Is There More
$10.99Think you know everything there is to know about the life that lies beyond this one?
Think again.
Questions about life beyond death are always with us. In this classic volume, Leslie Weatherhead answers personal and important questions about heaven, hell, and the future God has in store for us.
“Eternal life is . . . a quality and not just a quantity; . . . a quality of communion with God that clearly begins now.
You know, people talk about the afterlife and they say, ‘He’s gone to be with God.’ But he has always been with
God, and the highest heaven doesn’t mean that God exists in any fuller measure. It can only mean that our power
of communion deepens. But one of the marvelous things about the Christian gospel is that the offer of eternal life is
here and now.” -from chapter 1Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Christian Art Of Dying
$40.99A renowned ethicist who himself faced death during a recent life-threatening illness, Allen Verhey in The Christian Art of Dying sets out to recapture dying from the medical world. Seeking to counter the medicalization of death that is so prevalent today, Verhey revisits the fifteenth-century Ars Moriendi, an illustrated spiritual self-help manual on “the art of dying.” Finding much wisdom in that little book but rejecting its Stoic and Platonic worldview, Verhey uncovers in the biblical accounts of Jesus’ death a truly helpful paradigm for dying well and faithfully.

Beyond The Horizon

In forty-nine years in the medical profession, he has seen the devastating effects of this fear on countless patients and their families. As a pastor, he has often helped people trying to cope with the prospect of imminent death through palliative care and hospice ministry. Many times, as he has shared the simple message presented in this book, he has seen fear and despair turn to joy. Chuck does not attempt to cover the emotional aspects of death, grief, and suffering in this book. But he explains clearly and simply the timeless truth that death is not the end of life – it is a step beyond our horizon. “Love is immortal; life is eternal; and death is merely a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight…” – Author Unknown

Undiscovered Country : Imagining The World To Come
$25.26Most contemporary Christians pull a blank when it comes to imagining a life with God after death. Although the Bible is largely silent on the issue, our world is completely riveted by the up-to-date visions of heaven and hell that stock bookstore shelves and are found everywhere on the Internet. But what are believers to think and to say about the “undiscovered country” that is the life to come- from the pulpit, at the hospital, or in our daily lives?
Peter Hawkins offers a fresh way to pose these questions, along with an imaginative framework for answering them. He challanges all of us, not just preachers, to think of Dante’s drama of the afterlife-heaven, hell and purgatory- as a true story describing the lives we are living now. To this end Hawkins uses the Divine Comedy to help us imagine what happens when we die as he works his way through Christian tradition, contemporary culture, a rich array of literature, and his own personal experience.

Light And Death
$19.99Begun in 1994, The Atlanta Study is the first comprehensive investigation of its kind into near-death experiences (NDEs). The study’s name hardly captures what lies behind it: life-and-death dramas played out in operating rooms and hospital beds–and simultaneous events unseen by medical personnel but reported with astonishing clarity and conviction by nearly 50 individuals who returned from death’s door. Now the founder of The Atlanta Study, Dr. Michael Sabom reveals their impact on the people who have experienced them. From both medical and personal perspectives, he shares the electrifying stories of men and women from all walks of life and religious persuasions. He explores the clinical effect of the NDE on survival and healing and discloses surprising findings. He questions some common conclusions about NDEs. And he scrutinizes near-death experiences in the light of what the Bible has to say about death and dying, the realities of light and darkness, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
