Dr. Eben Alexander, a prominent neurosurgeon writes of life, death, and the afterlife.
Dr. Alexander doesn’t write about his countless patients.
Dr. Alexander writes firsthand about his death, afterlife, and new beliefs. As a neurosurgeon he had found it hard to discern God, the soul, and the brain.
