Although they may have used the name of their god (probably because that was the only name they knew for God), their descriptions describe Jesus as He is described in the Bible. As an international speaker, John has addressed hundreds of thousands of people in twenty countries on topics of leadership and spiritual growth.
John Burke brings the mind of an engineer, the heart of a pastor, and the discipline of a journalist as he tackles the subject like Heaven. This gave us a 4 day weekend - 2 days to drive down and 2 days to drive back home with an afternoon visit on Saturday and a bit more than a half day on Sunday. The focus of this book is definitely heaven, how studies of NDE (Near Death Experiences) support the scriptures.Burke even dabbles in a bit of physics (my husband was educated as a physicist so we appreciated that bit). Such was the experience of Captain Dale Black when he died after the twin-engine Piper Navajo he was in collided with an aviation monument right after take-off. There is great variety and if you have not read about NDE's, this would be a great book to get a comprehensive view of them.
Imagine Heaven' by John Burke takes readers on a journey through near-death experiences and the stories of those who have seen heaven. The only reason I’m giving it a 4 is because I was hoping it would go into more detail on certain subjects such as relationships in heaven, pet’s in heaven, etc. Most of the doctors found out that they had to be telling truth about seeing themselves dead because they gave every detail about what got in their charts.If you’re Christian, there might be dozens of angels playing trumpets and massive crowds singing church songs for all eternity. 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. It's so much more than a collection of NDEs; John Burke is an evangelist at heart and he filters the many, many testimonies through the lens of Scripture. She was quickly rushed to the emergency room, but she was given only a 10 percent chance of survival when she lapsed into a coma due to brain swelling. It is a perfect time to engage in discussion about life, death, and the future with some fascinating insights into the possibilities of what lies beyond this life.
A book which reviews all the NDE testimonies and gives a disinterested assessment of where they align with Christian dogma would be interesting. But knowing a little about the amazing place that God has prepared for us makes me see this life differently, in the best possible way.My only issue is that in relating the experiences various people get a mention numerous times within the book and it was at times confusing trying to discriminate who was who!

Imagine Heaven has encouraged me to try to see others through God's eyes -- His love, mercy, and grace. I knew it would be a surprise if she made it through the summer and I instantly thought of this book. I’ve always held God’s truth in my heart that He prepared a place for us to live with Him after we pass away from earth.
The descriptions of Heaven made me eager to see it in person, and the NDE stories strengthened the impression I received from my husband's "visit" that Heaven is a place of incredible joy. I feel that it might have made her passing a lot less scary and to know that it was this book that made it possible for me to tell her the things I'd read.At the time she was comatose in the hospital, she found herself out of her physical body and freely traveling through her surroundings.
