Book Description

For years Howard Storm lived as a successful art professor and painter. Suddenly he was in excruciating pain and awaiting surgery in a hospital, realizing that death was a real possibility. As an atheist, he was convinced this would be the end. Instead, he found himself out of his body, staring back at his physical form. Drawn into fearsome realms of darkness and death, he experienced the terrible consequences of a life of selfish materialism. He also traveled to regions of light, where he conversed with angels. But the Lord of Light sent him back with a message of love. This is the story of a near-death, recovery, and transformation — of lessons from spiritual beings about the future, the meaning of life, life after death, the role of angels, and much more. Includes eight pages of illustrations.

“This is a book you devour from cover to cover, and pass on to others. This is a book you will quote in your daily conversation. Storm was meant to write it and we were meant to read it.”

Descent into?.......2005-05-23

I first heard Howard Storm's amazing story on Coast-to-Coast AM (http://www.coasttocoastam.com), with Art Bell...so I purchased the book - big mistake. I had expected that the story of his amazing journey would be more eliborated upon, instead, after being drawn into the book I read "I haven't described everything that happened. There are things that I don't care to remember.". This was a total let down. As I said I expected to read about the entire journey into death. Instead the book went on and on about how Love = God. Everyone has their own beliefs and everyone has their own experiences. I don't disbelieve Howard's personal journey, however I don't think that everyone has to become part of a catholic religion or even believe in something called "God" to be a good person or to carry out love and goodness in their own actions within the world. This book was a let down.

From Darkness to Light ... Good over Evil.......2005-02-28

From atheist to evangelist, Howard Storm's DESCENT takes the reader on a personal journey from the bowels of darkness to the heights of spiritual enlightenment & ultimately the victory of good over evil / light over darkness. The style of writing & wonderfully descriptive scenes allow for an easy read that moves the reader along on a pace that makes NOT turning the next page impossible. I applaud the author's courage to open his life & soul for all to examine & the ultimate triumph he experienced and now shares with others to show them the hope & light that is theirs to have as well. If you enjoyed Mr.Storm's journey of good over evil, light over darkness, I recommend MANHATTAN MESSIAH, another excellant read.

Skeptical.......2005-01-18

NOTE: I HAVE NOT READ THIS BOOK YET

...but, I'm skeptical to it's significance because on the hardcover edition Anne Rice has written the Foreword. If this guy is supposed to be a pastor and a christian then why is he letting this "vampire author" tarnish his book and message!

Boo!

Validates the MESSAGE of All Other Near Death Experiences.......2004-08-08

I heard of this book only recently, and was glad to find it still in print. I read the whole thing in one day. I am not a strong Christian, but did know in advance that this book (particularly the second half) was written from a strongly Christian perspective. However, I did not find this a turn-off, and I can recommend this book to others of ANY religion, including atheists, as was Storm, before his experience.

The important message from this book was that God DOES exist, and that we ARE here for a REASON. That reason is to learn to LOVE one another, which was the message of Jesus, and the message of every major religion. Storm points out that the same truths are in every religion, and even that the idea of God has been given to beings on every planet where there is intelligent life. But it is up to each individual to accept or reject God, here, or on any other planet.

I did not find a lot of totally new ideas in this book, having read several other books on near death experiences. But I did really enjoy reading about Storm's experience, and seeing that the message of his book conforms closely to the message of others' near-death experiences, from multiple cultures. It is an interesting read, and I HIGHLY recommend it to EVERYONE.

Great, inspiring but left me with questions.......2004-06-04

Well, this book did affect me . As a lapsed Christian, it made me think about God and Jesus . It gave me a clearer picture of Jesus.I thought it gave a more personal clear picture of Jesus as a being, as he relates to people.The descriptions of Heaven were just... wow.
There are a few things that trouble me. He said he was dragged off to hell not by fallen angels commonly known as demons but by mortal people who died and rejected God. He said he was told by the angels that there are other intelligent beings in the universe, other worlds.
All that goes directly against Christian theology which leaves me very confused.My confusion probably stops me from being able to give a deeper more vivid review of the book.I have no doubt he is being sincere. His truthfulness shines from the pages,but I'm just having a hard time processing that.
If you are interested in NDE's get this book. Its different from a lot of ones out there on the same subject. Not many are told from a converted Christian point of view.
