Heaven? Where Did You Get That Idea?
Bill MedleyPaperback 2014-04-04
The most relevant evangelistic challenge of our times is that unbelievers already believe in heaven! When anyone dies, "They are up there smiling down on us!" But where did they get that idea? This book investigates the sources and shows that whether people realise it or not their idea of heaven actually comes from the teaching of Jesus. So the need is - "check with the owner of the place before you presume you have your room booked". If Jesus is not real then neither is heaven. If heaven is real then you need Jesus to get there.
Publisher Description
Surveys have shown that most people in the western world believe in the idea of heaven - but where did the idea come from? Many who believe in heaven don't know the answer to that, which suggests to the sceptic that the concept of heaven is nothing more than wishful thinking. Did the idea of heaven develop through near death experiences? Is there some consensus from the different world religions? '...I've seen better. Some of the grammar and punctuation was quite poor. Where did this guy go to school? It can't have been a Catholic school. Don't they have spell checks down in Australia? Burka is spelt with a "q"'!' Pope Previous 'There were times reading this book when I wished I really was dead. And other times when I just wanted to say to the author, "You ain't nothin' but a hound dog."' Elvis Presley
