Heaven Bound In The Dead Of Winter: As Angels Abound (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781439244739)

"Heaven Bound In The Dead Of Winter" - was originally inspired by a very persistent dream...night after night. This was a dream that didn't want to end. No matter how hard I tried to escape, it persisted. This left me with a couple of options. I could shake it off and try to forget it or attempt to understand its message. I have opted to stay in my dream for awhile. I would like to take you along. There seem to be so many perceptions of life after death "Heaven" if you will Who will be going and when will this occur? Where is this Utopia and what are the qualifications for this eternal reward? The curiosities and queries are virtually endless. While at the same time, there are many that simply mock the very thought of something so spiritual. Science and religion seldom make good partners. Angels abound throughout these pages. Without these Angels, so many would have lost their way. For some of us, these Angels may be the last voice that we hear - at least on this earthly mission, whatever that may be. We should always listen to our Angels - because Angels don't lie In the chapter - "An Empty Room Yet So Crowded"- you'll meet many folks trying to find their way. Hopefully, you will find these souls heart lifting - peaceful and inspiring. This effort is intended to heighten the reader's awareness and offer a window into the varied circumstances in which we all live and die. This diverse cast of characters are preparing for and anticipating God's final call. Some will linger in their doubts as they wait for that last train. Most will pray and wait. A few, through God's miraculous powers - will travel right before your eyes There will be much pain and sorrow - patience and stamina, love and prayers. Most of all, you'll witness undying love and faith. Along the way you'll feel the agony of some and likely say a prayer or two for many as they walk their weary road. Some, you'll find so kind - loving and friendly. Others - you will surely scorn. These souls - these characters that I create - quickly take on a 'character' of their own. They are now - real people - at least they are in this author's eyes. They will only speak and act in a manner they have chosen. I have no choice - some will fail - most will shine. These souls simply won't have it any other way Through the eyes and ears of a dying, or maybe dead, Will Douglas. The author's brisk, upbeat style begs that age old question. Are you Heaven bound? This story takes place in a strange and mysterious old house "Baker House". Its interior far more expansive than the exterior could possibly imply. All remaining members of the Baker family had mysteriously vanished many years ago, never to inhabit "Baker House" again. The Baker's "Final Will and Testament" states; "All the estate I own shall go to our Lord in Heaven." Do ghosts now inhabit this old place? Will Douglas seems to be in a dream that doesn't want to end. The cast of characters, hundreds of lost souls are trapped indefinitely in this supernatural structure. So many weary souls are present, all wondering; "Why am I imprisoned here, how long will I stay?" Are these souls traveling somewhere, maybe - Heaven Bound? Written in straight-forward and simple manner without a lot of religious driven verbiage, the author weaves a rather curious eye opener. You're strictly on your own with his light hearted, humorous and introspective views of that 'Great Beyond". "Will", our narrator and the main character describes just what he sees and has one helluva experience whilst looking for his Heaven. You just may find the messages from "Will" and his new friend "Bliss" truly inspirational, and all in a non-intrusive style and manner. Just maybe, you'll better understand the true meaning and value of this life on earth. "Heaven Bound..." is recommended for anybody regardless of their religious convictions. If you haven't prayed a whole lot lately, this read should be an extremely motivating experience.
