      Many of us may have wondered what happens when we die, and whether that is really the end of any chance of life again. Discover another reality where spirits, God and heaven exist though my almost lifetime of personal experiences with spirituality and mysticism. This memoir focuses mainly on my dreams and visions, with commentaries on how they may relate to current events or personal development. I am not religious, and although not always easy, I can explain without access to a bible, about topics such as God and spirits, in a way that is understandable for our modern times. While not a large book, what it lacks in page numbers this book makes up for in content. With wars still going on in the world, with the possibility of major escalation, now is the time to share my experiences and the possibilities with you.

      Heaven. Do you look forward to it? Or do you secretly worry that somehow life there might not be quite as good as life here? It was not this way for the early Church, and it need not be for us. If we understand the meaning of Jesus’ physical resurrection, the prospect of heaven is one of great joy, giving a supreme and confident hope that overcomes every trial. Rooted in Scripture, this lively and insightful book sensitively helps us discover this hope and the priceless inheritance that awaits us, transforming our mental and spiritual health, and forever changing the way we live our lives. Because when we grasp what God has in store for us – a new creation, a new body, a new purpose – just like those early followers of Jesus, we’ll be dying to get there!
