Weeks After Bestseller “Proof of Heaven” Hits the Shelves, A Genuine Trailblazer in Afterlife Research To Be Released — “The Last Frontier”

PALO ALTO, CA (October 17, 2012) - In his soon to be out bestseller, “Proof of Heaven”, neurosurgeon Eben Alexander describes his sensational near-death experience (NDE). Before his NDE, he believed in the conventional view of NDEs as brain-based illusions. After his NDE, he made an about-face. He is now convinced that his journey proves the existence of heaven. For most people a book about one man’s experience won’t be enough to prove survival after death. But another book will, “The Last Frontier: Exploring the Afterlife and Transforming Our Fear of Death”, to be released November 13 by New World Library. 

The Last Frontier serves as the perfect complement to Proof of Heaven. It too is written by an Ivy League academic, Julia Assante (PhD Columbia University). Assante is a specialist of the ancient Near East, with comprehensive knowledge of spiritual, religious and magical practices beginning with the dawn of writing in Egypt and Mesopotamia. She has taught at Columbia and Bryn Mawr, and lectured worldwide.

But Assante is more than just an academic. She is also a highly gifted intuitive with over four decades of experience with the afterlife. When she was clinically tested for telepathy at Columbia University in 1986, her results were off the charts.

The author brings science, history, sociology, and unique personal experience into her evaluation of the many thousands of testimonies of NDEs, afterlife communications, reincarnational memories and much, much more. According to her, the afterlife is mostly shaped by individual and mass consciousness. Important features like love, forgiveness, and a luminous benign presence as well as the absence of a heaven-hell dualism and judgment cut across time and place. She also shows that "Death is not what separates us from the departed. Fear is.”

Assante’s book has been praised by such luminaries in mind/body/spirit research as Deepak Chopra, MD, Larry Dossey, MD, and Dean Radin, PhD. Dossey was right when he wrote — “Some books transform lives. This one may transform a planet.”
