Why read it?

2 authors picked Imagine Heaven as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Thinking about the hope of heaven kept my mental health positive while going through cancer treatments.

This book includes several near-death experiences of people all over the world who literally died for a moment and saw the afterlife. As a witness to the spiritual realm, they give us vivid descriptions of heaven and what they saw while their physical bodies were dead.

These amazing stories from people of different ages and religions point to the reality of a beautiful place that I can’t wait to experience after I die.

While this is a non-fiction book, it gives the reader a lot to ponder and consider about what heaven will be like. There are many near-death experiences that are collated. While the experience of each person is not the same, one finds what is overlapping is the wonder, amazement, and awe-inspiring scenes that were experienced.

From Randy's list on stories about angels and heaven.
