Publisher's Synopsis
(NOTE: This book is similar to "Was Jesus God? Why Evil?" written for people who have never read the Bible. Because there are so many Bible citations referred to, those citations have been placed in the back of the book for smoother reading for them. That version also addresses Muslim objections to Christianity. "The Road to Heaven" was written for people with a working knowledge of the Bible with citations within the text.
WHY EVIL? If God is all powerful, why doesn't he just stop evil from happening? What does that have to do with Jesus? Was Jesus really God like John 1:1&14 says?.More and more people are asking this question. Atheists have always questioned this. More Christians are now. During and after the Viet Nam War, many Buddhists entered the Christian Western World. Buddhism teaches the futilism of reincarnation and there is no such thing as truth. .Now many Muslims are coming into the Christian society and claiming Christians believe in three Gods. We tell them there is only one God, but they hear us speak of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Are they right? Deep down, do we believe in a main God and two sub-Gods? This is a deep subject, but the study of it is very interesting and rewarding, and helps us draw closer to God..Come along now with me and refresh your spirit........

WHAT DOES BEING SAVED MEAN? When I am drowning, I am not saved to the shore, I am saved from the water. In a spiritual sense, we are not saved to heaven. We are saved from something, that something being Satan. When Jesus ransomed us, he did not ransom us to heaven. He ransomed us from Satan..........It all started in the Garden of Eden when God told Adam and Eve, "The day you eat the forbidden fruit, you will die." And they did. Their spirits died and the author of Death Satan got us. This book takes the reader through all the things God did to get us away from Satan and back to Him, our creator and the lover of our soul. Yes, he gave us rules. Why? For the same reason, we were given rules as children to keep us from running out into the street and getting run over and killed. Why does God get angry when we break one of his rules? Not because we insulted him but because we have endangered our souls and it is breaking his heart. .The book ends with the promises of heaven. What we will be like. What heaven will be like. And how we yearn for that day when we will, at last, be home
