Of those texts mentioned, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, in my opinion, read so much like an NDE that one could attribute parts of it to someone that had nearly died during a car wreck in 1992, and it would hardly raise an eyebrow among those familiar with NDE experiences. Among those texts were, The Bible, selected writings of Plato, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, and Emanuel Swedenborg, a Swedish philosopher and scientist from the late 1600s who also wrote about the subject of the afterlife. Where 'Life After Life,' shined, however, was a section on comparing modern NDEs to some ancient texts.

It should be noted that with 'Life After Life' being published long before 'Evidence of the Afterlife,' the cases compiled by the Near Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF) are almost identical, making the two books very complimentary to each other. This is in contrast to 'Evidence of the Afterlife,' which compiled a large number of cases from all over the world through use of the Internet. Moody says the number of cases he compiled is not high enough for deep statistical analysis. 'Life After Life,' like 'Evidence of the Afterlife,' attempts to put together some rudimentary statistics and find common elements of NDEs (Near Death Experiences). I was pleasantly surprised, however, when it went off in a few unexpected directions. Moody's book was like reading something I had already read before. Having read 'Evidence of the Afterlife: The Science of Near-Death Experiences,'by Jeffrey Long and Paul Perry, before 'Life After Life,' at first I thought Dr. Interesting book on the Near Death Experience
