P. M. H. Atwater, L.H.D. is one of the original researchers in the field of near-death studies, having begun her work in 1978. She has written fifteen books on her findings and is one of the top ranking experts internationally. Her most recent book is Dying to Know You: Proof of God in the Near-Death Experience. It is the people’s book – a summation of the words of over 4,000 adult and child experiencers of near-death states – their experience, their truth, their wisdom.
