Here’s What Upper West Siders Hoard When Natural Disasters Approach [West Side Rag]

Title: “Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Afterlife”

Author: Eben Alexander, M.D.

Rank: 1

Blurb: “While his body lay in coma, Alexander journeyed beyond this world and encountered an angelic being who guided him into the deepest realms of super-physical existence. There he met, and spoke with, the Divine source of the universe itself.”

Review: “I particularly liked his honesty in dealing with his battles with depression, and his sense of rejection stemming from his having been an adopted child.”

Customers Also Bought: “The Rainbow Bridge: Pet Loss Is Heaven’s Gain” by Niki Behrikis Shanahan.

Footnote: If you need proof, you’re doing it wrong.
