In Closer to the Light, Dr Morse explored the near-death experiences of child survivors. Now he presents testimony from adults which he believes may serve to alter people's views on death and dying. The book sets out to prove that those who return from the brink of death are profoundly changed for the better, both spiritually and physically, for the rest of their lives; that they are healthier and have fewer psychosomatic complaints, are happier psychologically, and have stronger family ties, more zest for living, a greatly diminished fear of death, and a significantly increased psychic ability.
