Books with author Alexander Green

The #1 New York Times bestselling account of a neurosurgeon's own near-death experience—for readers of 7 Lessons from Heaven. Thousands of people have had near-death experiences, but scientists have argued that they are impossible. Dr. Eben Alexander was one of those scientists. A highly trained neurosurgeon, Alexander knew that NDEs feel real, but are simply fantasies produced by brains under extreme stress.Then, Dr. Alexander’s own brain was attacked by a rare illness. The part of the brain that controls thought and emotion—and in essence makes us human—shut down completely. For seven days he lay in a coma. Then, as his doctors considered stopping treatment, Alexander’s eyes popped open. He had come back. Alexander’s recovery is a medical miracle. But the real miracle of his story lies elsewhere. While his body lay in coma, Alexander journeyed beyond this world and encountered an angelic being who guided him into the deepest realms of super-physical existence. There he met, and spoke with, the Divine source of the universe itself. Alexander’s story is not a fantasy. Before he underwent his journey, he could not reconcile his knowledge of neuroscience with any belief in heaven, God, or the soul. Today Alexander is a doctor who believes that true health can be achieved only when we realize that God and the soul are real and that death is not the end of personal existence but only a transition. This story would be remarkable no matter who it happened to. That it happened to Dr. Alexander makes it revolutionary. No scientist or person of faith will be able to ignore it. Reading it will change your life.

Malraux and the Midnight Organ Fight is a fast-paced, frenetic YA thriller that falls somewhere between Sherlock Holmes, "Rick & Morty" and the first Frightened Rabbit album.

After a nasty spat between the boys breaks up their world famous Bohemia Solutions detective agency, Weston accepts a full-ride tennis scholarship to Harvard and leaves behind the idiosyncratic Malraux, who was always the true genius behind the duo's success. While Weston labors at Harvard, he loses touch completely with Malraux, who not only refuses to respond to his imploring letters, but his anti-technology policy—no phones, no computers—makes him virtually unreachable. Rumored by his online fans to have been spotted in France, Spain, Iceland, Tanzania and at Coachella, Bohemia Solutions' Instagram feed (@bohemiasolutions) is continually jammed with purported Malraux sightings: (#malrauxkickingitinparis, #malrauxinmadrid) and opinions about the future of the agency (#whoneedsweston). But when Weston returns from college to find that the owner of his favorite café' has been murdered he also finds that the carnage is only just beginning. Soon the news reports a killer on the loose and a rising body count; even grimmer is the bodies are found minus several of their vital organs. Wanting to solve the crime, Weston tracks down the mercurial Malraux in hopes of convincing him to reopen the agency for the summer and solve the murders that are plaguing their city. The two teens agree to put their differences aside and set to solving this disturbing mystery before the police beat them to it. …and before Weston heads back to college. Malraux's unconventional sleuthing leads the reunited duo into darker and stranger places than they've ever been before.
