Why I'd hand it to you
John Burke gathered accounts of near-death experiences and compares their common features with what the Bible says about heaven. He finds many overlapping details and offers them as reasons for hope. For people grieving someone they love, or wondering what comes after this life, it can be encouraging. Fairness requires a caution here. Near-death experiences are hard to verify, scientists and theologians interpret them in very different ways, and some Christians are uneasy building a picture of heaven on personal accounts. Read it as comfort and conversation, keeping Scripture at the center, rather than as proof.
