In this episode of The Catholic Bookworm, Scott L. Smith on his book Near-Death Experiences (February 25, 2025) Near-death experiences (NDEs) are endlessly fascinating for those who long for Heaven or are just curious about the things we cannot see (yet). Lost in all the discussion of NDEs, however, is their long, rich history. Saints and mystics have been visiting Heaven for thousands of years, and here, for the first time, Scott L. Smith provides you with a glimpse of what they’ve been seeing these past two millennia. In these heart-pounding pages, you will first learn about the ancient origin of NDEs and seven characteristics that describe them. Then, through studies of present-day cardiac and comatose patients, you will see what modern medical research says about NDEs. (You will be surprised!) You will see remarkable similarities between the NDE stories of biblical figures, such as Jonah, St. Paul, and St. John the Evangelist, and those of more modern individuals, such as Thérèse of Lisieux, Faustina Kowalska, and Padre Pio. Smith shares an array of God’s merciful messages from the great beyond through people’s visits to Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, documenting current-day stories, including:

The NDEs of Fr. Cedric Pesigna, including one while watching a Boston Red Sox game 

Author Kevin Wells’s story of Heaven’s victory over his certain death and spiritual oppression 

Sondra Abrahams’s NDE, which drove home the importance of reforming our lives and praying for the dead — even if we think they are without hope or definitely in Heaven 

The NDE of Fr. Stephen Scheier, who glimpsed Hell because of the casual way he treated the sacrament of Confession — and his transformative encounter with Our Lady

 You will learn of how St. Teresa of Ávila returned to life after being dead for four days and the details of her stunning visits to Heaven and Hell. You will also be treated to the NDE account of Pope St. Gregory the Great and the incredible NDE of one of St. Padre Pio’s priestly spiritual sons, while in battle, and how Padre Pio accompanied him.  Smith reveals why some souls remain in Purgatory for decades — and how others choose Hell. But throughout, you will be consoled by stories of God’s limitless mercy, which never ceases calling us to repentance and inviting us to share in the glories of His heavenly kingdom.

7 Celebrities Who Disappeared and We Still Don’t Know Where They Are

Can you imagine how hard it is to pull off a good act of vanishing? VERY hard. Just ask Steven Leung, who tried to make it look like he’d died during 9/11. Spoiler, that didn’t work. And now can you imagine someone like Beyonce just disappearing into thin air? That seems impossible. Yet, sometimes it happens.

Scott Smith

Scott Smith was a founding member of the band Loverboy but on November 30, 2000, he mysteriously disappeared at sea.

Smith, his girlfriend, and their two friends went sailing after Loverboy’s concert in Vancouver, B.C. When they were nearing San Francisco, the weather got stormy with gigantic waves. One of them knocked Smith of the vessel and into the water.

“We turned back around but couldn’t find any of the debris or cushions or the man-overboard pole,” said his friend Bill Ellis. Coast Guards and private searches couldn’t find him. His body was never found.

Rico Harris

In 2000, Rico Harris played basketball for a very famous team the Harlem Globetrotters but because of his drinking addiction he couldn’t pursue this career and went on to work as a security guard. In 2014, he was fired from there for drunkenness. When he left his mom’s house in LA and went to Seattle and stay with his girlfriend, he vanished somewhere along State Route 16 near Sacramento.

His backpack and phone were found on the roadside, but he was nowhere to be seen. Days after his disappearance people were reporting sightings of a giant person walking alongside State Route 16. Human footprints were found in the sand but not Harris.

Fan Bingbing

Fan Bingbing is a Chinese A-list celebrity, one of the few Chinese actresses to make it to the international market. But in 2018 her movie contracts leaked onto social media and it turned out that she’d been using fake contacts to avoid paying taxes. And on July 1, she disappeared.

People think that the authorities reeducating her this way and also show other stars the consequences they could be facing. Later in October, she released an apology on her social media and the Chinese authorities stated that she would be paying a fine. Nevertheless, she still has not been seen in public.

Bison Dele

Bison Dele whose real name is Brian Williams was a basketball player who was famously odd. When he quit basketball he was seen firing off bazookas into the desert in Lebanon, and then wandering through Asia, living as some sort of rich hobo.

In 2002, when he was in Australia, he learned to sail, bought himself a boat named the Hakuna Matata and decided to sail from Tahiti to Hawaii. He, his girlfriend, Serena Karlan, the ship’s captain, Bertran Saldo, and Dele’s older brother, Miles Dabord were on board but they never made it to Hawaii. Everyone but Dabord vanished at sea.

Dabord was arrested in Phoenix two months later trying to buy gold with his brother’s money. When he was released on bail, he committed suicide via insulin overdose. Supposedly he was prone to violence and envied his brother’s success.

If you or anyone you know is having suicidal thoughts, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

Oscar Zeta Acosta

Chicano activist Oscar Zeta Acosta relentlessly consumed pills, hallucinogens, and drunk alcohol in huge quantities. In May 1974, he went to his family home in Mexico and just vanished. His friend Hunter S. Thompson spent years searching for him and later claimed that he was probably killed in a drug hit or a political assassination. However, Acosta’s body was never found.

Richey Edwards

A rhythm guitarist and lyricist of Manic Street Preachers Richey Edwards was a mid-1990s British rock idol whom The Guardian called “a lightning rod of sorts for adolescent angst.” He was handsome, moody, and has a talent for writing lyrics about depression.

In February 1995 he disappeared from his hotel room and his car was found abandoned near the Severn Bridge. In 2008 he was legally declared dead but his body was never found.

Jim Sullivan

In March 1975, Jim Sullivan was heading to Nashville but he never made it there. His car was found abandoned in the desert outside Santa Rosa, New Mexico and his clothes, wallet, and guitar were all found in a nearby motel. One of his friends said that if Sullivan was planning to vanish, he would’ve never left his guitar behind.

The Ruins by Scott Smith #22 of 2022 4 stars . A little horror number just in time for the halloweens. The Ruins is unsettling in the best way. Smith adds layer after layer to the story, building momentum and creating something truly disturbing. The lack of adherence to some key horror genre conventions allow Smith to craft a unique novel which reads beautifully and leaves an impression on the reader, like something sitting just under your skin, slowly moving. #theruins #scottsmith #minimonotonebookclub #booksivereadin2022 #booksivedrawnin2022 #booksreillustrated #bookstagram #houlart #houl https://www.instagram.com/p/CkXoaTlBuQF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sunday Morning Listening (SML) 67 Another self titled album that I listened so often in my twenties. Loverboy. Especially track number two, “Turn Me Loose.“ Not exactly my kinda lyrics but the concept of being subjugated by someone other than myself so resonated my situation at that time. Love the song still. Mike’s screaming voice represented my frustration so well. Way to Rock n Roll. #vinyl #loverboy #turnmeloose #mikereno #pauldean #sundaymorninglistening #mattfrenette #1980 #elektra #ᄋ���ᆯ아음 #dougjohnson #lp #record #scottsmith #analog #레코드 #음악감상 #denondp55l #러버보이 #데논55l #턴미루즈 #レコード #레코드판 #아날로그 #日曜日朝の音楽感想 #デノン55l #일요일아침음악감상 #일아음 #アナログ #ラバーボーイ https://www.instagram.com/p/CExVlCdj6o8/?igshid=1azczhspgve73
