When author Glenn Hermann first heard tales of Yup'ik Eskimo Abraham George's near-death experience, he greeted the story with serious skepticism.
George, the village drunk, claimed that an otherworldly being guided him through heaven, outer darkness, and hell during the hours he lay unconscious and on the brink of death following a logging accident.
Yet as Hermann dug deeper into George's story-and into the supernatural occurrences following his miraculous recovery-the former military man had to acknowledge that something spectacular had happened to the Yup'ik man.
Now, Hermann invites readers to experience the life-altering journey and message proclaimed by George for themselves.
Whether you believe in heaven or an afterlife-or are looking for more proof that it's all a bunch of hogwash-dare to travel beyond your understanding of birth and death, and everything in between. Examine Abraham George's claims and the evidence for and against the veracity of his message. Sift through the testimony and judge for yourself.
Just don't expect to come away unchanged.
