After her husband's death, his wife experienced "signs" like switching off and on of lights etc., which she did not understand. She tried to get the explanation of this phenomenon by the clergy of different denominations, but she could not get any answers.She decided to do her own research with the help of books that deal with afterlife. She is writing about her ¿ ndings in her book "Doctor's Life Beyond". The book talks about what happens when people die a "clinical death" and what they talk about when they are brought back to life with the help of the modern resuscitation process. She also explains why Darwin's Theory of evolution was not fully accepted yet. She is talking about some of the scientist's views of a designer of the word and the life on it. She is mentioning the scriptures and why we can believe in what is written in the Bible. Most people want scienti¿ c explanations, but science can't explain what people so desperately want to know, namely how life originated and why we are here.

I figure maybe I could help others realize life can be a wonderful journey when one understands why many of us suffer for no good reason. A lot of it stems from the way we fall victim to our own thought patterns and the way we think about things. This is the first book in the series to help you begin to open your mind and become self-aware of your own beliefs. I would like to urge you to ask yourself "Why do you think as you do?" and "Is your own thinking stopping you from a life of satisfaction?" No matter how bad your life appears to be, there is a brighter future in store for anyone who learns the reason to ask "Why."
