Death, Then What?: The Promise of Home! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781098014872)

Home The word stirs our heart. At the end of our day, we long to get home to put our feet up, enjoy the family, have dinner, or just relax. Following a trip, our foot gets just a bit heavier and our heart beats a bit faster, longing for that reunion with those we love.

Our spiritual lives include the same longing. We know that from the moment of our births, our days here are numbered. We increasingly long for and anticipate the world beyond this world that awaits us.

Even while we wait for it, our minds are filled with questions. What comes next? How does it happen? What will life be like there?

As a child, I remember thinking, Will there be baseball (and softball) in heaven? I was not convinced that heaven without ball would be great. I've heard the same kind of question from my son Josiah. The only change is that his question centered around football. While I'm not sure I can answer the baseball/football question, I was inspired by another truth from my son's lips. Eating fried chicken one day, he said, "Dad, if your fried chicken is this good, imagine how good fried chicken will be in heaven It makes me hungry just thinking about home "

This book will seek to answer your questions about what comes next. There are mysteries that will remain even after our best efforts to understand. One thing I can answer here is that there will be a great wedding feast. On that table, I'm believing God for fried chicken. And it will be good. I'm ready for a piece of that chicken
