Publisher's summary

A rare glimpse into heaven, hell, and previous lives.

Dr. Rajiv Parti's near-death experience brought him on a journey through the afterworld, leading to a spiritual awakening that transformed his career, his lifestyle, and even his fundamental beliefs.

Before his near-death experience, Dr. Rajiv Parti was a wealthy man of science with a successful career as the chief of anesthesiology at the Bakersfield Heart Hospital in California. He demanded the same success from his son, whose failures provoked episodes of physical abuse from Dr. Parti. All in all, Dr. Parti was the last man to believe in heaven or hell - that is, until he saw them with his own eyes.

When Dr. Parti had his near-death experience on the operating table, he first watched his own operation from the ceiling - even recalling a joke told by his doctors during his surgery. He was greeted by archangels and his deceased father, who led him through the tortures of hell and revealed the toxic cycle of violence that has plagued his family for generations. He even reviewed the struggles of his previous lives, which in many ways reflected those he still faced in the present. Finally he experienced heaven. From the angels he learned lessons of spiritual health that they insisted he bring down to earth. To do so, Dr. Parti knew, he had to change his ways.

After his near-death experience, Dr. Parti awoke a new man. He gave away his mansion, quit his career, opened a wellness clinic, and completely turned around his relationships with his family. To this day he still converses with angels and spreads their wisdom to the living.

In this remarkable true story of spiritual transformation, Dr. Parti provides rare details of heaven, hell, the afterlife, and angels. In sharing the lessons and eternal truths from the divine that changed him forever, Dr. Parti offers his audience the opportunity to attain peace and live better lives here on earth.

Wake up call!!!

This book could not have come at a better time. My husband and I were driving home from a vacation when we got upsetting news. We listened to this book on a 6 Hour Drive home, completely turned us around, we arrived home happy and content rather than what would have been miserable fear laced drive....loved every second of this book!!

Very very informative. Great job by Doctor Rajiv.

Simply excellent. Very much motivational and highly spiritual. I must have read about 15 writers but this is the most simple and effective. Thank you very much Doc.

struggle d

Being Christ minded within the Christian faith. Ummm? The Arthur's ideology was all over the place. I have met people from different faiths that have a high spiritual maturity. My confusion comes in om how can we be Christ minded and serve other gods??? I do understand the true goal is to love no mattert race or spiritual none spiritual beliefs.
