"My Descent Into Death" Amazon: Five Stars *****
"While visiting Paris on a European tour nearly 20 years ago, 38-year-old Storm, an atheist and art professor at Northern Kentucky University, was stricken with an almost lethal attack of peritonitis. In this necessarily subjective but absorbing chronicle of what is essentially a conversion, the writer describes a descent into Hell, where he confronted his anger and self-centered personality. After praying for the first time, he was rescued by Jesus and brought to heaven for an extensive conversation with Jesus and various angelic beings on topics that include the Holocaust, God's plans for the earth, angelology and, of course, what happens to us when we die. Blending traditional Christian theology with a doctrinal eclecticism more common to New Age philosophy, Storm's book may appeal to readers hungry for reassurance, both about the possibility of eternal life and the meaning of our choices here on earth."
Read it, this book is great for all who believe and especially for those who don't. I have to say the chapter on his descent into "hell" freaked me out!!!!!!!! I can't emphasis this point enough, you want to talk chills! The way this book is written it justs paints a very clear picture in your head the whole time....easy reading b/c of it.
