We must bear in mind that this book is the complement of the first volume "Life after life". If one ignores this detail, we may find its difficult reading. Indeed, here the author responds that his first album aroused reactions, questions and additional evidence. He even proposes a methodology for further studies. In a long intro, the translator focuses on the issue of NDE and the reaction of the Catholic Church in order to supplement the chapter of Dr Moody who was mainly interested in the Protestant world. These two little books form a kind of vademecum, and summarize almost everything that has been said on the matter thereafter. I only see Kübler-Ross to bring him new.
