Description

Most Americans believe that an afterlife exists, but unfortunately mainstream religions teach a generic faith-based view of it and mainstream science ignores the topic altogether. So people are hungry for concrete facts about the afterlife, and afterlife-related books are perennial best-sellers. Just this year, HarperOne published Evidence of the Afterlife: The Science of Near-Death Experiences by Jeffrey Long and Paul Perry, and Harper Collins published Heaven: Our Enduring Fascination With the Afterlife by Lisa Miller, both to much acclaim. But neither book answers the basic questions: Where is heaven? What is it like? and How does it feel to die? Nor do any of the many books about the afterlife answer three more basic questions: How is a solid afterlife possible? Who will make it there and who won't? and What are the rules that we must follow to have the best chance of getting there? The Fun of Dying offers detailed answers to all these questions and more in an easily read hundred pages. It also presents two study guides one brief, and one much more detailed so readers can follow the author in learning these eternal truths. It turns out that for most of us, death is the best time of our lives!

If you wonder whether death ends life, how it feels to die, or what heaven might be like, this book is for you. If you worry about a lost loved one or fret about the death of a pet, all the answers to your questions are here. And if you are afraid of death, if you worry that your life has no meaning, or if you have given up on religions, then let this book ease some of your fears while it brings new meaning to your life.

Nothing in The Fun of Dying is based on the teachings of any religion. Instead, it draws on more than a century s worth of evidence to explain how dying feels, how it happens, and most importantly what comes next. Accounts of near-death experiences are just a small part of the afterlife evidence! A lot of the best death-related evidence was produced in the first half of the 20th century, and it has been ignored ever since by mainstream science and mainstream religions. When it is put together with more recent discoveries, it tells a consistent and amazing story.

The Fun of Dying is a complete account of how dying feels and what comes next. Read it, learn the truth, and apply its lessons so you can enjoy your best life forevermore.

Advance Praise

Review The Fun of Dying is a fascinating, informative, well-written book that accurately describes what we know now about the graduation from Earth school into our next life's adventure that we call death. Death isn't to be feared, and this book clearly explains why. It is an interesting, enlightening read that I highly recommend to anyone who wonders about death and what happens next. --R. Craig Hogan, Ph.D., author Your Eternal Self and Induced After-Death Communication

Featured Reviews

This book aims to explain what happens when you die. The author researched testaments of people who had had near death experiences, mediums, etc. I don't think I read anything in this book that was too far off from other death related books. The experiences she described reminded me a lot of "What Dreams May Come"- the book, not the movie (that's important). One of the best parts may be the list of resources in the back of the book. For anyone interested in this subject that list alone will lead you down a rabbit hole or two.

The only thing that bugged me was how she purported to give an overall description of death and heaven that included all religions and yet spent so much time talking about Jesus. I really think she could have done a little research into Buddhist beliefs or the teachings of the prophet Mohammad at the very least to give a more well rounded view. She quoted Jesus at the beginning of every chapter, and while I agree that those quotes were relevant, I'm pretty sure with a google search I could find quotes from other religions that would say very similar things. I think it would do more to prove her theories if she could show that all or more religious teachings are actually saying the same thing.
