Rob A Gentile

After I had a massive heart attack and a near-death experience, my wife said I was like an exuberant child, wanting to tell everyone about my encounter with her brother “Frosty,” and what I saw on the other side. The euphoria didn’t last, however, and I was faced with a dying heart and grim prospects for survival. It would have been a lot easier to stay in that place of love and light, but now I had to figure out how to return to the temporal world—and actively fight for my life. After a long struggle, my atrophied body gave out again, and I entered the Ethereal a second time. This time I received even more truths. Immediately after that, I was transplanted with the perfect donor heart. After having these experiences, I had a strong feeling that I needed to share what I had seen with the hope of helping others, but still had many questions. I didn’t know how I could possibly put the unexplainable into words, or how to find the energy as my body healed. I had to return to a demanding job and caring for my special needs daughter Maria, but the desire to tell my story never left me. I got up early each morning to write before the day began, and after three years; this book is the result. It is my best attempt to share what I learned, including how to stay in spirit through the physical demands of everyday life.

Book

Quarks of Light

During his medical transformation, Gentile had not one, but two, near-death experiences that lead him to have a deeper understanding of the cosmically unified nature of God and reality. He writes with honesty about his fears and doubts and shortcomings, yet he also brutally and beautifully writes with conviction about his love and gratitude for others and life. His sincerity is what makes, what could be an unbelievable account, an accessible and universal one.

Quarks of Light

“I’ve just finished Quarks of Light. If the emotional ups and many downhill / dark moments don’t bring you to tears you are not human. God has blessed this man for a reason and gave him a job to do. Testify! Life has a purpose, love others, share it often.”

- Steven Ethridge, North Carolina

“My emotions started bubbling up during the first few paragraphs. By the end, I had mascara running down my face, and couldn’t breathe out for fear a flood would tidal out my nose! I was left with a feeling of EVERYTHING. Joy, sadness, euphoria, loss, excitement… thoughts of beginnings, endings, and the state of our species. And myself. This is a stunning book. I LOVE Quarks of Light.”
