37 SECONDS

I enjoyed reading the book but a lot of attention was devoted to the authors rare illness. I understand that it was very pivotal to the reason she died for those 37 seconds but I was expecting more information about her experience while she was in an expired state. This is not a criticism is only due to my preconceived understanding of what the book was about. I am glad that she is pointing a spotlight on this condition which is seems is much needed. I did like the fact that she explained in detail her premonitions of the events that led up to the event and I am glad that she and her family are well and that is still now on this side of reality. God bless Stephanie and her husband for sharing their incredible journey.

After losing my 32 year old son a little over a year ago, this book confirms my belief that there is "life" after the death of our physical bodies. I will always miss him, but, it gives me great comfort to know he is in a wonderful place where there is no pain. I love you, Michael!

I seek out reading experiences like this to continue to remind myself why humanity exists in the first place....to love ourselves and each other as deeply as possible. It all boils down to love. There is nothing else.

I heard Stephanie's story on the coast to coast radio show and made me want to buy the book. As an atheist I now feel there just might be a light at the end of the tunnel, I don't have that sense of dread that we just fade to black. I now have some hope that there might be something else in the end.

This was one of the most amazing stories I have ever read about near death experiences. I've read so many I've lost count. But this.....this is life altering. Stephanie is a true believer. She believes in her faith and if she questions anything, she finds the answer by research. Her journey, from the first page, is real, heart wrenching, and calming all at the same time. She explains her feelings in words anyone can grasp. Her doctors are her real doctors, not fantasy doctors from her mind. They are speechless with what she saw and knew. I encourage anyone who is, even a little bit, afraid of death to read this book. It touched my soul. She is surrounded by love, because she radiates love from her very soul. 37 Seconds is one of the most fascinating books I have ever read.

My Dad did not believe in the after life. I stayed with him as he was dying of cancer & talked to him about what I believe the after life would be like & who would be there to greet him. He did not believe me & I prayed I was right when he passed.Your book has given me great relief that I was right & my Dad was there to greet my Mom when she passed a year later. Thank you for sharing!

As one of Stephanie's treating physicians, I could hardly wait to read her book. Once I started turning the pages, her words took me to a place that I have never been in all the years of my training. I read with amazement, as I hope you will too, how her thoughts and dreams became a reality on the day that she delivered her son. I read on with tears streaming down my face at times with the harsh realization that there is so much more to the practice of medicine and the care of patients than we ever realized. It took an experience like this one to open my mind, heart and hands to begin to listen to my patients on a much deeper level. You can gain a tremendous inspiration from her words as well, whether you are a spouse, parent, teacher, whether you have ever faced a medical challenge yourself or not. It will make you contemplate your life, your medical care, and what lies beyond the world of your daily routine...and you will never look at those things the same way again.

This is definitely not the book I thought it would be. I was hoping there would be much more talk of the afterlife, and what happens, what and who we see, when we die. Instead it was more of an autobiography of a boring life. Mentions over and over again Jewish religion, how rare amniotic fluid embolisms are, how supportive her husband is, etc. The whole time I was reading the book, I was waiting for the good part.

Brilliant - especially as it's a true story - so interesting - couldn't put it down! Would definitely recommend it

Lovely book! Good read

the story itself could be fascinating but the author comes across as self obsessed and dramatic - she is very irritating and unlikable. she will not allow her husband his own beliefs and the majority of the book is about how she breaks him down to succumb to her version of events

Such a beautifully written account and one which I couldn't put down. Thank you for sharing your story, it was so uplifting.

Loved this book, I couldn't put it down and it gives me some hope on an after life hearing her story, amazing. Thank you for sharing.
