Is There More Than This?

An Introduction

Have you ever wondered what this life is all about? Have you ever wondered what happens after this life is over? Maybe a Christian upbringing has helped with some of these questions. I created this tiny little resource to try to point people to an additional source of evidence and hope to help people to overcome the many challenges in our lives. I hope you find these NDE resources as incredible and helpful as I have.

What is a Near Death Experience (NDE)

An NDE is a distinct subjective experience that a minority of people report after a near-death episode. In a near-death episode, a person is either clinically dead, near death, or in a situation where death is likely or expected. These circumstances include serious illness or injury, such as from a car accident, military combat, childbirth, or suicide attempt. People in extreme conditions such as profound grief, deep meditation, or extreme physical exertion—or sometimes people just going about their normal lives—have described experiences that seem just like NDEs—near-death-like experiences (NDLEs)—even though these people were not near death. Many near-death experiencers (NDErs) have said the term “near-death” is not correct; they are sure that they were in death, not just near-death. Nevertheless, because they were not permanently, irreversibly dead, the term “near-death” can be understood to mean “actually in the first moments of death though not permanently dead.”

What do well Respected Institutions Have to Say?

Before you think these resources are just fringe entities that shouldn’t be trusted and don’t hold much weight, what if I told you Scientific American, The National Institute of Health, National Public Radio (NPR), and The Guardian have published articles on this topic. Would you believe them?

How Steve Did It

Being from Northeast Ohio, I thought I'd include some stories from a Clevelander who made it big, and let him explain how he made it big, and to Whom he gives the credit. If you’re thinking, what can I learn about God from a comedian, here is a sample YouTube video.
