SAVED BY THE LIGHT, by Dannion Brinkey

An easy to read first hand account from a man who was stuck by lightening, died, and then came back to tell us about it. It includes some information about about what Dannion experienced "After life" to be expected. Particularly fascinating is his description of his life review, where every life experienced is relived, but with emotions re-experienced not only for himself but all those impacted his actions. Profound!

In addition to coming back from death, Dannion also becomes highly psychic, able to thrust himself into the midst of another's life through mere physical contact. But what I enjoyed about this book more than anything, actually has nothing to do with the spiritual or the psychic realms; it is the fact that this book is also a book of incredible perseverance. Dannion's description of his physical state shortly following being struck by lightening is heart-wrenching. He talks of taking hours to move his body from one room to another. He talks about agonizing pain, as if being burnt from the inside. But he never gives up.


I found this book to be an easy read, never boring and at times profound and highly moving.
