This book was not my idea. Strangely enough, the idea was brought to my attention by my deceased loved ones communicating with me through a medium. Being a dutiful son with extra time on my hands, courtesy of COVID, I undertook writing the book. Soon , the book became a calling---something I needed to do not for fame and fortune, but to let people know that evidence, such as that found in the book, suggests that our soul (our conscious self) survives our physical death; often visits living loved ones while manifested as an invisible spirit orb; leaves signs of their presence; resides in the amazing dimension we call Heaven, etc. Given that there is mounting evidence for there being an afterlife to which all souls are invited without judgment, we really should not fear our physical death, which appears to be a transitional rather than terminal event.

From Ashes to Afterlife: A Skeptic's Journey by R.J. Kaufman presents a captivating and thought-provoking non-fiction account that chronicles a series of life-altering experiences. Through a collection of personal anecdotes, Kaufman shares encounters with a spectral apparition, premonitions, shared nightmares, and compelling photographic evidence, all of which challenge his initial skepticism and lead him to embrace the existence of an afterlife. Notably, the author refrains from attributing these experiences to any extraordinary psychic abilities, offering a grounded perspective on his transformative journey. Moreover, the book delves into the potential societal implications of a widely accepted secular afterlife, exploring ongoing scientific studies aimed at establishing communication with spirits. By introducing the notion of an all-inclusive afterlife, Kaufman encourages readers to reflect on the profound impact such knowledge could have on our lives.
In From Ashes to Afterlife: A Skeptic's Journey R.J. Kaufman's writing exhibits a blend of both courage and panache, skillfully weaving together personal narratives and contemplations on the consequences of embracing a non-judgmental eternal existence. Putting one's visions of what a mainstream reader would call paranormal into the world as fact is not easy, and I applaud the author for sharing their stories. The book's well-crafted prose engages readers, guiding them through the author's skepticism, doubts, and eventual acceptance. Kaufman has done what my teenage daughter would call "keeping the receipts" as the inclusion of hyperlinks and photographs serves as bonafide evidence, making it challenging to dispute Kaufman's claims. These multimedia elements enhance the book's authenticity, lending credibility to the author's experiences. By skillfully combining personal storytelling with concrete evidence, Kaufman creates a persuasive narrative that enthralls readers and invites them to consider the possibility of an afterlife beyond traditional religious frameworks.
