“We have at this point way over 300 near-death experiences that describe an awareness or a detailed encounter with God.” -Jeffrey Long
Jeffrey Long, M.D., is a radiation oncology physician who, over 20 years ago, founded the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation and has investigated over 4000 near-death experiences. The results of his previous research were published in his New York Times bestselling book, Evidence of the Afterlife: The Science of Near-Death Experiences.
During this episode, Dr. Long describes his research, and more specifically, out of 4,000, nearly 300 of those experiences have proved the existence of God and an afterlife. He emphasizes how all the people who encountered God described him as overwhelmingly loving and comforting beyond anything they’ve ever felt here on earth. During these encounters with Heaven, people often felt that Heaven was their natural home, and they felt more at home there than on earth at that moment. He also discusses one of his research series, including children having near-death experiences. During the children’s experiences, they were aware of a diseased sibling they never knew that they had; it’s been confirmed that 100% of the time when this information is brought back to the shocked parents, it is true and accurate.
Dr. Long has a multitude of resources on his website nderf.org, and he discusses some amazing books to help assist you in talking to your loved ones and children about near-death experiences, God, and proof of an afterlife:
