In December 1943, 20-year-old Army private George Ritchie died of pneumonia. Nine minutes later, he came back profoundly changed. What happened to him while his dead body lay under a sheet would change his life and that of his family, friends and patients.
George Ritchie briefly retells the story of that strange experience and then tells what happened later, including the real miracles that he saw in his years of practice as a doctor and psychiatrist. Included here are powerful stories of physical and emotional healing that were shaped by those nine minutes on the other side.
What's more, using plain, everyday examples from life, he offers penetrating insights into what is wrong with life today and how it can be set right.
"George Ritchie's gripping account of his near-death experience and subsequent spiritual transformation is the best such book in print. Dr. Ritchie is the finest man I've ever known, and I urge everyone who is interested in the extraordinary visions of the dying to read Ordered to Return." Raymond Moody, PhD, MD, author of Life After Life, inspired by Dr. George Ritchie's story
