One of the world's top researchers in near-death studies, Dr. P. M. H. Atwater reveals the patterns and conclusions emerging from her interviews with thousands of adults and children, sharing wisdom from her definitive book Near-Death Experiences: The Rest of the Story ~ What They Teach Us About Living, Dying, and Our True Purpose.  After personally surviving three NDEs herself, P. M. H. became a pioneer and internationally recognized authority in investigating near-death experiences, completing 10 books on her findings since starting her work in this area in 1978. What are common characteristics of NDEs? What are these experiences telling us? How can we begin to come to terms with NDEs exhibiting both dark and light qualities? What is a "Near-Death-Like" experience? We honestly explore what the evidence conveys. P. M. H. has won many awards, speaks around the world,  and has appeared on numerous TV and radio programs, including Larry King Live, Sally Jessy Raphael, Regis & Kathie Lee, Entertainment Tonight, Geraldo, and Coast to Coast AM.  She has lectured twice at the United Nations. She also inspires others through her work as a prayer chaplain and spiritual counselor. P. M.
