Summary

I’m John Burke, and for this episode I stitched together five unforgettable near‑death stories—Ron, Debbie, Wayne, Suzanne and Fr Cedric. Each of us flat‑lined, left our bodies and were wrapped in a tsunami‑like love that words can’t hold. Ron felt safer than ever while a madman’s knife hung in the air; Debbie, rescued from a brutal abduction, was cradled like a baby by Jesus; Wayne merged with living light and filled to overflowing; Suzanne, a 12‑year‑old whose scarf snagged a ski‑lift, woke up on Jesus’ lap beneath a tree; and Cedric, crushed by guilt after an abortion, discovered a God “obsessed” with him. Their voices—and mine—cry the same refrain: nothing compares with the personal, joyful, rescuing love of Jesus!

Countless Near Death Experiences (NDEs) describe an overwhelming, indescribable, yet personal love that exceeds that of any relationship on earth – a love so powerful that it changes people forever. In this video, you’ll hear stories from people who clinically died, left their bodies, and encountered a love so immense that words could hardly describe it. Could this be a glimpse of God’s unimaginable love and personal concern for each of us? Is this God the same as the God described in the Bible? And could this be the Love you’ve always wanted?
