The blind can see. The dead come back to life. These events may seem to be limited to Biblical stories, historical events with saints, or (according to skeptics), fairy tales and propaganda. But it’s today’s reality. Is God speaking to us? If so, what is His message?
Approximately 5.5 percent of people spanning across 35 countries have reported having a near-death experience (NDE). In “Imagine the God of Heaven,” New York Times best-selling author John Burke breaks open the ties between these near-death experiences (NDE) and what we know about God from Sacred Scripture. “Imagine the God of Heaven” is a work of art, a masterpiece, that depicts the God of the Bible as one speaking to His creatures through NDEs. His message? He is madly in love with each one of us.
Burke illustrates 10 points of evidence for life after death depicted through these NDEs and contained within the Bible. These 10 points, when applied to any skeptic’s explanation of NDEs, smashes any alternate theories as to the cause of these experiences. The only explanation that withstands all 10 points is that God is real, life after death is a reality, and God loves us.
“God is better than you imagine. Just stretch your imagination to see more clearly how beautiful, how wonderful, how ‘for you’ God really,” Burke said. “What I’m trying to show is that when you look at what they (NDErs) report, commonly it aligns with the Scriptures. My real interest of them is not near-death experiences, which may sound bizarre, but it’s really in helping people see who the God of the Bible is and what God is actually like and that he has revealed things about himself in Scripture and it correlates with what these death experiences reveal. I think near-death experiences add color.”
“Imagine the God of Heaven” is an encouraging work to begin your day and help focus on the God walking with you and loving you daily. At night, the imagery and truth of being loved unconditionally and beyond all words can help you shed any stresses and anxieties from the day and to sleep in the arms and presence of the light of love.

"Imagine the God of Heaven" is quite possibly one of the best books I have read in a long time.
