The Story
Howard Storm was an atheist art professor who suffered a perforated stomach, leading to clinical death in a hospital in 1985. During his NDE, he first entered a hellish realm where hostile beings attacked him and tried to make him a predator like them. He felt deep hopelessness and despair. In that moment, he recalled singing 'Jesus Loves Me' as a child and cried out for Jesus' help. Jesus appeared, rescued him, and took him to a heavenly realm. There, Howard spent extended time with Jesus, discussing his life and visiting sites from Jesus' earthly experiences. Jesus instructed him to return to Earth. After the NDE, Howard transformed completely. He embraced Christianity, entered seminary, and became a pastor. He now promotes Jesus' message of love, service, and hope, using his art to express his faith and sharing his story to inspire others.
