Put your GPS aside. Same goes for your MapQuest. For this trip, AAA can't be of help alongside the road. This journey sets out to conquer the mountains of science, the vast fields of religion and the many ordinary people across America who claim they've been to 'the promised land." Dr. Eben Alexander, with Ptolemy Tompkins, have authored a New York Times runaway bestseller titled, The Map of Heaven, a compelling book that shares stories of everyday people who have told Alexander of their spiritual trips to the afterlife!

In his first bestseller, Proof of Heaven, Dr. Alexander described his own vivid recollection of the experiences he had in a near miss with death. In that book, he talks about visiting the afterlife, something that - as a doctor - flew in the face of what he formerly believed.

Kasey and I welcomed Dr. Eben Alexander back to New Bedford, where he visited during his first book's tour. The Map of Heaven is part a metaphysical detective story and part manual for living. And it's a narrative that reawakens in us who we really are and what our true destiny is.
