Publisher's Synopsis
After a serious road accident, a young man finds himself in Heaven. There, he meets up with relatives, friends and others and explores with them the nature of Heaven and a Christian perspective on aspects of life on earth. The existence and nature of life after death have preoccupied human beings since earliest times and across most religions and cultures. Face to Face makes an easily accessible contribution to the debate that is delightful to read, insightful and provocative. Topics include the ethics of war, the structure and work of the Church, materialism, the search for happiness, the nature of death, forgiveness and love. The subject is treated in a simple and straightforward way and, although serious in its approach to the subject matter, the style is light and the book is written with affection and humour. It is a must for anyone concerned with questions of mortality or interested in the application of Christian precepts to daily living. It may also provide comfort to anyone affected by the death of a friend or loved one.
