From the Back Cover

The True Story of an Uncharted Journey Through the Afterlife

As a world war raged around him, a young soldier named George Ritchie barely comprehended his own death as he left the physical world--only to return minutes later. Yet in the space between death and coming back to life, he experienced eternity.

In this riveting true story, Dr. George Ritchie shares some of the most stunning and detailed descriptions of life after death. You'll encounter other non-physical beings, travel through different dimensions of time and space, and discover a series of worlds--some hellish in their separation from life, some glorious in their heavenly brilliance. But most amazingly, you'll witness his transformational meeting with the Light of the world, the Son of God.

Hailed as one of the most amazing visions of the afterlife ever recorded, Ritchie's experience forever changed the course of his life and his understanding of the realm beyond our own--and it can do the same for you.

Fascinating book!
5 Stars
Fascinating book!
I read Return From Tomorrow by Dr. George G. Ritchie with Elizabeth Sherill in a single sitting. The book is short, but fascinating. Some of Dr. Ritchie’s experiences correlate to other return-to-life accounts I’ve read, but his happened earlier (in the 1940s). As powerful as Dr. Ritchie’s visions were, my main takeaway from them all was the immense, undeniable love of Jesus Christ. Reading his testimony greatly encouraged me.I also absorbed Dr. Ritchie’s wise words as he related his post-experience mistakes and the lessons learned: the necessity of loving others well and following one’s call in life. There are many books on those topics, but Dr. Ritchie’s message felt personal and resonated with me.I absolutely loved Return From Tomorrow by Dr. George G. Ritchie with Elizabeth Sherill and recommend this inspirational book to everyone, Christian or not. Five stars.Disclosure of Material Connection: I was provided a copy of this book by the author or publisher. All opinions in this review are my own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Out-of-Body Travel
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2009

This is another of the many stories we are now seeing relating near-death experiences. This book was published in 1978, but has been reprinted no doubt to take advantage of the current rise in interest in this type of experience. The writer describes his experience during 9 minutes of "death" in an army hospital.

Meeting Jesus
Ritchie tells the story of meeting Jesus during this time, and how that changed his life when he returned to his body and to a continuing life in this world. During his out-of-body time, he experienced himself flying across the United States, from the West Texas training base where he had become deathly ill, eastward over the country. He dropped down into a town to ask directions.

He could see people but they could not hear him, and could walk right through him. He saw signs and later on a cross-country trip with other army buddies, he found himself recognizing one city they were driving through.

Landing in Vicksburg
He followed familiar landmarks and found himself in the place where he had stopped to ask directions in a café. He discovered the actual place was Vicksburg, Mississippi, and the cafe and street exactly as he has experienced the place in his out-of-body travel. This was a challenging aspect of this experience, as many reported experiences lack such realism and objective confirmation.

This was the most intriguing of the books I have read about out-of-body or near-death experiences. This type of experience seems to be more a common experience than thought a few years ago. Paranormal experiences were not in focus until recently in modern western culture, which has been materialistic and skeptical of spiritual phenomena. This author provides a careful and reflective account of his experience. Some others make extensive or outlandish claims for new insights about the objective reality of the universe.

Refocus
In recent years more awareness has arisen of these near-death experiences, and growing attention has been given to them. Out-of-body experiences seem to be actually quite common, not associated only with near-death experiences. I myself have had such experiences, in my younger life.

This category of experience constitute a great, fascinating mystery. Interest has risen especially in the near-death experiences, which often involve out-of-body travel, often to some other dimension or "channel" to another dimension. Now that people have become more willing to share and audiences are more eager to hear such reports, it appears this type of thing happens more often than western culture has generally acknowledged.

Paranormal Science
In recent years even formerly materialistic science has given attention to this type of experience. Paranormal investigators and various scientists have gathered a catalogue of information and experiences and some scientific data on these experiences.

Findings in this field have contributed to concepts of Mind and Consciousness, reflections on religious concepts and concepts of energy, bio-electrical and bio-mechanical forces.

Dr Ritchie’s story was easy to read and engaging. I believe every word he wrote and believe there is as many different NDE’s as there are people to tell them, with many similarities too.

So believable; it rang true. Gripping and inspirational and surprising; very reassuring but also frightening. How one lives one's life on this earth determining one's destiny after death becomes a huge, impossible responsibility... what's the answer?
