The Case for the Afterlife: Evidence of Life After Death

Chris Carter

 

Does our Consciousness Survive Past Bodily Death? YES!

 

Author Chris Carter provides compelling and easy-to-understand evidence that supports the case for an afterlife.       

 

" This book is as clear a presentation of the evidence supporting the existence of an afterlife as anything in the literature. What makes it different from anything else in the literature is its wider coverage of the various types of evidence, and its robust demolition of the hypotheses used by opponents to debunk the evidence....Added to the pleasure of following Carter's lucid argumentation is the pleasure of seeing it so elegantly presented."
Stafford Betty, Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies, California State University, Bakersfield, author of The Afterlife Unveiled

" Carter argues that, based on the scientific research on mediumship, after-death communication, near-death experiences, end-of life experiences, terminal lucidity, apparitions, and spontaneous memories of previous lives at an early age, there is overwhelming evidence that there is a continuity of consciousness after the death of our body."
Pim van Lommel, cardiologist, NDE-researcher, author of  Consciousness Beyond Life
