| Publisher Description: In this book, eight brief scenarios about nine imaginary people will be presented. Even though the individuals will not have been modeled after anyone in particular, their intent will be to mirror what many people in this world consider to be the very important issues of this life. The point that will be made with each scenario, however, is that every person NO MATTER WHAT will someday die. Therefore, if there is such a thing as an afterlife and if that afterlife lasts forever, then rational intelligent human beings to be rational and intelligent should be at least a little bit concerned about that life after death. While the topics of this book are very serious, playful names have been used to describe the type of each person being discussed. For example, scenario one is about Abercrombie Gotitall. With a name like that, it should be obvious that he is very successful. Scenario two is about Barking Godislove. His main claim is that a loving God would never impose eternal condemnation on anyone. Scenario three is about Causing Imsogood. She believes that it is very important to be a good person and to be involved in positive civic causes. Scenario four is about Doing Moregoodthanbad. Neither saint nor devil is what seems to be most important to him. Scenario five is about Eternity Doesnotexist. Eternity tends to rely on the so-called smart people in this world to let her know the truth about the afterlife. Scenario six is about Foolish Religionisforothers. When he considers the costs of a favorable afterlife, he cannot bring himself to make WHAT HE THINKS are the necessary lifestyle changes to have it. Scenario seven is about Goober Faithshallow. She had repeated a template type of prayer for salvation as a young girl. Then, throughout her whole life, she had counted on that one prayer to get her into heaven once on the other side of the grave. Finally, scenario eight is about Hadnut and Ioline Truefaith. Of the nine people discussed, those are the two that got everything right. In the first two chapters, the first seven scenarios will be presented. The people will be introduced in chapter one and their eternal destiny will be discussed in chapter two. That chapter will also explain why each of them had ended up as they had. In chapter three, a discussion will be presented about what it will be like to die lost. In chapter four, the importance of seeking the Lord with all of one's heart will be emphasized. That chapter will conclude with an introduction and discussion of Hadnut and Ioline Truefaith and their four children. The first part of chapter five will emphasize that Christian people are forgiven but not perfect. That part of the chapter will address some of the difficulties that some of them have faced and some of their clear shortcomings. The second part of the chapter will talk about what it means to DIE SAVED. The Bible does not talk much about that topic. But from what is available, a person can at least know if paradise is located UP or DOWN. From the first page to the last page of this book, the entire intent has been to exalt Jesus. He is the Lord. He is the one that died on the cross so that people CAN come to the Him by faith. Therefore, the whole desire and purpose is to encourage each person to seek Him with all of his or her heart. It is to encourage each person to commit to Him and to trust in Him. It is to encourage each person to enter into a personal relationship with the Creator of everything. Jesus has made all things available and all things possible to every person that will come to Him by faith. |
