Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. At age 36, Amy Susan Crohn was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer and Lupus, a dual diagnosis that was considered terminal. After her first highly invasive biopsy surgery, she was pronounced dead and revived with an emergency tracheotomy. The next three years were a cauldron of chronic care, surgeries, chemotherapy, rehabilitation, and her terrific fight to ensure that her husband and two young sons would not be left to bury her. Moreover, Amy learned about national and international studies that link childhood maltreatment with adult physical illness. Amy's own childhood, as the descendant of a famous doctor herself, was fraught with dysfunction that led her to suppress the distress of the first 18 years of her life that finally exploded as a cancerous tumor wedged between her heart and lung and an autoimmune disease that caused critical issues with her treatment. This made her somewhat of a medical celebrity in the connecting circles of the New York City area hospitals where she was treated. Experiencing challenges that she never thought she could face, Amy survived to tell her story to help others who face any adversity that devastates the mind, body and family. She is cautious yet inspiring when she describes her experience on the other side during her near-death and realizes that there are many professional patients who struggle daily with chronic side effects from cancer treatment. Coupled with other disorders, particularly of the autoimmune kind, she also delves into the psychological aspects of dealing every day with emotions that range from fear to elation and measuring life in moments. This is Amy's first introduction to the public with a strong message in a memoir that will resonate with survivors of any catastrophic illness as well as those who feel they must hide their chronic disabilities to continue to work and tend to their families.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Questions about the Afterlife? You Must Read This A successful young family man seemed to have it all; a beautiful home, a Rockwellian family, new cars, boats, airplanes and European vacations. His only creed was, He who dies with the most toys, wins.Then, just when life seemed perfect . . . a Stanford medical diagnosed him with just 5 months to live, and his whole world came crashing down.As the young family struggled to comprehend what was happening, the 5 months stretched to 12. Being agnostic, he did't believe any after death stories, expecting only oblivion, on death.However, as his wife pondered what would happen to her family, she wanted to do more to fight his dying. But, they had had the best doctors money could buy. So, short of visiting a South American witch doctor, what were they to do?However, as death approached, his pain grew worse and death became more and more attractive. But, to his wife and daughters, this growing acceptance of dying, seemed like abandonment.Then, in the darkness of one early morning, when death finally did come, he found he had been wrong about the oblivion. Instead, he suddenly was falling through space . . . and his afterlife experiences had begun. Here is his first afterlife story as excerpted from, Dying to Really Live: There to greet me was my grandfather, Amos, along with my favorite boyhood dog, Butch, his tail wagging in greeting. And there was my other granddad, with his wry, bemused smile, all central characters in my Rockwellian childhood. There too, was an old rancher who lived across the river from where I grew up, who had always hired me when I needed money, even if he really didn't need any help. Also, there were others; entities I had known and loved in other times and other places, some from this earthly world, some from beyond death; still others from Celestial Realms outside this material Universe. However, all were beloved members of an ancient Soul Group with which I had been reincarnating, over and over, through the endless eons.Before he was returned to his life from beyond death, he was told that to accomplish what he was being sent back to do, he would be need to be taught the use of Inner Guidance. When he got back, he was told to watch for any inner urges or quiet voices within. If deciphered, they would lead him to a small, white book, his handbook about Inner Guidance, and finding it would be his first test. At the time, he had no idea what any of that meant, and when he got back, he still didn't know what to do.Several months after his return, seemingly quite by accident, he just happened to be in a neighboring town, when a small white book found its way into his hands, in a most unusual manner. That evening as he glanced through it, he knew the next step in his education in mysticism, was underway.One morning, a few weeks later, he awoke to find two Entities by his bed, waiting for him. Then, without a word spoken, and leaving his body behind, he was taken once again, beyond life. This time, they revealed something which brought all his earlier afterlife experiences and NDE stories together, in final preparation for what he had been sent back to do.Publishers Note: Here are some other topics found in this NDE Book of afterlife stories and experiences: How our After death experiences affect our future incarnations.Why NDE and afterlife stories and mysticism all are indicators of a global awakening.Why NDE survivors rarely fear death, and how NDE and Afterlife stories on dying and death, help with the fear of what we all face.Buy this #1 Ranked Amazon NDE Book Now, at an Introductory Price.