"I saw and felt the most beautiful luminous blue. I was serene, tranquil, free, and could happily have stayed there forever." Jan Price was destined not to linger in paradise but to return to the physical world and the body she had left behind during a nearly fatal heart attack. This book is Jan's account of her near-death experience and the many precious lessons it taught her--most important, that death need never be feared, by anyone. She describes the beautiful spiritual country in which she found herself and her joyous encounters there. She reflects on why near-death experiences happen and why they've become so common. Jan's husband, bestselling inspirational author John Randolph Price, also contributes to the story, sharing his feelings and experiences during this tremendous crisis. Guilt and punishment, forgiveness and transformation, life and love, earth and eternity--Jan Price's remarkable story teaches us about all of them, joyfully and unforgettably.1
Not an Ordinary Kind of Day

A very fortunate woman am I. Each morning someone turns on the classical music station, brings two cups of hot black coffee to bed, then snuggles in close with me to sip the brew and watch through the bedroom window as the orangy-red sun majestically rises over the green hills. That someone is John, a writer of wonderful books and the man I’ve shared my life with for more than forty years. Neat way to start a day.
December 30, 1993, was no different. Laughing and talking in bed at six-thirty that morning, I couldn’t have imagined that in less than seven hours I would die. Death can be very educational. I know that I learned a lot about living by dying, and I would not trade that experience for anything. For anyone who has ever wondered, you do go somewhere when you die. If you didn’t, you couldn’t come back, and I did. Aren’t round-trip tickets lS€
