The Story
Bill Dolan, a television director and producer, had his near-death experience on January 28, 1999, while flying from Portland to Nashville. His heart stopped due to malignant neurocardiogenic syncope, and his friend performed chest compressions until he revived. During the NDE, Bill crossed into eternity and entered the presence of God. He experienced overwhelming, boundless love that consumed him spiritually, without words, visuals, or body sensation. Time felt eternal as he absorbed God's essence. On return, he passed through a tunnel where life scenes appeared as puzzle pieces blowing toward him. After the event, doctors implanted a pacemaker. Bill changed his view of God from a judgmental figure to one madly in love with him. He developed the Seven Disciplines from Jesus' teachings to guide business and purpose in his Spirit Media company. He became a better husband and father, spending more time with family, and shares his story to convey God's love.
