In 1985 Rev Howard Storm had a near-death experienced that forever changed his life and the way he viewed death, religion, and God. Prior to his near-death experience he was an avowed atheist who believed there was nothing beyond the material world and he was hostile to anyone who believed otherwise. He is the author of My Descent Into Death: A Second Chance at Life and is an artist who gets his creative inspiration from what he experienced in his near-death experience.
