Through advances in medical technology a vast number of people have literally been brought back to life from the brink of death. In recent years published accounts of such Near-Death-Experiences (NDEs) have fascinated readers world-wide. Now this book opens an exciting new chapter in the field of NDE research by presenting a comprehensive affirmation of the NDE by an established world religion. Although less than 150 years old, the Baha'i Faith is already the second most widespread religion after Christianity. Its teachings of world unity offer a ray of hope to a planet plagued with religious and ethnic division, and economic and environmental injustice.
