In 1975, Dr. Raymond Moody coined the term near-death experience in his book Life After Life (https://amzn.to/3m7MxHs). For half a century, he has researched some of life’s greatest mysteries. As both a PhD in philosophy and an MD, he has had a strong interest in how medical realities intersect with the ineffable realm of philosophy. Throughout his five-decade career, he has explored themes related to the transpersonal aspects of death, dying and grief. In his book Glimpses of Eternity (https://amzn.to/3m54p5K), he discusses the phenomena of shared-death experiences. He writes about his inquiry into past lives in his book Coming Back and shares methods for evoking the dead, from Ancient Greece to modern times, in his book Reunions (https://amzn.to/31Rv3Z1). He is also the author of God is Bigger Than the Bible (https://amzn.to/3oWVAwM), and is one of the leading authorities on Life, Death and Experiences in between.

Bill Guggenheim is a pioneer in the field of After-Death Communication (ADC) experiences. He is considered to be the "Father of ADC research" and has written and spoken on this subject for more than 25 years. In May of 1974, Bill experienced a spiritual awakening that would shape the rest of his life. Over the course of four months, he received messages from the "other side" that challenged all of his beliefs. These messages (writings) consisted of short stories, philosophy, parables, and poetry - all of which affirmed life after death - something he literally did not believe in. Bill is the author of 'Hello From Heaven' which considers 3,300 firsthand accounts of After Death Communication and delves deeper in 353 of these experiences.

In this episode of the Let’s Talk Near Death podcast, Jacob shares his NDE, what he learned from the experience, and how this shaped his life path.
