Where God Lives: The Science of the Paranormal and How Our Brains Are Linked to the Universe

Melvin Morse, M.D., with Paul Perry

Every so often we discover a little gem of a book that is so good, so sweet, and so universal that we take great pleasure in recommending it to everyone. Where God Lives is the perfect example of a perfect little book.

The author, Melvin Morse, M.D. is a pediatrician who practices in Seattle. Early in his medical career he encountered a case of a child who recovered after a Near Death Experience (NDE.) This led him to seek out and treat numerous children who had NDE's. This book relates his experiences with these unique patients, and what they taught him about life, consciousness, the brain, and spirituality.

Whether you consider yourself a "spiritual person," or a scientific materialist, the data and conclusions in this book will be well worth considering. Morse's data and conclusion concerning the functioning of the right temporal lobe of the brain and how it can shape one's perceptions of reality and relationship to humanity and the universe are fascinating and enlightening.

I give this book my highest recommendation for all readers from all walks of life.