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. When high school valedictorian Ian Murphy was writing his graduation address, a teacher told him that he could not mention Jesus in his speech. She even threatened to pull the plug on the microphone if he tried to do so. Murphy's defiance, in the name of his constitutional rights, made national news, and his zeal to spread the Gospel, no matter the cost, became the defining passion of his life. Murphy's public battle for his freedom of speech is where this conversion story begins, but then it retraces the other important experiences of his youth. He describes his free-spirited Christian parents, his early doubts, the influence of faith-filled relatives and friends, and the spiritual encounter that made him a believer. At a young age, Murphy went from strength to strength as he sought after truth, grew in prayer, and shared his faith with others. But his doubts resurfaced when his friend and mentor, the leader of a Protestant college group, was murdered. After his trust in God was restored, Murphy became a Baptist minister in the Bible Belt, and from there his spiritual journey led him into the Catholic Church. The unexpected twists and turns in Murphy's extraordinary story show that when a man gives his life to Christ, the Lord never lets him go.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. From New York Times bestselling author and blogger Heather B. Armstrong comes an honest and irreverent memoir?reminiscent of the New York Times bestseller Brain on Fire?about her experience as one of only a few people to participate in an experimental treatment for depression involving ten rounds of a chemically induced coma approximating brain death.For years, Heather B. Armstrong has alluded to her struggle with depression on her website, dooce. It?s scattered throughout her archive, where it weaves its way through posts about pop culture, music, and motherhood. But in 2016, Heather found herself in the depths of a depression she just couldn?t shake, an episode darker and longer than anything she had previously experienced. She had never felt so discouraged by the thought of waking up in the morning, and it threatened to destroy her life. So, for the sake of herself and her family, Heather decided to risk it all by participating in an experimental clinical trial involving a chemically induced coma approximating brain death. Now, for the first time, Heather recalls the torturous eighteen months of suicidal depression she endured and the month-long experimental study in which doctors used propofol anesthesia to quiet all brain activity for a full fifteen minutes before bringing her back from a flatline. Ten times. The experience wasn?t easy. Not for Heather or her family. But a switch was flipped, and Heather hasn?t experienced a single moment of suicidal depression since. Disarmingly honest, self-deprecating, and scientifically fascinating, The Valedictorian of Being Dead brings to light a groundbreaking new treatment for depression.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. From the celebrated author of Nickel and Dimed, Barbara Ehrenreich explores how we are killing ourselves to live longer, not better. A razor-sharp polemic which offers an entirely new understanding of our bodies, ourselves, and our place in the universe, Natural Causes describes how we over-prepare and worry way too much about what is inevitable. One by one, Ehrenreich topples the shibboleths that guide our attempts to live a long, healthy life -- from the importance of preventive medical screenings to the concepts of wellness and mindfulness, from dietary fads to fitness culture. But Natural Causes goes deeper -- into the fundamental unreliability of our bodies and even our "mind-bodies," to use the fashionable term. Starting with the mysterious and seldom-acknowledged tendency of our own immune cells to promote deadly cancers, Ehrenreich looks into the cellular basis of aging, and shows how little control we actually have over it. We tend to believe we have agency over our bodies, our minds, and even over the manner of our deaths. But the latest science shows that the microscopic subunits of our bodies make their own "decisions," and not always in our favor. We may buy expensive anti-aging products or cosmetic surgery, get preventive screenings and eat more kale, or throw ourselves into meditation and spirituality. But all these things offer only the illusion of control. How to live well, even joyously, while accepting our mortality -- that is the vitally important philosophical challenge of this book. Drawing on varied sources, from personal experience and sociological trends to pop culture and current scientific literature, Natural Causes examines the ways in which we obsess over death, our bodies, and our health. Both funny and caustic, Ehrenreich then tackles the seemingly unsolvable problem of how we might better prepare ourselves for the end -- while still reveling in the lives that remain to us.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. I don't remember hearing any snorts or whinnies. I don't remember smelling the sweat streaming off the newly unsaddled backs or seeing the dust kicked up by the drumming hooves. The only thing I remember was me, my essence, my soul, popping out of my body several seconds before it was caught up in a stampede. I didn't feel my arm caught in the stirrup or sense the impact of the horse's body as he twisted me around and slammed me with his head. I watched myself cry out as I got squished between the other horses' flanks.​Nor did I feel anything as my skull smashed into the concrete feed trough before I collapsed, unmoving. The total calm and serenity that I, the observer, felt was a stark contrast to my screaming human form. I wondered if everyone disconnected like this before they died?​As the dust settled, I looked down at the empty, crumpled shell. I knew I would never get up again. The whole event only lasted about 30 seconds. So writes Lesley Joan Lupo in a fascinating account of her near-death experience and her trip 'Upstairs' to the realm beyond space and time. Remember, Every Breath is Precious: Dying Taught Me How to Livegives us a glimpse of what might await us all beyond our physical lives.…
