Summary: Extremely Detailed & Interesting Account of a NDE
Comment: I just finished reading this book, and I must say that it was extremely interesting. The author, Dannion Brinkley, gets struck by lightning while talking on the telephone and is clinically dead for 28 minutes! His account of what follows his "death" is absolutely amazing. It is the most detailed near death experience account that I have read, and even Dr. Raymond Moody, a Ph.D & M.D. and authority on the subject, says the same.
This book is very insightful if you are interested in studying accounts of near death experiences (NDEs). Brinkley's vivid retelling of what he witnessed is astounding -- detailed "interactions" with "beings of light" (as detailed as I've read, anyway), a visit to a crystal city of light, revelations he received about the future that really occurred (Gulf War, fall of USSR...), and much more...He even tells of "psychic powers" he had upon his return, which are very interesting. I'm not into psychics and all, but this stuff he can do is supposedly documented and "verifiable". Nevertheless, what he claims is very interesting and he seems to be truthful.
All in all, a very interesting, detailed, and compelling account of a NDE. Brinkley's relationship with Dr. Moody lends a great deal of credence to a fantastic, almost unbelieveable story.
Definitely worth reading, but for those of you who have not read about NDEs prior to stumbling upon this book, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND READING DR. RAYMOND MOODY'S STUDIES FIRST, which are very scientific and objective studies of NDEs (esp. "Life After Life" and "Reflections on Life After Life", etc). This book makes a good case study after you have read Moody's works...

Summary: Fast, Easy Read...Good Story At Least
Comment: This book has been out for several years and many of the author's statements have been publicly questioned. But, what do you expect from a book that dives into "near death experiences?" Nothing can be proven. However, it does make for an interesting read and the author at least has learned something in his life about inherent goodness. The author also speaks of things like 'crystal cathedrals', over one hundred revelations and higher beings with energy fields. It makes for fantastic fodder and pauses one to think seriously. I found some of the claims to be outrageous, but still, the reader will become consumed, if only for the symphathetic outreachings of the writer. Brinkley also speaks of his new found power and how he only uses it for 'good' things. Well, this is all wonderful and good, and I really want to believe all he has to say. However, even with the help of a co-writer (Perry), the writing is sophmoric and trite. Certainly, a topic this ethereal and spiritual needs a heavier handed editor. You may feel 'good' after reading it, or just bored, but for a few bucks, it's worth it.

Summary: Don't accept anything at face value
Comment: I have not read this book. I understand, however, that the author claims to have been a Marine Corps sniper in Vietnam sent to assassinate enemy leaders. This claim is exposed in the book Stolen Valor by Burkett and Whitely as unsupported by military personnel records. According to Burkett, Brinkley's records show that he was a USMC truck driver who never left the states and contain no evidence that he received any of the training that would have resulted in an assignment as a sniper or in covert operations.
