In this companion book to Heaven and Hell, David Pawson continues with the subject of the life to come, which despite being integral to the Christian faith is too often neglected. David considers the biblical teaching on the last things (death, judgment, heaven, and hell) and the challenges posed to the Christian in the modern world. In doing so, he asks penetrating questions such as: What does the Bible teach about resurrection? What happens immediately after death? Did Jesus really go to hell? The book also features interviews with two professionals whose work has brought them face to face with bereavement - a doctor and a funeral director. In response to David's searching questions, they offer candid first-hand accounts and insights about the challenges faced by the Christian in secular work environments and reveal ways in which their faith informs their view of mortality. They also share their observations about the effects of bereavement while revealing how their belief in the life to come provides solace. David also responds to a series of questions from other Christians about the afterlife. In doing so, he goes straight to the heart of the Christian faith, often covering subjects that are overlooked or ignored in churches. Some of his answers may surprise you! This book an invaluable resource for newcomers to the faith and more mature Christians alike.

The Puritan preacher Richard Sibbes (1577-1635) really knew how to awaken and invigorate faith, love and joy in Christ in the hearts of his hearers. Taking Paul's words in Philippians 1:23,24, Sibbes ably shows that we will only begin to desire Christ above all else when we sense how much he loves us sinners, how much he has suffered for our forgiveness, and how unfathomably kind and merciful he is and has been. We love him,because he first loved us(I John 4:19).

In this book, the author addresses a number of key (but widely neglected) topics: The Return of Christ to this Earth; the Punishment of Hell; The Reward of heaven. Ministers, preachers and believers throughout the world will find this a profoundly challenging and informative study of what the Bible actually teaches on these vital matters, and many will discover some surprising truths.

"Winter Santiaga hit time served. Still stunning, still pretty, still bold, still loves her father more than any man in the world, still got her hustle and high fashion flow. She's eager to pay back her enemies, rebuild her father's empire, reset his crown, and ultimately to snatch Midnight back into her life no matter which bitch had him while she was locked up. But Winter is not the only one with revenge on her mind. Simone, Winter's young business partner and friend, is locked and loaded and Winter is her target. Will she blow Winter's head off? Can Winter dodge the bullets? Or will at least one bullet blast Winter into another world? Either way Winter is fearless. Hell is the same as any hood and certainly the Brooklyn hood she grew up in. That's what Winter thinks."--Provided by publisher.

This innovative and informative new text bridges the fields of gerontology and thanatology.

No one is able to keep all of the laws of the Old Testament - all of the time, not even the holy men of the Old Testament - Moses, King David and others. Jesus himself said that even if you only look at a woman lustfully you have already committed adultery in your heart. Priests and those in leadership within the Church have often been guilty of misusing the laws of Moses by teaching and demanding strict, literal or even excessive conformity to the Old Testament Law. Such practice puts one under the law, and even places the law above the gospel. In his letter to the Galatians Paul teaches that to be a Christian you do not need to be circumcised and that an over emphasis on keeping the laws, including keeping the Sabbath results in legalism and ultimately brings God's Wrath. The opposite of legalism is license - doing whatever you want whenever you want and that you are only responsible to yourself rather than a higher authority. This also brings God's wrath. In this book David Pawson explains how through Christ's death and resurrection, we have been released from the legalism of the Old Testament Laws (which no one is able to keep all of the time), not to do the opposite which will result in sin by doing whatever we please, whenever we want, but through Christ we have been given true liberty ...the liberty to choose not to sin, by walking in the Spirit.

"In the beginning..." This phrase is often wrongly read as "Once upon a time", as in the opening of a pleasant story or fairy tale, but David Pawson views it as a radical statement indicating that "our universe has not been around forever". Yet despite this, "most people in our world, and most men in history, have believed the opposite, that the universe is eternal". If Genesis was written to provide understanding of our origins and the consequences of the Fall, then why has this book of the Bible in particular inspired so much debate and controversy? And does it conflict with a scientific understanding of the origins of the universe? If God is a God of truth, why do science and Scripture sometimes seem to disagree? For instance, how can we reconcile the problem of references to the days of creation in Genesis with the estimates of billions of years? Can these apparent discrepancies and disagreements be explained? And in a world beset with troubles and threats of pandemics, hunger, inflation, recession, and nuclear war, why is it necessary to consider the origins of the universe and the human race? In this ambitious book, David Pawson tackles these and other challenging questions within the context of the creation versus evolution debate. In arguing that both God's Word and science are compatible, he points out that "the battles are battles of fact, but the warfare is a warfare of faith".
