It really isn't a fair fight, is it? The finite against the infinite. The limited against the unlimited? Is God indifferent to my suffering? How do I resolve this anger at God? Why didn't God prevent this from happening? Will I see loved ones again? Or is heaven just a "feel good" myth? People assume Christians have all the answers; yet, in the face of tragedy, death, or suffering, everyone struggles to find just the right words to bring comfort or closure to those in need. Sometimes just hearing "It is God's will" isn't enough. Sometimes just saying "God will turn this to good" seems so meaningless when despair is so profound. Often the pain goes too deep, the questions won't go away, and even the assurance of faith doesn't help. How could God let this happen? How can God love us, yet allow us to suffer in this way? What is the point of this? What is the purpose? In this provocative new book, Ken Ham makes clear answers found in the pages of Scripture - powerful, definitive, and in a way that helps our hearts to go beyond mere acceptance. When you grasp the reality of original sin (and all that it means), it creates a vital foundation for your heart to finally understand what follows.

This book talks about having live and having it more abundantly, though the shed blood of Jesus on the cross at Calvary. When Jesus rose from the grave early one Sunday morning we too will rise up out of our dead circumstances. Jesus rose with all power in His hands. We too possess love, power and a sound mind. Get the book and be blessed. Jesus' resurrection is greater than sin and death, it is sin's inevitable result of human failure. So many Christians today are dying because they live in sin and do not understand how Jesus' death gave them life. There is purpose is pain. Hurting people, hurt people and suffering is painful, no one likes to suffer. There's nothing to be ashamed of because you were or are being persecuted by the enemy. Don't take it personal, it's the devil's job. But, it may seem that our outward man is perishing but it's only because God is strengthening us inwardly. The old self dies and a new creature emerges. We no longer think the way we used to think, or act the way we used to act, or talk the way we used to talk. Romans 6:4 NIV says "we were buried with Jesus through baptisms into death in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life." And now sin's power is broken, we are no longer bound by the law. We belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed us from the power of sin that leads to death.

Though dreaded, there is no topic which people are so reticent to speak about as death--and nothing in life which is more certain. Man cannot postpone what he ignores nor remove the terror from what he persists in forgetting. This is perhaps the last fear that is overcome in the heart of the child of God. In an effort to help the believer face death with frankness, understanding and purpose, the author answers such pertinent questions as: What is death? Will the dead live again? What and where is heaven? Shall we know each other there? What is the resurrection, the nature of the resurrected body, and the believer's judgment? And most important--How do we prepare? While reference is made to spiritual death, physical death is the primary subject of this study. Factual, scriptural, and well-organized, The Christian After Death offers hope, assurance, promise, and a challenge.

Is death the end of human existence and consciousness, or do we continue in some other place or state of being? Do we go to a place of everlasting reward or eternal torment? Are we destined to be reincarnated, coming to life again in a different body in a seemingly endless cycle of living and dying? Will we ever see deceased loved ones again? Is there somewhere you can go to find the answers to these questions? The Bible tells us exactly what happens after death. It tells us what happens to those who have done right (will they go to heaven?) and wrong (or be tormented in an ever-burning hell?) and reveals the fate of the billions of people who have never known God and His way of life. Most churches claim to teach what the Bible says—but what does it really reveal? You need to discover the answers yourself inside this Bible Study aid, What Happens After Death?.

But the Bible’s simple teaching conveys nothing like this." "Understanding the meaning of life, death and what follows this physical life can give priceless comfort and hope in the face of death. It should also have a great impact on the kind of person you are, motivating you to live carefully and make wise choices."
