The Story
Howard Storm was a 38-year-old college professor who experienced a near-death experience (NDE) on June 1, 1985, after dying in a hospital in Paris, France. During his NDE, he left his body and felt a sense of happiness and heightened senses. He encountered dark figures that tormented him until he prayed to God, which caused them to retreat. He then saw a brilliant light and met Jesus, who healed him and took him to heaven. They reviewed his life together, discussing his actions and their impact on others. After the experience, Howard felt compelled to change his life. He left his academic career to become an ordained pastor, emphasizing love and forgiveness in his new life.
