More From The Afterlife

What Happens One Second After We Die?
Mar 30, 2023  •  Don Stewart  •  In this book, we will look at what the Bible has to say about the state of those who have died. What happens to people “one second” after they die? Are they conscious or do they sleep? Do believers go immediately to heaven and unbelievers immediately to hell? What does the Bible say? We will consider these and other related questions as we examine this important topic of the present state of the dead.
Resurrection and Judgment
Don Stewart  •  This book will look at what comes after the “in-between” state. In this third volume we will look at the subjects of the resurrection of the dead as well as the coming biblical judgments. The Bible says there will come a day when the bodies of the dead will be joined with their soul or spirit. Once this occurs, the dead will be judged. The righteous dead will not be judged for their sin. Indeed, judgment for believers consists of rewards. However, the same cannot be said for the unrighteous. Their judgment will consist of punishment. The Bible has much to say about these topics. Therefore, it is crucial that we understand that one day our bodies will be raised and that we will be judged for our choices here upon the earth. Consequently, this is a very important topic to consider.
Heaven: The Final Destination for Believers
Don Stewart  •  We now arrive at our fourth book in the series on the afterlife. In this book, we will look at the subject of the final destination of those who believe in the God of the Bible. Scripture says that when believers die in Jesus Christ they go to be with the Lord in a place called heaven. There are so many questions that arise about heaven. Where is it? What will people do in heaven? Will we recognize our loved ones? This book deals with these and other questions about the future home of believers.
Hell: The Final Destination for Unbelievers
Don Stewart  •  We now arrive at the last book in our series on the afterlife, the subject of hell. This last book in our series deals with the difficult topic of hell. We will answer such questions as: Is there really a place called hell? Who goes there? Why do people have to go to hell? And how can a person avoid going to hell? We will look at these, as well as other related questions about the final state of the wicked, as we wrap up our series on the afterlife.
