In spite of the "Disappointing" and "Don't Recommend To Christians" reviews, I found the personal accounts of out-of-body spirit experiences revealing. Obviously Mr. Jasso is trying to view this book (and probably any other on NDE's) through "where's Jesus?" glasses. The concept of spirits continuing on after one or more body deaths is far far older than Christianity, and is a concept that used to be embraced in the Bible, until it was expunged around the year 530 by the then-Pope and others. And who says spirits have to stick around this planet when they leave a body? It's logical that, a spirit not being subject to things like eating and breathing, they could hang out anywhere. I didn't feel that the author/collector tweeked the accounts at all, they are all from the minds and memories of the spirits (humans) who experienced it themselves. The fact that they rock people's pre-programmed ideas of "heaven", "hell", and other things religious should be an eye-opener, not a cause to retreat into the citadel of fixed ideas. That's how we end up with things like Inquisitions. I think Kevin Williams' evaluations of what the experiences "meant" in relation to Christ, God, or any angle of any religion is beside the point. The people felt and saw what they felt and saw. I am not particularly Christian and found his evaluations of the experiences along a Christian angle a bit distracting. But they work as a reference point to a "bigger spirit", which every religion has embraced. I think we will all get a big surprise when we "pop out". One thing was consistent throughout most of them though (the girl's suicide account was very revealing), and that is that if the person/spirit cannot find it in themselves to generate affinity, love, whatever you want to call it, then they will be trapped with their own miseries. By their accounts it sounds easy to do, when not burdened by Earthly bodies and cares, if they can just embrace the possibility. The other thing consistent was that there is no fire-breathing ogre waiting to punish punish punish. The spirits seem to do a great job of punishing themselves for their harmful acts committed during their lives, which is plenty. FYI the accounts in this book and more can be found online at the author's website.
