The few who survive usually remain in a near vegetative state the rest of their life.

Less than one in ten million adults contract bacterial meningitis, and the majority of these die. In Alexander’s case, it completely shut down his neo-cortex and sent him into a near brain-dead seven-day coma. What initially intrigued me about this book was that this Near Death Experience (NDE) account was from a reputable neurosurgeon (Eben Alexander) who had inexplicably contracted an extremely rare form of bacterial meningitis that literally eats the brain, beginning with the neo-cortex. In this review I’d like to first provide a general overview of Proof of Heaven and then analyze it from a theological perspective.Ī friend told me about Proof of Heaven several weeks ago after hearing about it on a T.V. Proof of Heaven is a recently released book by Eben Alexander that is receiving a lot of acclaim.
