Summary: Good start, but disappointing overall
Review: I absolutely adored the description of the author's near-death experience. It is one of the best I have ever read. However, I don't think the techniques she recommends for replicating one's own NDE will work to the extent implied in the title and intro. Sure, maybe one can have an out-of-body experience in a dream, but that is a far different experience than the one she had when she "died," when she went to a supreme heavenly place and felt total joy and bliss. I thought the connection she made between the two was a bit of a stretch.

Summary: Good start, but disappointing overall
Review: Seek out this book. We need more personal stories like hers.Dianne seems as normal and level-headed as anyone. At 28, she was the office manager of a construction company. She owned two dogs. She enjoyed throwing the occasional party for friends. A classical music fan, she played clarinet. Also, she considered herself a devout Catholic. At 28, she died -- electrocuted while fixing a pump in her fish tank. Dianne shares the gritty medical details: shocked by alternating current (more dangerous than direct current), she flew back seven feet to hit the wall. Her heart stopped. Doctors were amazed she woke at all, especially without brain damage. She describes leaving her body. Watching her dogs frantically trying to revive her. Drifting down a tunnel into a white light. Seeing visions, speaking to an entity, undergoing a life review. Skeptics may say, "Yeah, right. Her experience is a checklist for every New Age detail from the silver cord to the life review." I disagree. No one can encounter Dianne's earnest, restrained tone and mistake her for someone cashing in on the New Age movement. Eighteen years later, she still sounds profoundly shaken. You get the feeling she needed the intervening years to process what has happened. Part One describes her experience so vividly you feel you're living it. An impressive Part Two shares her research: many case studies of others' similar experiences. Part Three tells you how to initiate your own out-of-body experience to decide for yourself. (To be honest, I haven't tried yet. However, Dr. Melvin Morse, author of Transformed by the Light, is quoted on the front cover: "I tried it, and it worked for me!" I recommend this book for Dianne's sincerity and commitment to her subject. It's a welcome addition to the life-after-death debate.
