    Imagine Heaven
    • It's obvious from the bookshelves and the big screen that heaven is on everyone's mind. All of us long to know what life after death will be like. Bestselling author John Burke is no exception. For decades, he has been studying accounts of people who have had near-death experiences (NDEs). While not every detail of individual NDEs correlate with Scripture, Burke shows how the common experiences shared by thousands of survivors clearly point to the God of the Bible and the exhilarating picture of heaven he promises. Imagine Heaven is an inspirational journey through the Bible's picture of heaven, colored in with the real-life stories of heaven's wonders. Burke compares gripping stories of NDEs to what Scripture says about our biggest questions of heaven: Will I be myself? Will I see friends and loved ones? What will it look like? What is God like? What will we do forever? What about children and pets? This book will propel readers into an experience that will forever change their view of the life to come and the way they live life today. It also tackles the tough questions of heavenly reward and hellish NDEs. Anyone interested in NDEs or longing to imagine heaven more clearly will enjoy this fascinating and hope-filled book.

      How do we embody the message of Jesus in our rapidly evolving culture? The church is at a pivotal moment, facing both significant challenges and opportunities in a postmodern, post-Christian world. God is attracting many spiritually curious 'imperfect people' to become part of His church—are we effectively welcoming them? This book explores how to dismantle the five key barriers that separate emerging generations from the church by fostering the right culture. It includes inspiring stories of individuals who were once distant from God and offers practical strategies applicable to any local church, presenting a revitalizing vision of the Body of Christ's potential to transform lives today. In this post-Christian America, a missionary mindset is essential for rethinking ministry. What sets this book apart is its focus on real-life narratives of individuals transitioning to followers of Jesus, rather than relying solely on statistics. Readers will find optimism for the next generation of pastors and faith communities, making this a crucial resource for church leaders navigating a post-Christian landscape. The insights provided are rich with nutrients to strengthen the Body of Christ.
