In her long journalistic career, JUDY BACHRACH has worked at the Washington Post, the Washington Star (as a political columnist) and is currently a Vanity Fair contributing editor as well as a professor of journalism. She is most recently the author of GLIMPSING HEAVEN, The Stories and Science of Life After Death, which was published in September, 2014 by National Geographic books.
If you caught a glimpse of heaven, would you choose to come back to life? Investigative journalist Judy Bachrach has collected accounts of those who died and then returned to life with lucid, vivid memories of what occurred while they were dead, and the conclusions are astonishing. Clinical death—the moment when the heart stops beating and brain stem activity ceases—is not necessarily the end of consciousness, as a number of doctors are now beginning to concede. Hundreds of thousands of fascinating post-death experiences have been documented, and for many who have died and returned, life is forever changed. These days, an increasing number of scientific researchers are turning their studies to people who have experienced what the author calls death travels – putting stock and credence in the sights, encounters, and exciting experiences reported by those who return from the dead. Interviewing scores of these “death travelers,” along with physicians, nurses, and neuroscientists, Bachrach carefully unravels some of the mysteries of the afterlife, and redefines the meaning of both life and death. Glimpsing Heaven reveals both the complexity and the surprising joys of life after death.
