From the This story is steeped in my faith which has been the subject of half of my novels. It deals with death and reconciliation with Our Father in Heaven. The plot for this tale came to me in a dream. Most of my books have been based on thoughts and concepts from my muse. I believe I know who my muse is, but that is not a topic we need to delve into at this point. If you choose to believe differently, this story is likely not one you would accept, and that is okay. We all make our own choices that define our present and our future. Please remember this is a work of fiction. I do not claim the experiences in this tale occurred or match our futures. Still, it is a tale of God’s love and our redemption. I hope many will agree that is a worthwhile topic to fill these pages. I have been moved by several books and television programs that explore this train of thought by talking with people who have had near-death experiences. What I have learned from those individuals led me to create this story. I hope you enjoy it and find a kernel of truth within this tale that can give you joy.
Mr. Morgan brings a perspective of hope and faith within the pages of this short story. The journey from life to the afterlife is steeped with foundation convictions for each person and varies based on beliefs. Karl's experiences are told in first person based on his Christian beliefs in Emannuel and the possibilities in the afterlife when individuals do their best.
He used his dogs, often considered man’s best friend, as a stepping stone to other family members, making the unknown less scary. The descriptive world Mr. Morgan created, and the easy dialogue pulls readers into the story to feel, see, smell, and taste the experiences of Karl. The reflection on his life and relationships with others was delightfully highlighted with a jury of his peers. Executed with an outstanding surprise ending you’ll want to experience firsthand. Congrats, Mr. Morgan.
The author's concept of heaven was very interesting. He explained it in an easy to read style of writing that made it equally enjoyable. But Karl Morgan has a vivid imagination so I didn't expect any less from him. It's hard to explain it so I encourage you to read it for yourself. I guarantee it will get you talking. I give this author 5 stars.
What a great read! The author takes us on a fictional journey through the afterlife after an auto collision puts him in the hospital. There may be some truth in the authors' vision as this story was developed after interviewing patients who experienced 'near-death' episodes.
What I liked the best was that all the dogs that he ever owned or knew were the first to greet him on this special journey; escorting him to the first gate. Afterward, past relatives and peers bring him comfort while facing tribunals. The ending is unexpected but a fitting completion of his journey. Highly recommended.
