Lauren Green of Fox News Channel spoke with author and pastor John Burke of Texas; his new book reveals the near-death experiences of 70 people who all reported being in the presence of God.

Imagine all the love you've experienced in your entire life, from parents, spouses, friends, family — and then multiply it by a thousand. That's the kind of love experienced by people who've had near-death experiences. They report being in the presence of God. John Burke, the Texas-based bestselling author of 'Imagine Heaven' and now the follow-up book, 'Imagine the God of Heaven,' writes of the topic vividly.

Burke said he interviewed a Hindu man named Santosh, a manufacturing engineer who 'coded.' When his heart stopped, medical staff couldn't get his heart beating again. For three days, Santosh was on artificial life support. He later described being 'taken by this God of light that was personal, that he knew was protecting him and takes him to this place,' said Burke. In Revelation 21, the Apostle John described being taken in the spirit to heaven, up to a great high mountain.

Burke said, 'And this same city is what Santosh, this Hindu man who's never read the Bible, is describing. He said, this is where everyone was intended to be, that he just intuitively knew that. And he said it was gorgeous and these, these big — he called them mansions or buildings of other worldly building material. And he was a manufacturing engineer. So he would notice that.' 'He called them mansions or buildings of other worldly building material.

Are these people who have NDEs meant to help humanity find God? Only heaven knows for sure. For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.com/lifestyle.
