Synopsis:

“The chronicle of a scientist and humanitarian on a journey of discovery into the mysteries of death and what comes after . . . [a] lovely book.”— #1 New York Times bestselling author
 
In the groundbreaking book, Dr. John Lerma shares his valuable research on pre-death hallucinations from the countless terminally ill patients he lovingly cares for as a doctor and director at The Medical Center of Houston, Texas. Sixteen inspirational stories chronicle children and adults confronting their deaths through the comforting visions of divine beings. By presenting these mysterious visions, synchronicities, and angelic conversations his patients encounter, Dr. Lerma shows how knowledge of death can ease the pain and fear as we prepare to enter into the light.
 
In this book you will learn: the exhilarating and calming elements of pre-death experiences; healing during the dying process; the difference between hallucinations and visions; and self-forgiveness and self-love as the key to a joyous life and a peaceful transition. The mystical experiences described here delve into the creation of the universe, past and future extinctions, dark angels and white angels, selfless suffering and its effect on humanity, free will as the vital ingredient to create on earth and in heaven, and many more incredible revelations. The poignant stories in Into the Light will leave you feeling uplifted in faith, hope, and love.
 
“Finally, a science-minded physician has addressed the phenomenon of pre-death experiences with compassion, comprehension, and candor . . . you will be uplifted and inspired by this book.”—Gary E. Schwartz, PhD, professor of psychology and medicine at the University of Arizona and author of Super Synchronicity

He is widely known for his compassionate and loving care of hundreds of terminally ill patients, as well as his tenure as the inpatient medical director for the internationally renowned Medical Center Hospice of Houston, Texas. Because the inpatient unit is located in the heart of the largest medical center in the world, he has worked closely with MD Anderson Hospital, the leading cancer institute in the world in research and teaching. After obtaining a degree in pharmacy at the University of Texas at Austin, he entered medical school at the University of Texas San Antonio and, years later, finished his training in internal medicine. Over the last 10 years he has focused his career in the field of hospice and palliative medicine. Board-certified in internal medicine as well as hospice and palliative medicine, Dr. Lerma is recognized for his compassionate care of hospice and palliative patients as well as research in the field of pre-death experiences. While working at the Medical Center in Houston, he was involved with teaching hospice and palliative medicine to medical students, residents, and geriatric, oncology and palliative fellows from several institutions. As an international speaker, Dr. Lerma is recognized for his signature lecture, ''Pre-Death Experiences: A Hospice Physician's Perspective on Spirituality and the Terminally Ill.'' He is a frequent guest of local, national, and international media. Dr. Lerma is creating a non-profit company titled Hearts without Borders, which will take the hospice concept to underserved areas in South America. His organization's current project is to organize a hospice team and travel to several Mexican and South American cities to aid governments and physicians in giving birth to the wonderful gift of hospice.
