VISIONS OF THE AFTER LIFE with author Dr. John Lerma

Despite our advancements in science and medicine, death remains one of human civilization's most glorious mysteries. A handful of doctors have written books on phenomena such as near-death experiences, but research and data is scarce on pre-death experiences. Because of this lack of information, Dr. John Lerma has devoted his career to compiling anecdotal and scientific research on pre-death experiences from the countless of terminally-ill patients he lovingly cares for as a doctor and director at The Medical Center of Houston, Texas. Now, in the ground breaking book, Into The Light, Dr. Lerma shares his valuable research and guidance in 16 inspirational stories of children and adults confronting their deaths through the comforting visions of divine beings. By presenting the mysterious visions, synchronicities, and angelic conversations terminally ill patients encounter, Dr. Lerma shows how knowledge of death can ease the pain and fear as we prepare to enter into the light. Gary E. Schwartz, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology and Medicine at the University of Arizona states, "Finally, a science-minded physician has addressed the phenomenon of pre-death experiences with compassion, comprehension, and candor. . . ." Dr. John Lerma studied at The University of Texas at Austin and is Board certified in Hospice and Palliative Medicine, Dr. Lerma is widely recognized for his compassionate care of terminally-ill patients and research in the field of end of life care. www.johnlerma.com
