Product Description
"Death is nothing to fear - and life without fear can be lived to the fullest."This is Kimberly Clark Sharp's message from her extraordinary experience during the time after her heart suddenly stopped beating and she lay on the sidewalk, not breathing, and without a pulse. Swept into a peaceful loving place of brilliant golden light and warm comfort, she saw, for the first time, the meaning of life - and death. Thereafter, Kimberly, with hamster Toto at her side, left Kansas for Seattle - known as "the Emerald City" -- to fulfill a destiny devoted to the service of others as foreseen at the end of her near-death experience. Guided by a new sensitivity to the presence of angels, demons and other invisibilities, Kimberly attained a Masters degree in Social Work at the University of Washington and began a career in medical social work that put her in direct contact with dying people - and people who almost died and came back. It is the inspirational stories of these near-death experiences, as well as Kimberly's own life challenges in love, family life and the diagnosis of breast cancer, that form the core of this surprisingly funny page-turner of a book.

A Very Readable Account of some primary-source NDE's February 9, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The author experienced a brief NDE at age 22. She doesn't go into a lot of detail about this experience, since she "repressed" the experience at the time, most of the book is her account of her life afterward and how it was affected/changed. Through her work as a social worker at a hospital, she encountered a number of other people who had NDE's, and she realized that her experience had turned on her psychic sensitivity in such a way that she could empathize with these patients, as well as see angels and demons. Her accumulating experiences with people who had these experiences led her into being more overtly involved with the subject, and recalling and exploring the nuances of her own experience. Through this process, she has become involved in giving talks about how the medical community should respond to patients' NDE's, and being involved with NDE-related groups. The NDE and the lack of fear of death it engendered in her helps her as she goes through traumatic events in her life such as the death of friends, and personal health problems.
If you have read a number of books on this topic (such as by Raymond Moody, etc.) this book will be interesting due to the fact that Kim Clark actually reports the first-person version of a number of "famous" NDE cases which are quoted by Moody and others in their books, such as the story about the NDE experiencer who "proved" her experience by observing an abandoned tennis shoe on the outside ledge of the hospital, which the author later found and determined could not have been seen by anyone except someone "floating" above the hospital as reported. There are several other oft-told NDE stories in other literature which Kim Clark reports on in first person here - it is interesting to have a primary source for these stories.
The book is very well-written and one turns the pages quickly.
 A little odd... January 30, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Although I enjoy the subject of near-death experiences, this story got a little out of what you might call the grip of reality. Sharp talks about battling demons (literally!), beams of light emanating from her chest, and having psychic visions. I'm sorry but I think the author is a little bit "off", to put it tactfully.

Very positive and forward thinking book. I couldn't put it down. I would highly recommend for anyone interested in the subject of near-death-experiences and how it can change your life.
