Life After Death takes an in-depth look at the important issues surrounding death. Does it matter what we believe? Why do we avoid talking about it? Can we confidently assume there is life after death? This book presents the Christian view of death and what lies beyond. It doesn't avoid the difficult questions of judgment and the possibility of missing out on all that God has planned for his people. However, for those who are searching for a real relationship with the living God, Life After Death presents a glorious message of hope and certainty. You don't have to go through life with any doubt about the future. On the contrary, if you are willing to accept all that God offers, on his terms, you will be able to look forward to an endless future in which you will experience all that God, in his infinite love and wisdom, has planned for you. You will also find a hope that will transform your goals, values, and understanding of every part of this present life.In every age death has held a perennial fascination for men and women and there is a plethora of ideas about death and especially what lies beyond--every religion has its philosophy on this matter ... How can we know about such things? Is your guess as good as mine? In this age of pluralism can we know the truth? Dick Tripp--in this excellent, helpful, and timely volume--leads us to the Christian's source book--the Bible--for meaningful answers. Answers that underscore once again what a loving, caring God we have who has made every provision that we could ever need to this life and for eternity. --From the foreword by Derek EatonFormer Bishop of Nelson and Assistant Bishop of CairoDick Tripp (MA, Cambridge) is a retired Anglican clergyman who has worked in parish ministry in the Diocese of Christchurch, New Zealand.
