The After Death Chronicles

Book excerpt: This is a book about ordinary people - plumbers, artists, and accountants, bakers and beauticians, teachers and lawyers - who have been able to receive communication from loved ones who have died. Included here are accounts from over 80 people across the country who have had contact with the dead through the diaphanous veil that separates them from the living. The book begins with the story of Annie's dead daughter coming to her in the early morning hours of each day. The communication was so transformative that she began to share her experience with others. Much to her surprise, she discovered that after-death communication is much more common than is normally assumed, and she began to connect with other folks across the country who had similar experiences. Each of the ten chapters is organized around a specific kind of after-death communication. Included here are chapters on dreams, verbatim conversations, and synchronicity through nature and various other physical manifestations, descriptions of the results of these occurrences, and advice on how to open up to after-death communication. This book inspires in the reader reassurance, courage, healing, and a sense of wonder. "I am convinced, the time is ripe for people to recognize the blessing of how frequently our dead beloveds return to reassure us, to help us with our grief, to advise us, to confirm the reality that consciousness continues beyond the grave, and to remind us that there is much more to death than the physical cessation of breath and pulse." -- from the Introduction "Annie Mattingley is the author of a wonderful new book I recommend highly called The After Death Chronicles. Her work offers a collection of different types of personal accounts from people who have experienced convincing communication of one kind or another with deceased loved ones. It is a terrific contribution to the growing body of increasingly credible evidence that our consciousness does indeed continue after death." -- Raymond Moody, MD, PhD, Author of Life After Life "This book is a real treasure, one that will surely bring comfort and reassurance to those who are grieving the loss of a loved one, those facing terminal illness, those seeking greater spiritual insight and people everywhere who yearn for more insight about the transcendent meaning of death. The after-death encounters Annie Mattingley shares with us in her delightful book are powerful teachers, each one. They instruct that while we are indeed mortal because our physical bodies die, there is another aspect of our being which is immortal, a surviving inner essence which continues after the transition we call death to embrace the joyous experience of eternal existence." -- John R.
