Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one goes to the Father except by me.” John 14:6
But
do we really know the way to Heaven and to the Father? Everyone wants
to get to Heaven it seems; but not just yet. Maybe they are not ready to
meet God. Or perhaps they don’t know where Heaven is; what it looks
like; and what they will do when they get there … for eternity.
We all have different visions of Heaven. Is it a mansion as Jesus described, or a spiritual state of being? Will we really have our bodies back all perfect and without any illness or disabilities? Why, what would we need our bodies at all? And will this body be at the age we died or a younger more youthful one?
What will we do in Heaven for eternity; apart from praising God and thanking Him for what He has done for us?
Are there animals in Heaven? Will we see our pets again? Personally, I would hate to come face to face with the Sunday roast admonishing me for what I had done to it. Or that wasp I killed the other day.
So many questions cross our minds about Heaven and how to get there.
This book does not claim to have all the answers. Nobody can, because no one has returned from Heaven and told us what it’s like. No one has returned from hell either; but Jesus was very descriptive about the eternal fire that burns there.
This
thoughtful book contains a series of questions and topics which may
well have crossed our minds at one time or other but we never felt
confident enough to ask for an answer or an explanation. Questions like
who will ultimately enter Heaven? Will we? Will all our loved ones and
people we care for be there? What if someone we love is missing? What
would we do then?
Is God merciful and just? How does He balance
both qualities and how does this affect us? Would He really send someone
to hell for ever?
Consider and meditate on what Jesus said about
loving one’s neighbours and enemies, about anger and revenge, about
judging others, working on Sundays, fasting, about our faith and prayers
and many others topics He taught about in the Bible.
These and
many other issues are discussed and answered in easy to read style for
you to ponder about, and to encourage you to explore your conscience and
what you truly believe.
We hope you’ll enjoy this selection of devotionals to help you meditate on your Christian faith.

...everyone wants to get to Heaven, but few want to die.
ReplyDeleteYes ... but is everyone SURE they will get to Heaven?
DeleteThat question is addressed in this book.
God bless, Tom.
There are people who say they have been to Heaven or Hell and came back. Hard to say who to believe.
ReplyDeletePsst...Jesus didn't say anything about working on Sundays. I wish you had said working on the Sabbath. 😄 We've had this discussion before. Sorry to belabor the point!
Both of your points are well made, Sandi. No one has really proved they went to Heaven or hell and came back to tell us what it's like there. And you are right about the Sabbath. I am writing to a modern audience who might be more familiar with Sunday as (their) day of rest.
DeleteGod bless you.
I'll have to order it, Victor. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Martha. Please let me know what you think of it. I appreciate your constant support and encouragement. God bless you my friend.
DeleteI only know that when I had a near death experience I was taken to a most beautiful place, the colours of which I have never seen anywhere on earth. I had been married for ten years and loved my husband very much, but when I was told 'It's not time yet, you must go back' I said I don't want to go back. Then I was told 'You must go back' and came back spinning through a tunnel. I cried for a week. God bless.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your experience, Brenda. It will prove comforting for our readers. God bless always.
DeleteI am glad I don't have to judge people to go to Heaven or Hell. But I do plan on going to Heaven.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Jesus told us not to judge each other. God bless, Sandie.
DeleteSounds like a winner, Victor!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it, Bill. God bless you.
DeleteLove and kindness always. ❤️
ReplyDeleteGod bless, CM.
Deletethecontemplativecat here. Sound like a very good book. All those questions!
ReplyDeleteI hope you find some of the answers helpful, Susan. God bless you.
DeleteI just added it to my Amazon cart -- both to read then share with my Bible study ladies. Now I'm curious -- are you doing the Audible (version) narration yourself?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for buying this book and your faithful continued support, Mevely. I much appreciate it. Please let me know what you think of the book.
DeleteNo, I am not doing the audible narration. AMAZON provides a sample of AI voices, (male/female, different ages and different accents), and I choose one that is most suitable to the text in the book. I chose an American male voice. AMAZON then makes the audible version available (FREE) to its members of "Audible" books; and also to ALEXA. I don't know how people access ALEXA. Do they just ask for the book by title? Author? ISBN?
I don't have ALEXA. Listening to my wife all day is enough for me!
God bless you, Mevely; and thanx again my friend.
It sounds excellent.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mimi. God bless.
Delete... and your book also has a very nice cover.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thank you, Jan. This time; please do judge a book by its cover!
DeleteGod bless you always.
