Publisher's Synopsis
EXCERPTS: Bob in HeavenIt bothered him not at all that this was not what he thought Heaven would be like. To him this was absolute perfection. Just to stand and love these people, or angels, or spirits or whatever they were, he could not decide and did not care.After a short time, he could not tell how long, of just standing and smiling he could constrain himself no longer. He jumped two times out of pure joy and then started to run towards them. As he got closer he could make out smiles on their faces. They were not the same type of smile that Bob had. These were soft, very content smiles. He tried to run faster but could not reach them.When he was very close they parted down the middle and faded away.Then the darkness behind them lifted and he could see another golden light. The light was the same color of gold as the people who had faded away but much brighter.Out of the light another group of people began to walk towards him. As their faces became clear Bob fell to his knees and began to softly weep. He covered his face with his hands for just a second. He looked again at the man at the front of the group. It was his father.Jim in Hell: A huge demon was approaching him from the left. The monster was at least eight feet tall. It was covered with a scaly skin that appeared to be rotting. Its head was enormous even for its body size. The demon didn't have horns, rather the entire top of its head looked like a horn. A pointed nose sloped down into a wide set angry mouth. The teeth pointed down past its bottom lip.The eyes were most terrifying. They were black with yellow rims. The eyes did not look at Jim. They seemed to be looking just past him. As the beast lumbered towards him its feet were kicking up the bones lying around him. The clacking sound of the bones knocking against other bones added to the fear. Jim could fill the evil emanating from the demon. Would his bones soon join those?He knew they would not. He was here forever. This was not a logical thought. There was no reason to think this but he knew it more than he had ever known anything. Even death would bring him no relief. The terror and the horror would last for eternity. The demon walked right in front of him without even a sideways glance. Jim let out the smallest sigh of relief.And then it grabbed him."One of the most detailed descriptions of the Near Death Experience of Heaven and Hell ever created.
