommend his work to countless friends - especially those who have experienced a death in the family - Robert J. Grant's books will be a great "light" to those who are bereaved; or frightened of "what comes after death." Highly recommended. Five Stars. --Susan J. Collins
