    About this ebook

    In all likelihood, most of us wonder about the end of life here, how to be ready when it comes, and what the future holds. We hear all sorts of answers from many sources, from wild to probable. Many people believe that heaven is a place where all the good go after we die, so “You’d better watch out, you’d better not cry,” and that heaven is everlasting and to be much preferred over the alternative—hell.

    Consider this question: What seems to have been God’s primary purpose for heaven? One answer would be that He wants to populate it with human beings who are most like His Son, Jesus Christ. But how could that be accomplished?

    My thoughts on the broad subject of death come from knowing Jesus and walking with Him for about seventy-eight years. I came to know Him as a child, having heard His call upon my life. Our conversations along the way led me to give Him my best in training my mind and heart, in practical service through several open doors, through marriage and family, through struggles and accomplishments, through many sorrows and sicknesses, and through years of disability and retirement. Like old Apostle John who learned so much from the Risen Lord in his long life, I believe that He has laid some things upon my heart that must be shared. Hence, this book.

    Here, you will find insights that may correct things you’ve always believed, give help with understanding, or learn approaches that you never considered, pricks of conscience, or just delightful affirmations. Here are a few of the ideas you’ll find here:

    Where does it start…and end? The eternal “now” The Eternal One—not three

    “Let there be,” and there is—but only if!” Creation and development

    When you became only “a mortal” God who keeps speaking—“Why don’t you answer?”

    First death and resurrection and Second death and resurrection The sin that God can’t forgive

    “Through death into life everlasting, He leads” “He leads, and we follow Him there.”

    Heaven or hell or an alternative? Sin’s consequences before Abram Mansions

    Ritual or relationship? The startling paradigm shift How the Word becomes personal.

    Being at home in heaven What if there’s a stalemate? How to know for sure

    Here and now with me as though He is nowhere else He loves you intensely!

    “Always”—the victory habit and more.

    Blessings!

    —Brother Wes
