How do we walk a journey of faith while holding the earth-shattering pain of this world?

How do you know if you're going to heaven? How do you avoid going to hell? Learn what its like in heaven and hell from Emanuel Swedenborg's conversations with angels and spirits as this eighteenth-century Christian mystic explains what happens when we die.

It is said that only two things are inevitable: death and taxes. But neither is absolutely true. Some people live in such a way that they avoid taxes altogether. And, for Christians who are alive when Jesus comes to Rapture His Church, death will be avoided as well. But for everyone else, the very thought of dying can rob them of joy in this life. Shakespeare wondered, “in that sleep of death what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil must give us pause….Ay, there’s the rub.” Christians should certainly have no such anxiety. Dr. David Reagan explores life’s ...

Life after a husband's death is full of grief, uncertainty, and loneliness. Who can possibly understand the heavy ache of this new life that must be lived alone?

Each prayer is accompanied by a verse from Scripture that grounds the prayer not in self-pity, but in an awareness of the boundless care of the God of all comfort.

Jesus is your model and example on how to deal with every crisis and circumstance. You were never created to react to your circumstances! It’s easy to do, and we all fall prey to that mindset. Whether it’s personally or globally, we want to immediately react in knee-jerk fashion to the crises we are experiencing. The problem is we start to pray from a place of crisis, fear, and anxiety. When you know who the Father is and what He says about what you are going through, you can pray from a place of confidence. You can stand strong, even when everything seems to be shaking around you. ...

This book is Part 2 of a series written to explain why “bad” people go to heaven and “good” people don’t.

Is there a more important topic than that? Jesus Christ had much to say about heaven, hell, and who goes where. It was one of his favorite topics. And for good reason. Don’t you want to know where you will spend eternity? In Luke 7:36-50 we find the Son of God having dinner with a Pharisee named ...
