Is There More?: Heaven, Hell, and the Eternal Life that Begins Now

by Leslie D. Weatherhead, A. Kingsley Weatherhead

Think you know everything there is to know about the life that lies beyond this one? Think again. Questions about life beyond death are always with us. In this classic volume, Leslie Weatherhead answers personal and important questions about heaven, hell, and the future God has in store for us.“Eternal life is . . . a quality and not just a quantity; . . . a quality of communion with God that clearly begins now. You know, people talk about the afterlife and they say, ‘He’s gone to be with God.’ But he has always been with God, and the highest heaven doesn’t mean that God exists in any fuller measure. It can only mean that our power of communion deepens. But one of the marvelous things about the Christian gospel is that the offer of eternal life is here and now.” –from chapter 1Check out other resources by Dr. Weatherhead, including The Will of God, in the Related Products Section below.

Reviews

[Ginny Thurston · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent discussion of life after death through a question and answer format. It asks as many questions as it answers, but I found the author to be very open-minded and comforting.

Interesting dialogue but not quite what I expected.

Weatherhead presents a case for the immortality of the soul which religious people will find easier to accept than others. The book is almost 50 years old and the fact that it is still being read says a lot about the potential veracity of it. It covers a subject that, to quote Paul, is like "...seeing in a mirror dimly, but then face-to-face." We simply don't have the capacity in mortal life to comprehend what may happen after this life is over. I recommend it for anyone who is interested in opening this subject to a closer inspection. I would never try to convince anyone to believe as I do about this subject, or any subject related to faith matters. To me these subjects are a matter of personal understanding about something can likely never be fully explained with the facilities we have at our disposal. That is why it is called faith, not fact.
