A Peak Into Heaven

When I was fifteen, six friends and relatives abruptly passed away during an eight month time period.   Their sudden passing left me shaken, feeling like my world as I knew it had tilted, and wondering what it was like for my loved ones who had died.  My grief and questioning led me to a deeper faith in God through Jesus Christ.

 I have remained very curious about what we have in store for us when we leave this life, and what it is like for my friends and relatives who have left this world.  I have read the descriptions of Heaven in the Bible, but I am always ready for another glimpse of what I have awaiting me–and what those who have already left this earth are experiencing.  As time has gone on, and the older I get, the number of beloved relatives and friends who have moved to Heaven has increased.  So this book by Dale Black on the subject of Heaven really piqued my interest. 

 This book is a fascinating account of the author’s awful air plane accident, and his road back to living. Included in the story is his account of going to Heaven.  Although lots of jokes are made about “going toward the light”, and some very non-Christian accounts of Heavenly visits have been told, I felt his story rang true. Dale Black is a very inspiring Christian man, and he writes his adventure to Heaven very well. 

 I will always recommend the Bible as the first place to go for answers to life’s questions, including what the afterlife will be like.  However, I also enjoy “first hand” accounts of people in the here and now.  As long as the stories don’t contradict the Bible, I think hearing them can be very interesting.

 Read this and find out for yourself, I think this story is awesome!
