Because Scripture describes different things happening to different people after death, I suspect that people do have different experiences, depending on how close to the Lord they were in this life. But though I have eagerly read the books and other accounts about life after (temporary, by-earthly-standards) death, I discard those that don’t coincide with what we might gather from Scripture. One thing that’s important to note is that people who really have such an experience tend to let it inform the rest of their lives. That is, they become more serene, patient, loving, and heaven-focused. I do not see this in Dr Alexander. I may not be altogether fair and of course I haven’t met the man, but his interviews creep me out. I have met truly holy people and there is a big, big difference.

I have met him several times. Have heard his story several times in person directly from his mouth..... and I totally agree with you.
