At twenty-five years old, Susan Godman appeared to have everything—a successful career in finance, a marriage, and a future carefully built through determination and ambition. Then, in a single terrifying moment, everything changed.

An ectopic pregnancy ruptured. Her heart stopped. For seven minutes, she was dead.

What she experienced beyond death shattered everything she thought she knew about life, suffering, and the human soul. In a realm of indescribable peace and unconditional love, she was given a choice: remain in that divine presence… or return to Earth with a new purpose—to become a healer.

She chose to come back.

But returning was only the beginning.

In From Death to Doctor, Dr. Susan Godman shares the extraordinary true story of her near-death experiences, her spiritual awakening, and the difficult path that followed. As buried trauma and painful memories surfaced, she was forced to confront the deepest wounds of her past in order to step fully into the calling she had been given.

Through years of searching, healing, and transformation, Susan discovered a truth that became the foundation of her life and medical practice: beneath fear, pain, and brokenness, every human being is created from pure love—and healing is always possible.

Deeply moving, honest, and spiritually powerful, From Death to Doctor is more than a memoir. It is a story of survival, awakening, forgiveness, and purpose for anyone searching for meaning after trauma, loss, or profound life change.

For fans of Anita Moorjani, Eben Alexander, and near-death experience memoirs that explore the intersection of spirituality, healing, and transformation, this unforgettable journey offers hope that even the darkest experiences can lead to extraordinary light.
