He also continued on with his journey (NDE)& saw something there so fearful that he'd turn white & would be visibly shaken whenever we asked him what else he saw. """

That's pretty scary. Some of the NDE books report on hellish experiences, and I don't think we should ignore these reports. If Jesus had to die to save us, there has to be something - some place - from which we need saving.

Did his experience have an effect on your own faith? Did he ever put into words what he had witnessed, and what the meaning - as he took it - was?
