Colin Perry’s NDE Warning Colin Thomas Perry, PhD, the show's guest, is an Australian writer and lecturer in media studies who, at age 49, suffered a heart attack and entered an NDE in which he met Jesus and angels. It sparked in him an examination of death, life, eternity and the obligations of human existence. His book, Dying to be Alive, reports a warning rarely encountered in others' NDEs, and at the end of the interview, he shares prophesies of destructive waves to come.
