The book is based on evidence of the post-mortem sensations of people who experienced clinical death. Currently, resuscitation has reached such heights that numerous data have begun to appear that beyond the threshold of death not only heaven, but also hell awaits us. Extensive materials on the attitude of the Church to the true purpose of the human soul will be invaluable. Indeed, for a believer, the evidence of the Holy Scriptures about the afterlife is much more important than the evidence of human reason. The book is of undoubted interest to a wide range of readers. Some materials are published in Russia for the first time.
