Written after the death of her son Charlie, Beyond Life is a fantasy/paranormal book by J. A. Diller. The book delves deeply into a number of serious issues that both families and young people must deal with in our society. Beyond Life was written primarily to inspire parents and to give them real hope that there is life after losing a child. Though the death of a child is the most heart-rending issue any parent can face, Diller shows us that we must not give up on life; we must live on. More than that, we live on with our loved ones beside us still. Beyond Life does not stop there however. Many other issues that affect young people are addressed and dealt with in ways that are both non-threatening and highly entertaining. These include: Depression Self-image Bias Bullying

"Very few of the titles, whether fiction or non, take a serious analytical look at the "Bible" as a biblical scholar or theologian would. This is where "God's Inferno" differs from the majority. It utilizes logical, rational, reasoning to analyze what that Bible actually says, not what most have been lead to believe. It seriously attacks the present Christian faith as their tenants and doctrines are based on a very faulty interpretation of what the Bible actually says. It maintains, and proves, the god of the Old Testament is not the 'Supreme God', but merely what the Jewish people of Israel pictured their god to be. Naturally, if he is not the Supreme God, then Jesus is not the Son of that Supreme God but may have been the son of that hateful, murderous, vengeful god of the Old Testament. From the founding of Christianity, it traces its impact through the first 1500-1600 years of the Catholic Church, the keepers of the faith during that time. It documents the Crusades, the Inquisitions and the Reformation as well as the many married priests, Popes who fathered children, and under aged leading fathers of the Church. Finally, it attempts to motivate the indifferent Christian to utilize his God given mind to seriously think about what they actually believe and to conduct their lives according to that belief."
