NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OVER 1.5 MILLION COPIES SOLD Heaven is even more amazing than you've ever imagined All of us long to know what life after death will be like. Bestselling author John Burke is no exception. In Imagine Heaven, he compares more than one hundred gripping stories of near-death experiences to what Scripture says about our biggest questions of Heaven, including: ● Will I be myself? ● Will I see friends and loved ones? ● What will Heaven look like? ● What will we do forever? ● What about children and pets? Burke shows how the common experiences shared by thousands of near-death survivors--including doctors, college professors, bank presidents, people of all ages and cultures, and even blind people--point to the exhilarating picture of Heaven promised in the Bible. This thrilling journey into the afterlife will make you feel like you've been there, forever changing the way you view the life to come--and the way you live your life today.
作品考察・見どころ
ジョン・バークは、膨大な臨死体験者の証言と聖典の記述を緻密に交差させ、死後の世界という形而上学的な問いに、驚くほど鮮烈で具体的な色彩を与えました。本書の本質的な魅力は、単なる体験談の羅列に留まらず、人種や背景を超えた「普遍的な魂の帰郷」を論理的かつ情熱的に導き出した点にあります。 多層的な天国の描写は、読者の死生観を根底から揺さぶります。光の中での再会や永遠の安らぎといったビジョンは、未知への恐怖を、今この瞬間を尊く生きるための歓喜へと昇華させます。知的好奇心と霊的な渇望を同時に満たし、人生の景色を一変させる至高の探求の書といえるでしょう。
