IN MY TIME OF DYING How I Came Face to Face With the Idea of an Afterlife

What binds listeners to this absorbing memoir is the compelling question provoked by the author's near-death experience: What happens to us after our physical bodies die? The author spends most of this audio detailing the high-risk treatments he received for a nasty aneurysm, describing the commonalities of near-death experiences, and reviewing what science can and cannot tell us about the afterlife. Junger's storytelling is notable for its evocative imagery and the visceral authenticity of his lyrical writing. The author's fully present performance, along with his handsome vocal tone and amiable phrasing, makes his narration a perfect vehicle for this kind of memoir, a satisfying way to hear how Junger's crisis changed his views on life and what's beyond it. This and his palpable wonder and vulnerability make this an absorbing and possibly life-changing audiobook. T.W. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2024]
