MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Aug. 16 /Christian Newswire/ -- Can the amazing experiences of everyday people reveal insights into life "on the other side"? Trusted pastor and bestselling author James L. Garlow and experienced journalist Keith Wall believe they can.
Teaming up again for this story-filled follow-up to the popular "Heaven and the Afterlife", Garlow and Wall collected dozens of firsthand stories of near-death experiences, angelic encounters, and other startling occurrences that provide a captivating glimpse into the next life, as well as the invisible spiritual world that surrounds us each day.
Writing from a biblical perspective, the authors offer a message of comfort, hope, and inspiration -- and a gripping reminder that life is more than what we see in the here and now.
These Real-Life Stories Give Insight to Questions Such As:
• What happens when we die?
• What is heaven really like?
• When we arrive, will we know people?
• What role do angels play in our lives?
• Are demons real?
"Combine credible accounts with excellent storytelling...Although the authors include scriptural background and history, the most compelling part of the book is hearing the voices of those who share their testimonies. One story mentions a child revived after falling to the bottom of a swimming pool, and he suffered no brain damage. Another tells of a man who explained how he died and came back to life, which eased the pain of a family member who had blamed himself for his brother's death. Readers who are open to reading about near-death experiences or encounters with angels will appreciate this addition to the topic. Skeptics may even be won over by these believable accounts." -- Christian Retailing
