Product Description: While providing many accounts of near-death experiences (NDEs) from men, women, and children of all ages and backgrounds, Lessons from the Light is much more than just an inspiring collection of NDEs. In Lessons near-death expert Kenneth Ring extracts the pure gold of the NDE and with a beautiful balance of sound research and human insight reveals the practical wisdom held within these experiences.
As Stanley Krippner states, "In this remarkable book, Ring presents evidence that merely learning about the near-death experience has similar positive effects to those reported by people who actually have had near-death experiences. Kenneth Ring is one of the few authors whose gifts include the capacity to transform their readers' lives."
Great Book I enjoyed reading this book. It had a lot of information about NDE's.. I would recommend this book.
An amazing undertaking and a good read As one of the near-death experiencers written about in this book (and also Heading Toward Omega, Ring, 1984) I know how carefully and clearly Kenneth Ring interviews and reports. This book takes in all of the years of his research and gives us an overview that is pristine near-death studies.
Ring's writing is exceptionally engaging!

Lessons from the Light This is a very good book in that the author reports the results of extensive studies of near-death experiences. I was especially impressed by his description of the life review experience and what it did to the people who experienced it. One thing puzzled me. Other books and accounts of near-death experiences describe cases where the experiencer went directly to hell or the "void." This book gives almost no recognition of that as a possibility. Did Ring want to promote a positive view of what happens after this life? Or, are the other writers catering to what some people want to be the case?
The best book on Near-Death Experiences If you buy one book on the near-death experience, make it this one. Lessons from the Light is a treasure; radiant, direct, and moving. Like the light seen in the near-death experience, Dr. Ring's masterpiece is replete with messages and healing gifts for anyone who picks it up. In fact, it is impossible to read Lessons and not be transformed by its message, woven together from the many golden threads of Dr. Ring's case studies. We learn there is another mode of existence where the blind and comatose can see, babies can watch their birth from above, and life never ends. This testimony compels us to open our hearts to a luminous compassion for ourselves, others, and the planet. These personal glimpses beyond the veil help us re-envision the face of death from that of a feared specter to that of the perfect lover we have always longed for.
Ironically, by learning about dying, we gain crucial insights about living that can redirect our understanding to the things that matter; what we take with us to the other side, especially love and service to others. Nobody is lost to us, and we take no secrets or possessions to this final destination. These lessons can enrich our lives immeasurably, save us from wasted years and futile pursuits, and gift us with joy and peace of mind that can last a lifetime. With the Light, all ends well, however life appears as we experience it.
Good read but technical This book was very informative and insightful about what is learned from near-death experiences. It reads very technical and dry though so not for the impatient reader.
