Publisher's summary

A rare glimpse into heaven, hell, and previous lives.

Dr. Rajiv Parti's near-death experience brought him on a journey through the afterworld, leading to a spiritual awakening that transformed his career, his lifestyle, and even his fundamental beliefs.

Before his near-death experience, Dr. Rajiv Parti was a wealthy man of science with a successful career as the chief of anesthesiology at the Bakersfield Heart Hospital in California. He demanded the same success from his son, whose failures provoked episodes of physical abuse from Dr. Parti. All in all, Dr. Parti was the last man to believe in heaven or hell - that is, until he saw them with his own eyes.

When Dr. Parti had his near-death experience on the operating table, he first watched his own operation from the ceiling - even recalling a joke told by his doctors during his surgery. He was greeted by archangels and his deceased father, who led him through the tortures of hell and revealed the toxic cycle of violence that has plagued his family for generations. He even reviewed the struggles of his previous lives, which in many ways reflected those he still faced in the present. Finally he experienced heaven. From the angels he learned lessons of spiritual health that they insisted he bring down to earth. To do so, Dr. Parti knew, he had to change his ways.

After his near-death experience, Dr. Parti awoke a new man. He gave away his mansion, quit his career, opened a wellness clinic, and completely turned around his relationships with his family. To this day he still converses with angels and spreads their wisdom to the living.

In this remarkable true story of spiritual transformation, Dr. Parti provides rare details of heaven, hell, the afterlife, and angels. In sharing the lessons and eternal truths from the divine that changed him forever, Dr. Parti offers his audience the opportunity to attain peace and live better lives here on earth.

Simple, practical...enlightenment.

Sometimes we seek and make the goal harder than it is. This account gives me great personal hope for me and others.

Wake up call!!!

This book could not have come at a better time. My husband and I were driving home from a vacation when we got upsetting news. We listened to this book on a 6 Hour Drive home, completely turned us around, we arrived home happy and content rather than what would have been miserable fear laced drive....loved every second of this book!!

Really loved this book!

Things I liked about this book:
▪️The narrator was outstanding. His voice was so soothing.
▪️The author of this book had a wonderful writing style. There were chapters that were so meaningful that I had to re-listen to them. I plan on listening to this book again!
▪️The author was not ‘preachy’ towards any religion. He encompassed every religion and also drew in those who didn’t have any religious affiliation.
▪️Personally I got more out of this book then any of the other books from this genre.
Thank you to Rajiv Parti MD, Paul Perry and Raymond Moody Jr. MD for a wonderful book!

Thank God and his archangels for Rajiv/Michael!

This is one of those books that if you found it, then it was meant for you. Waiting for you to explore and connect what you already know — and thank god can hear it from a rational scientist, honest soul and, turns out, a tender hearted-author. Listen to this book and then listen again and again. And then again.

Great book I highly recommend it

I know about NDE's however I held back because must of them seemed to always happened to Christian people or someone deeply religious. However THIS IS NOT THE CASE. His experience has helped him to become a better person. By sharing his NDE he shares the message of GOD. Overall a great book with a lot a meaningful lessons we all need.
