Visits to Heaven and Back: True Stories of Near-Death Experiences - Inspiring Book for Spiritual Seekers & Christian Readers

You have to admit heaven is a feel good subject. Especially as we get older we become more aware of our own mortality and in an increasingly secular world any glimpse of the afterlife is a subject which intrigues. Into this void of curiosity about heaven steps the increasingly popular genre of books about heavenly tourism.So what does the Bible really say about the subject?Are these books a new paradigm in religious revelation?Does this phenomenon have a basis in the Biblical record?Should these revelations be placed on an equal revelatory basis as the Bible?These important questions are answered in the new book by Mark Hitchcock entitled: Visits to Heaven and Back: Are They Real? In this book Mr. Hitchcock looks at several of the most popular books on the subject of heavenly tourism and compares these revelations to the Biblical record. With a straight forward approach lacking any animus Mr. Hitchcock makes his case for a sound Biblical interpretation.I especially appreciated the final chapters of the book where Mr. Hitchcock takes the reader on a Scriptural journey in search of the Biblical heaven. Through the words of prophets, apostles, and Jesus, Mr. Hitchcock paints a vivid picture of the believer’s future home and how anyone can rest assured they will someday, not just visit, but live there for eternity.This book was helpful and encouraging to me as a believer. I would recommend to anyone with an interest in the subject.
