About this ebook

“It is research like Dr. Moody presents in his book that will enlighten many and confirm what we have been taught for two thousand years—that there is life after death.”– Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, M.D., author of On Death and Dying

The groundbreaking classic that revolutionized our understanding of Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) and the mysteries of what lies beyond—AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER WITH OVER 30 MILLION COPIES SOLD

Life After Life introduced the world to transformative insights into near-death experiences. Originally published in 1975, it is based on the accounts of 100 individuals who were pronounced clinically dead and revived. Through their moving stories, Dr. Moody—the “father” of the modern NDE movement—explores recurring themes like the bright light, the tunnel, out-of-body experiences, reunions with loved ones, and profound peace. These interviews changed the cultural conversation about life, death, and the survival of the soul.

This bestselling book has remained a classic work for over 50 years, inspiring works by modern authors like Eben Alexander, Todd Burpo, Mary Neal, and Betty Eadie. This edition features a Foreword by Eben Alexander, M.D. (Proof of Heaven), and an Afterword by the author himself.

Life After Life continues to be a beacon of comfort for the bereaved, a definitive resource on reincarnation, and an empathetic guide for profound spiritual growth. Above all, it’s a life-changing journey for those yearning to uncover deeper truths, transcend limitations, and awaken to the boundless potential of the soul—and the full meaning of existence.

Dr. Moody’s compassionate investigation reveals a consistent pattern in these accounts:

  • The Afterlife Experience: Follow the firsthand reports of over 100 men and women who were pronounced clinically dead, exploring the common journey through a tunnel and towards a brilliant, loving light.
  • The Spiritual Body: Discover what it feels like to leave the physical form behind and exist as a being of pure consciousness, able to witness events in the physical world without being seen.
  • The Life Review: Learn about the panoramic, instantaneous playback of life's major events that many experience, presented not with judgment but with a focus on love and learning.
  • A New View of Death: Find comfort and a new perspective as Dr. Moody's work transforms the fear of dying into a conversation about spiritual growth and the continuation of life.

When I was 19 years old I had a "Near Death Experience" I suffered a high speed (ice skating) impact with rock hard ice against my forehead. I immediately found myself floating in a place of darkness, I was confused as to where I was and how I got there. I felt fully conscious and aware, physically I felt better than I had ever felt in my young life though I didn't seem to have a physical body. Some period of time passed and I began to see an approaching light, it was incredibly bright but comforting and seemed to be welcoming me. I believe I was enveloped in that light but at some point was brought back to consciousness and in the worst pain I had ever felt. I believe more than I can recall happened to me while in that light. I believe that knowledge was kept from me to allow me to continue down my mortal path. I never mentioned this to anyone because I had no way to explain the experience. It wasn't until I was in my early 30s when I came across Dr Moody's book and realized what I had gone through. I remember that experience as if it had just happened. Dr Moody's book has helped thousands understand the NDE and why they had such experiences. I am grateful to Dr Moody and the other NDE researchers who have brought to light these experiences. We now have tools to understand what these experiences are and to truly know that life does not end but instead goes on through eternity. What a great comfort it is to know that life goes on and that our life experiences and knowledge don't just simply evaporate at our death.

The book answers a lot of my questions without stating definitively that there is life after death. It does encourage you to research and seek information about this phenomena.
