About the author
James L. Garlow
38 books14 followersJim Garlow is an American evangelical leader, author, and former Senior Pastor of Skyline Church in La Mesa, California. Known for his outspoken political activism and theological conservatism, Garlow has played a prominent role in efforts to influence public policy from the pulpit, particularly through his leadership in the "pulpit freedom" movement. He was instrumental in mobilizing religious support for California’s Proposition 8 and later served as chairman of Renewing American Leadership, a nonprofit founded by Newt Gingrich.
A frequent commentator on social and political issues, Garlow advocates for a return to what he calls “authentically biblical” Christianity and has urged evangelicals to abandon the term “evangelical” altogether. He has controversially equated political disengagement among Christians with moral failures of the past and maintains that biblical values must guide political decisions. He has publicly supported Donald Trump and collaborated with figures like Glenn Beck, despite criticism over interfaith alliances.
In addition to his activism, Garlow has authored numerous books, including the New York Times best-seller Cracking DaVinci’s Code. He holds advanced degrees from Drew University, Princeton Theological Seminary, and Asbury Theological Seminary, and has served as a professor at Oklahoma Wesleyan University.
Following the death of his first wife, Carol, in 2013, Garlow married Rosemary Schindler in 2014. Together, they have a blended family of eight children and nine grandchildren.

The Heaven and the afterlife collection By James L Garlow and Keith Wall
I think that its human nature to wonder what happens in heaven and the afterlife. The Heaven and Afterlife Collection is the book for you if you have ever wondered what its like on the other side. Its a collection of stories from people that have first hand had near-death experiences but lived to tell their stories. It gives you biblical answers to common questions like what is heaven like or will we know people when we get there?
When I see this book on the list, I was intrigued and knew right away I wanted to review it. This book is a collection of stories from people that thought they had visions of heaven or hell during their near-death experiences. Some chapters are heartwarming and beautiful others are to me were quite terrifying.
It is a big book and did take me quite a while to finish, I think that the authors stayed very close to what scripture says but as for everything you can give it a read for yourself. I enjoyed it greatly and if you are also intrigued by these things I think that you will too!
