The Story
Doug Kanaki had a near-death experience in 2006 due to meningitis. During his NDE, he felt himself in a dark place, saw frightening creatures, and then encountered God, who told him not to be afraid. God showed Doug the beauty of heaven and the impact of his choices through a pond and ripples. Doug was told he had a purpose to fulfill on earth and was sent back. When he revived, he had lost 30 years of memory and did not recognize his wife or his life as a successful home builder. After the experience, Doug gained a new perspective on life and a desire to understand his purpose, focusing on love and kindness in his relationships.
