Overall an interesting look at many aspects have the evidence for life after our existence here on Earth, but it attempts to cover a lot of disjointed topics in a way that I found disorganized. I was also disappointed that despite an explicit explanation in the Forward that he would not reference God or religion much, he quotes the New Testament, specifically Matthew, many times and refers to Christ's teachings. I was raised with Christian teachings but I believe it does a disservice to people listening to this book for not of Christian teachings. To me he lost credibility in doing this not only because he promised not to, but because I believe the very essence of looking beyond what we think we know about the material world should have a completely agnostic point of reference. It would have been different if he reference the teachings of many religions and quoted their texts as a way of pointing out that all religions have some understanding of the life beyond the one we live on this world rather than quoting scripture more often from just one. Please understand that the book covers a lot more ground than just aspects of religion, but be prepared for those references as well. That said, there is a lot of interesting information here, but because I have had exposure to other similar books, there was no "oh wow" moment for me in listening to this.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
