The Story
Baba Herrick was a 19-year-old baseball player who experienced a near-death experience (NDE) during a failed elbow surgery that caused his heart to stop. During the NDE, he left his body and watched himself die on the operating table. He then went through a life review, experiencing moments from his life from multiple perspectives, which filled him with regret. After calling out for God, he found himself in a bright, loving place where he played basketball with his deceased stepfather. His stepfather offered him a second chance at life, which he accepted. After the NDE, Baba felt a new sense of purpose and chose to pursue writing instead of baseball, feeling more sensitive to energy and focused on love and relationships.
