The Miracle of Death
is an inspiring narrative of one family's extraordinary grief
experiences, including precognitive dreams, visions, after-death
communications, out-of-body experiences, and synchronistic events,
surrounding multiple deaths in their family. The sole survivor and
narrator is a Western trained academic who initially struggled to
accept realities that ultimately changed every aspect of her life.
Weaving personal, historical and mythic perspectives, Dr. Betty Kovács
shows us that such individual experiences, along with cutting-edge
scientific research, support a radical change in the way we think about
death—and life.
