Dannion Brinkley was a bully, big deal macho man with no time for religious nonsense. Then he got struck by lightning in 1975 while using a telephone. He was clinically dead for 28 minutes, and what he experienced on the other side changed his life. Since then, he has had many more near-death experiences and has become a hospice volunteer. His experiences taught him about the future of humanity, the meaning of life, and that we never die. Dannion wrote a bestselling book, “Saved By The Light,” about his story. It was made into a film of the same name in 1975.
