Afterlife, The Whole Truth: Life After Death Books I & II
Stephen Hawley Martin - 2018
Book One lays out indisputable evidence the brain does not create your consciousness, and that when your body dies, your consciousness will be released into a mental realm. It explains what you can expect to experience during the first minutes until you come to a border near death survivors agree is a point of no return. Book Two will lead you past that border to explore that Shakespeare called, “The undiscovered country,” a mental realm each individual creates for him or herself. It also makes suggestions about actions to take now to insure the best possible outcome after death. Read what reviewers had to say about Book I: “Extraordinary findings in Stephen Martin’s newest book, Life After Death, Powerful Evidence You Will Never Die, will keep readers on the edge of their seats as they burn through this well written book’s pages. . . .” — Mark Davis, M.D. “If you only read one book about the afterlife, I highly recommend this one. It’s an extensive research project and is quite understandable for the average reader. . . .” — Alan Halverson “I couldn't put this book down. I'm 34 years old with no major health issues and have been recently dealing with a lot of anxiety over death. . . .” — Nicole Ryan “This is one of the most powerful books on this subject that I have ever read. Very inspiring.” — C. Ann Clarkon “Very accessible and well-written overview of recent research supporting evidence of consciousness existing independent of the brain; as well as its implications for survival of awareness after physical death. . . .” — Keith Park, Ph.D.
