title: Messages From the Light: True Stories of Near-Death Experiences and Communication from the Other Side
author:  Christopher Coppes 
description: "Coppes has written a book that we would do well to read in ordinary times, but one that we must absolutely read in these extraordinary times. It gives key insights into what's wrong, why, and what we can do about it. And the source of this insight is nothing less than the experiences of people who reached the portals of death and came back to tell us about what they saw and heard and understood."<br />--Ervin Laszlo, founder of the Club of Budapest and author of <i>Science and the Akashic Field</i><br /><br />"This book plainly shows that denying the spiritual values inherent in NDEs contributed to the worldwide economic calamity. In this sense, this book gives an amazing insight into how we can best change our behavior."<br />--Raymond Moody, MD, author of <i>Life After Life</i><br /><br />"<b>Messages From the Light</b> provides not only detailed reports from hundreds of people who have had near-death experiences, but gives the context on why such experiences occur, and the deeper messages that are being conveyed, not just to those who experience near death, but to all of us, whatever our personal belief system."<br />--William Gladstone, international best-selling author of <i>The Twelve</i>

  Chris was about to question Raul about his sudden interest in Chris and
  Kegan’s relationship when his friend, Ben Johnston, drove up to the curb and
  stepped out of the car. He leaned over the roof to speak with Chris, but his
  gaze seemed to linger on Raul who stood off to Chris’s left. Chris turned to
  look at Raul and realized he was returning the strange stare.
