Proof of Heaven

A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife

Book • 2012

In this book, Dr. Eben Alexander describes his near-death experience (NDE) while suffering from a rare case of bacterial meningitis.

During his seven-day coma, Alexander claims to have journeyed beyond this world, encountering an angelic being and the Divine source of the universe.

His experience transformed his views on life, philosophy, medicine, and the existence of God and the soul.

The book details his medical recovery as a miracle and explores the implications of his NDE on his understanding of consciousness and the afterlife.

Despite scientific criticism, Alexander's story has been widely read and discussed, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of science and spirituality.
