Publisher's summary
Begun in 1994, The Atlanta Study is the first comprehensive investigation of its kind into near-death experiences (NDEs). The study's name hardly captures what lies behind it: life-and-death dramas played out in operating rooms and hospital beds - and simultaneous events unseen by medical personnel but reported with astonishing clarity and conviction by nearly 50 individuals who returned from death's door.
Now the founder of The Atlanta Study, Dr. Michael Sabom, reveals their impact on the people who have experienced them. From both medical and personal perspectives, he shares the electrifying stories of men and women from all walks of life and religious persuasions. He explores the clinical effect of the NDE on survival and healing and discloses surprising findings. He questions some common conclusions about NDEs. And he scrutinizes near-death experiences in the light of what the Bible has to say about death and dying, the realities of light and darkness, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

While it might appear to be a bold statement, it is reasonable to conclude that all of the major components that occur during a near-death experience have already been revealed; from the initial out-of-body experience, to the NDEr being told, “It is not your time. You must go back.” Most who have had an NDE describe this otherworldly realm as heaven. And heaven, if it is real, would not likely change over time. So, is there more to learn about this phenomenon?

Howard Storm, an avowed atheist, was awaiting emergency surgery when he realized that he was at death's door. Storm found himself out of his own body, looking down on the hospital room scene below. Next, rather than going "toward the light", he found himself being torturously dragged to excruciating realms of darkness and death, where he was physically assaulted by monstrous beings of evil. His description of his pure terror and torture is unnerving in its utter originality and convincing detail.

Story
While it might appear to be a bold statement, it is reasonable to conclude that all of the major components that occur during a near-death experience have already been revealed; from the initial out-of-body experience, to the NDEr being told, “It is not your time. You must go back.” Most who have had an NDE describe this otherworldly realm as heaven. And heaven, if it is real, would not likely change over time. So, is there more to learn about this phenomenon?

Howard Storm, an avowed atheist, was awaiting emergency surgery when he realized that he was at death's door. Storm found himself out of his own body, looking down on the hospital room scene below. Next, rather than going "toward the light", he found himself being torturously dragged to excruciating realms of darkness and death, where he was physically assaulted by monstrous beings of evil. His description of his pure terror and torture is unnerving in its utter originality and convincing detail.

Strong Start
The book started out strong, but, to me, the author spent so much time routing out the bias in his and other NDE studies that he left the reader/listener behind. I found it hard to complete the work.

Build my faith
I listened to a lot of this on a plane... and like me, you probably have thoughts of "what if it crashes?" when you fly... well, I'm not ready for the great beyond, yet. But this book built my faith in the Lord and in Heaven.
It was also well narrated. That's very important to me in an audio book. When the narrator focuses too much on enunciation I can't focus on the story. I don't want to notice the narrator. I want to immerse myself in the story--which is easy to do with Tom. I think I will search for other books narrated by Tom Parks because I've heard two and I love his style.

good science until the end
the book presented good evidence based argument until the very end when the presuppositional position of the author came comes out. The author argues the veracity of NDE content based on Biblical coherence. If not coherent with Bible, then a a description from the devil. Though this is a good presuppositional argument, it does. it meet the evidential standards I look for.

Too clinical for my taste...
What would have made Light and Death better?
If there were more real-life stories and a LOT less scientific talk.
Would you ever listen to anything by Michael Sabom again?
Probably not
What character would you cut from Light and Death?
What characters?
Any additional comments?
I had thought this was going to be a collection of NDE (Near Death Experience) stories, but what it turned out to be - in my opinion - was some stories sprinkled in with a very clinical possible explanation for NDE's. I kept listening thinking, hoping, it would get better, but it just didn't — for me. If you think you would enjoy a scientific commentary on the mysteries of the mind, body and/or soul, then you'll probably like this one. It just wasn't what I was looking for... Next time, I'll read the reviews more carefully.

Sabom uses trickery and deception to sell Jesus.
What disappointed you about Light and Death?
This book was supposed to be about NDE's but 90% of the book is selling his brand of Christianity. I will try to get my money back, it is pure deception.
Some Christians are not above deception and trickery to promote their brand of the dogma.
I had a higher opinion of Sabom after reading some of his stuff in the past but this is unconscionable.
If your going to write a book about faith healing, prayer and Christian promotionalism then at least give it an appropriate title so that people aren't fooled into buying something they are not interested in.
I know that Sabom can be thoughtful and intelligent from my past experience with him but this book is pure Christian huckerism deceptively labeled.
Shameful!

Biased Christian religious author
The majority of the sound NDE research show a decrease in affiliation and attachment to organized religion. This book focuses on all the benefits of religion specifically Christianity on life, health, NDEs and life after death. It ignores the majority of the literature that shows that religiosity doesn’t determine a positive NDE nor a meaningful life afterwards.

Moody Redux
People who buy this book are not likely to find favor with this review, but here it is… I actually only got this book because one reader, apparently seeking some religious tickling, complained that it was “too scientific…” Well, that was what I was looking for, a neurological examination of the near-death experience, and this one was by a doctor, so I decided to give it a try. What I got was a lot of theological circular reasoning, a doctor’s “study” of a handful of cardiac-arrested Christians from the religiously-literally minded and superstitious south (I know, I grew up there) who tended to see a long-haired, very Caucasian Jesus, in white robes, or, yes, blue t-shirts (it is getting more casual in heaven as well!)
What is not addressed is why Buddhists see Buddha on their death beds, Muslims see Mohammad, and African tribe members see the spirits that govern their belief systems. Also, Dr. Sabom fails to give us the reality of this phenomenon, namely, that the whole of it can be explained with neurology, brain science, and a dime’s worth of knowledge about the given society of a person who checks out for a minute or so and then lives to tell the tale of a dream that also involved some dim perception of things that were actually transpiring around him—think of how often you have dreamt that your mother was screaming at you to get out of bed, only to discover that it was your alarm clock blaring, and you get the idea. In fact, the near-death experience is simply your brain’s “shock absorber” system, a way of quieting your mind and body during trauma to prevent further damage through panic or thrashing about. In short, it transforms your dim perceptions of your near demise into a peaceful dream featuring your culture’s favorite religious character. “BUT I ACTUALLY SAW THE VISION WHILE I WAS DEAD!” No, you didn’t. You had the dream either before your heart stopped or after you were revived. Later, your left brain confabulated (see the work of Ramachandran and Sacks) the timing and many of the details of the dream to account for its seeming reality. “BUT I WAS OUT OF MY BODY FOR SO LONG!” No, you weren’t—in fact, you were not out of your body at all. Think of how many sleep dreams you have had that seemed to go on for hours, but, in fact, lasted only a few seconds—this phenomenon has been proven in sleep labs countless times. Also think of night terrors, the illusion of being paralyzed, or the "astral projection" dream, in which one seems to fly about, untethered by the corporeal form. “BUT IT CHANGED MY LIFE!” That doesn’t mean it was real. People change their lives for all kinds of reasons, both logical and not, because of real experiences and imagined ones.
For those still not convinced, I will relate the story of a southerner I knew as a boy who died on the operating table, came back from death, and gloriously announced to all that would listen that God was indeed white and that heaven was a racist paradise in which there were, just as he had suspected, no blacks, Mexicans, or jews. I await Dr. Sabom’s reaction to this “revelation.”
