P.M.H. Atwater presents a very rich feast of materials on NDEs of children and how these transformed their lives.

She defines four types of experiences, finding that the distribution of each of these reported by children differs from the distribution reported by adults.:

1. An "initial" or "nonexperience," of "loving nothingness;"
2. Unpleasant or hell-like experience;
3. Pleasant, or heaven-like experience; and
4. Transcendent experience.

Significant numbers of Atwater's reporters had multiple NDEs, each adding its transformative influence to their lives.

This is a book that is worth a slow and thoughtful read, presenting a wealth of observations and thought-provoking explanations of the worlds beyond physical existence.
