My Decscent Into Death

Howard Storm was born in Newton, Massachusetts, and earned his graduate degree from the University of California Berkeley. He later became an art professor at Northern Kentucky University, a position he held for 20 years. During that time, prior to his near-death experience, Professor Storm described himself as a confirmed atheist. In June 1985, Storm took a group of his students on a field trip to Paris, where he suffered a sudden onset of severe abdominal pain from a duodenal perforation. While awaiting surgery at a Paris hospital, Storm passed out and began a profound NDE involving elements of both heaven and hell that radically changed his life. As a result of that NDE, Howard became involved with a church, entered the seminary, and was ordained. He served as pastor of Zion United Church of Christ in Norwood, Ohio from 1992 to 2005, and serves as a pastor to this day. Rev. Storm is also an artist and the author of several books, including My Descent into Death, and his latest, Befriend God: Life with Jesus.
