So this is what I consider the best afterlife reading list. People who know even a little about me know that I am a believer in the afterlife, but not in a traditional sense. We all want to know, right? But we don’t want to die to find out. So we’re not dying to know and we won’t know for sure until we die.
Or almost die.
Still…there’s plenty of scientific evidence and even more anecdotal evidence. So from time to time I’m asked, ” what should I read if I want to get up to speed on the latest afterlife evidence,?”
This list contains some of my favorites. It isn’t definitive, but it certainly gives a really good overview of what’s being done by the major figures in afterlife studies. All of the titles are live links.
The Afterlife Experiments: Breakthrough Scientific Evidence of Life After Death by Gary Schwartz, PhD
The G.O.D Experiments: How Science is Discovering God in Everything, Including Us also by Gary Schwartz, PhD
Gary’s a big deal. His studies are scientifically rigorous and his results are mind-blowing. I’ve seen him many times at conferences and symposia and let me tell you, he goes over his scientific method in detail in those loooong presentations. The books aren’t quite so dense! Anything he’s written is worth reading, these are just two of them.
Proof of Heaven by Eben Alexander MD
I really believe certain people are called, usually doctors, because they have that medical credibility going for them. There are at least two docs who had near-death experiences and wrote about them. Here’s one. Yes, there have been attacks on Dr. Alexander’s credibility. However, his story is worth reading.
The Last Frontier: Exploring the Afterlife and Transforming our Fear of Death by Julia Assante, PhD
I’ve seen Julia a few times, too. This is a pretty comprehensive book and one of my favorites.
The Afterlife Unveiled: What the Dead are Telling Us About Their World by Stafford Betty, PhD
Dr. Betty is a riveting speaker and his book is super-intriguing.
Wolf’s Message by Suzanne Giesemann
It’s riveting. But anything Suzanne writes is riveting because she has so much credibility. She is a former Navy Commander and aide to the Head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who is now a medium. Yes, you read that right. I’ve seen her a few times and I love her! Anything she writes is worth reading.
A Lawyer Presents the Case for the Afterlife by Victor Zammit.
I’ve met Victor and he and his wife, Wendy, are amazing. The link takes you to a free PDF of his book. Free because he believes that strongly and wants to get the message out.
I’m Not Dead, I’m Different by Hollister Rand
Hollister has read for me many times. This is probably the easiest to read and best written of any of the books–and it’s not just about kids, actually. Even though that’s how she titles it. It’s a tremendously good overview of the afterlife and what souls are all about.
I suggest you look at the book reviews online and sample pages to see what appeals to you most. They’re all excellent; what you might like is an individual thing.
I just read this post about the best afterlife reading list again as I prepare to schedule it and I realize just how deep my own study of this subject has been and how many of these people I have seen and heard speak. And of course, I’ve read all of the books. If you have any curiosity at all, I hope you’ll pick one or two up. Be prepared to, well, just be prepared!

Great resources, both for enlightenment and comfort!
Wow I didnt know there were so many books on theories on the afterlife. I am actually highly interesting in Near Death Experiences and read so many stories and whats interesting its so many different alternatives but a lot of them are very similar!
Thanks for the list Carol and I’ve shared on social media. Have a great day!
These are really interesting books to read. I believe in life after death, and that death is only the end of our physical existence but our souls live forever. Thanks for the list. I will have to think long and hard which one to pick up first.
I’m still a little unsure of what I think about the afterlife but these books are really interesting. It can definitely feed your curiosity about the afterlife!
These are such great book recommendations. I need to pick one up before our last trip of the summer!
I love to read these types of books. Problem is, I don’t have much time to read anymore
I always love afterlife stories on movies. I would love to read these books.
I havent really given it much thought. That said, this is an very interesting list.
Those are some interesting list of book suggestions. I’d love to read some of them if I have the time.
They all sound like very thought provoking titles. I am always interested to hear different takes on the after life, so I’ll be sure to jot these down for a little fall reading.
Thanks for the suggestions. We’re a little busier than usual right now, but I still enjoy having ideas for something to read later when things slow back down.
These all sound really interesting. I think my husband would love to read a few of them!
I find these types of books/movies/shows so fascinating. It”s the one subject I think everyone is curious about!
Proof of Heaven was a really good book. I must check out the others
Proof of Heaven has been on my reading list for a while. I need to sit down and just finally read it.
Death and the afterlife have always intrigued me. I would love to read a few of these titles.
These books have always entertained me. I love reading about some of these situations.
Wow those books are huge. Not sure what to think about them.
I had no idea there were so many books about the afterlife. I do definitely believe in Heaven, and agree with you that we may not know 100% about what it will be like until we die.
These books sound interesting. I’m always curious about the afterlife. The stories are always intriguing to read.
I’d love to read all of these. I’ve always felt like there was something out there after we die, but I don’t really know. None of us do. These books always make for fascinating reads.
These sound like interesting reads. As much as any of us believe in anything, none of us really know.
These types of books are not my usual reading style. There are several that has my interest. Will be checking them out
Fascinating, all! I’ve read Dr. Alexander’s book. Absolutely riveting!
I think these books sound interesting. I am all about learning what is possible.
These look like some interesting reads on the afterlife. I believe that we all go where we think we should go. If you want to reincarnate, you’ll do that. Believe in heaven? You’ll go to a happy place. Want to haunt your house? You can totally do that, too. I have a very strange view on religion, lol. I’m my own religion of one! 😀
Very cool!
I definitely believe in an afterlife and I’ve read several books on the subject. I see several on your list that I would love to read. Thanks!
