This book and its predecessor, Dead Man Watching, WestBow Press, 2017, is all about people of Christian faith who have actually or almost died with all the medical indicators. This description can be used in the historical sense, as with Abraham Lincoln or JFK. While there may or may not have been actual medical certificates of death, these stories are nonetheless about people who were actually dead or nearly dead and came to life again or survived near death. The mystery of how this happens in each case is attributed to faith and calling upon the mercy of God in the name of Jesus Christ.
The many responses to Dr. John Haart's first book, Dead Man Watching, WestBow Press, 2017, became the motivation for this sequel publication. The author's eagerness to tell his story and witness to the mercy of God in life and death has been met with similar responses on a multiple of occasions, "I also have a story to tell you," or some variation thereof. Those accounts have been recreated as word pictures and some illustrations to provide the reader with the more incredible accounts of revival or survival from death or near death by the mercy of God. The key element of these accounts is prayer and faith as opposed to evening news oddities titled:
"Can you believe this actually happened?"
This entire story is about the mercy of God from beginning to multiple ends; it is a modern testimony of how God works in mysterious ways through and over many stages of life. The amazing revelation for all those who read these stories is that these are real people who died or almost died, and they are now talking to you about the miraculous interventions of God in death and life again. In a very real way this book is an auto-obituary of those who witnessed their own deaths or near deaths and now live to tell their stories.
