Heaven Bound... But Not Yet: Sent back with a mission

By Al and Rosemary Diaz

On August 27, 2009, Al's life was forever changed when during an operation, he popped out of his body and was escorted by an angel out of this world and into the next. Jesus gave Al the choice to stay in heaven or to return to earth with a mandate from the Lord. Upon his return, Al, together with his wife, Rosemary, began the ministry, Heaven Bound But Not Yet. Al says, "It is the desire of my heart to reach as many people as I can, to tell them about Jesus and about the glory of heaven that awaits them."

Book Reviews

Al and Rosemary’s book has been a life changer for many people. We all wonder about life after death. Al’s heavenly visitation gives us assurance that the best is yet to come. It’s a must read.

—Sharon Markley

I was intrigued by Al’s story of his out-of-body experience. It was so real I could visualize what Al was seeing in heaven. It was truly exciting to live the journey through Al.

—Yvette Krogh

If the God we serve exists, then He can rescue us from the furnace of blazing fire,

and He can rescue us from the power of you, the king. But even if He does not rescue us,

we want you as King to know that we will not serve your gods or worship the gold statue you set up.

—Daniel 3:17–18 (HCSB)

Foreword

It is truly amazing how many individual journeys are playing out all around us. The person driving in front of you just found out her husband is leaving her. The cashier at your fast-food joint is about to be evicted. You just never know what people are going through or what you yourself are about to face.

Al Diaz is a friend of mine that had to walk through one of these journeys—the kind no one wants to face.

This is his story, his thoughts, his fears. But it is also the best thing that has ever happened to him because this journey made Al come to life like never before.

Supernatural encounters can be hard to swallow if you have never experienced one personally. But let me encourage you to step into Al’s story with an open heart. It just may lead to your own encounter with Jesus Christ.

The Journey Begins

My Plan

Looking forward to the future is a good thing. It is a great motivator for thinking things through and setting plans into motion. My early twenties was the appropriate phase of my life to begin putting money aside for emergencies. Retirement, on the other hand, seemed so far away. One day, my dad and I were talking about planning for things yet to come.

Retirement was certainly at the top of his list.

He said, Son, the years go by much quicker than you think, so now is the time to plan for retirement.

My dad was a very wise man. Subsequently when he told me to do something, I took it to heart.
