Brain-dead for 11 hours, Jim Woodford experienced painful judgment and striking beauties in Heaven. Look deeper and see God challenging us to trust that Heaven is beyond our wildest expectation by millions! Click over to the full Family Conquest. The “To Do” activity in the Wrapping It Up section asks families to pray for one or both of their parents and ask God to bless and guide them.
In this 3-part video, successful pilot Jim Woodford shares his life-after-death experience of visiting Heaven after an accidental overdose of his prescription medications. Jim had been suffering from an incurable illness.
Please note that the Catholic Church doesn’t have a formal teaching on Near Death Experiences (NDE). This video was selected to expand our imagination of what heaven could be like. Though such accounts are fascinating and inspiring, you cannot rely on them as being definitively true. Of the many NDE accounts, some have been found to be untrue or misperceived by the person who had the experience, since their story contradicted what we know is absolutely true from the Gospels and Church teaching.
