George Ritchie Describes His Encounter With Jesus
At the age of twenty, George Ritchie died in an army hospital and was pronounced dead twice by the doctor on duty. Nine minutes later he returned to life. Dr. Ritchie wrote of his near-death experience (NDE) in Return from Tomorrow, co-written with Elizabeth Sherrill, in 1978. In Return from Tomorrow, he tells of his out-of-body experience, his meeting with Jesus Christ, and his travel with Christ through different dimensions of time and space. Return from Tomorrow has been translated into nine languages. Ritchie’s story was the first contact Dr. Raymond Moody, PhD had with NDEs, during his undergraduate studies in philosophy at the University of Virginia. This led Moody to investigate over 150 cases of NDEs in his book Life After Life and two other books that followed. Moody’s first book, Life After Life, was dedicated to Ritchie: “To George Ritchie, M.D. and, through him, to the One whom he suggested.” In 2019, Raymond Moody also described Ritchie as “the finest human being I have ever known.”

Excerpt:
"[Jesus taught me] three things that changed my life and I think were the major reasons He told me I had to come back:
"1. Can you imagine being in the room with somebody who knows every single minute detail of your life and totally accepts you and totally loves you? We have a God of love who always [wants the best for us].
"2. There are many different realms in life after death, not just two [heaven or hell]. The type of life we live here determines where we are going when we leave here. God doesn't send us to heaven or hell or purgatory or anything else. But you don't leave kindergarten here and go to the university. You've got to go through grade school, intermediate school, high school, and the type of grades you make determine which university you are going to . . . You go to whatever realm you are best suited to go to.
"3. Life really is forever. We don't die. Death is nothing more than a gateway through which we go."

This description of Jesus appears in George Ritchie's book, My Life After Dying:
"I was standing in front of this majestic Being, of whom I had been told: 'Stand up. You are in the presence of the Son of God.' I had never seen such a being. He was powerfully built even in His spiritual transfigured body, which radiated a brilliant white light. I thought, 'No wonder He could walk through a mob and no one would attack Him, if His physical body was anything like His magnificent spiritual body.' In fact, He did not look like any of the paintings I had seen of Him in the stained glass windows of the churches where I had been. This was no sweet, gentle Jesus, meek, weak, or mild. Here stood a robust male who radiated strength.
"Due to the brilliant light emitting from this Being it was difficult to make out the color of His hair or eyes but I sensed, more than saw, that He had blue eyes with chestnut-brown hair parted in the middle. He was slightly taller than I, which would place His height at over six feet, two inches. Though He was dressed in a magnificent white robe, his powerful muscular frame shone through. He was ageless and yet appeared about 35 years of age.
"All of the above description is not sufficient to describe the most outstanding thing about Him. Here stood a Being that knew everything I had ever done in my life, for the panorama of my life surrounded us, and yet He totally accepted and loved me. I have never felt such love or compassion. Before He entered the room, I was desperately alone and frightened and could only think about how I could return to my body so I might be able to continue my life on Earth. After being in His presence and feeling His love, I never wanted to leave Him again for any reason. Nothing I had, no one I had ever known on Earth, could make me want to leave Someone who loved and accepted me like this One."
