The Rev Peter Panagore drops in with James to discuss his Near Death Experience as documented in his book Heaven is Beautiful and the lasting affect it's had on his life.
In March 1980, Peter went ice climbing on the world-famous Lower Weeping Wall, along the Ice Fields Parkway in Banff National Park in Alberta. His climbing partner was an experienced ice climber, but Peter was a novice. On their descent, they became trapped on the side of the mountain. As the sun set, he was overcome by exhaustion and hypothermia and died on the side of that mountain. In his minutes on the other side, he experienced hell, forgiveness, and unconditional love. Heaven was beautiful.
