Incredibly fortunate does not begin to describe this man.

That was quite an NDE he had. Obviously NOT a hallucination etc etc, because he was a completely changed man in less than 30 minutes. From “double atheist” to devout believer almost instantly. His wife and close friends, also atheists, could not understand such a sudden and radical change. Storm and his wife divorced a few years later, and he remarried a devout Christian.

From what I have read, hellish NDE’s account for about 40% of NDE’s. Obviously a hellish NDE cannot be dissmissed as wishful thinking or euhoria from lack of oxygen.

Also we have all had really vivid dreams and even hallucinations from the effects of medication. Yet even though at the time they seem real, we quickly understand they are not. For those who have had NDEs they become the strongest memories they ever had.

I hung on every word. I cried with joy for this man. How lucky to have been touched by the most loving and merciful Man in the universe.

ALL Praise, Honor and Glory to my Lord Jesus Christ.

thank you for post this.

Zot — The story has familiar pieces of evidence of Jesus’ rescuing those in need who call to him. And it is interesting on where the little voice may have originated who reminded him to call out for help.

This story made me cry. I met a man, Dannion Brinkley, who was struck by lightning years ago and died in the hosptial. He was dead for 22 minutes and it was documented by the hospital and doctors. He was wheeled out in the hallway, put into a room and covered with a sheet, waiting to be wheeled to the morgue. During this time, he relived his life and saw how horrible he had been. He, too, experienced the light and the love and it completely changed his life. His best friend came into the room to say a final goodbye and saw the sheet moving over Dannion’s mouth and screamed for the doctors and Dannion was saved. His story is incredible and inspiring.
A friend of my mother’s also had a life after death experience and saw the doctor talking to his wife which he was able to recount when he was brought back. He spoke of the light and the absolute love.

It is going to be amazing!!!!!

Hallelujah! All praise and glory to our Lord God for His mercy and His grace! What a wonderful and frightening testimony—may his first wife change her mind and heart.

The major international city and capitol of France and they couldn’t find a doctor?!!! Were they all on holiday?

Nice story.

As a sinner who has come to see the Truth, I can say that Jesus is so obviously our Savior.

If you listen to His advice, you live a life filled with joy and productiveness. If you do the opposite, your life becomes a miserable pile.

As they say...the proof is in the pudding.

There's the proof!

I have read a number of accounts of life-after-death experiences but nothing like this one. Just amazing. That’s all I can say.

Wow, a two-fer! The truth about Jesus and socialized medicine in modern/industrialized nations!
