Product Description
A recent Newsweek poll reports that 76 percent of Americans believe in heaven. Yet even avid believers have difficulty conjuring up more than vague images of halos, harps, and wispy angels in flowing robes. Anthony DeStefano knew there had to be a more complete, meaningful, and comforting vision of what heaven is like, and A Travel Guide to Heaven is the entertaining and enlightening result.
Using the Bible as his guide, the author notes that heaven is not only a spiritual place, but also a physical place, a fabulous “luxury resort” more sumptuous than any on Earth. The residents are real, their bodies transformed into their most perfect selves—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. By making a spiritual subject immensely physical, the book provides a picture of amazing places to visit, things to do, luxuries for pampering—not to mention deep, abiding joy.
Combining the clarity and logic of C. S. Lewis with a terrific sense of fun and adventure, DeStefano creates a brilliant, reassuring portrait of heaven, a place that has intrigued and puzzled humankind throughout history. With its clear view of the afterlife, A Travel Guide to Heaven might best be compared to James Van Praagh's Talking to Heaven or Betty J. Eadie's Embraced by the Light in its tremendous message of comfort and reassurance.

This book has problems. If you want to read a thoughtful, Scripture-backed book on what to expect in Heaven, I suggest Randy Alcorn's.

Heavenly Possibilities
Rating  (4)
Date: 2008-07-17
This book is an imaginative, fun conception of what heaven COULD be like based on the author's interpretation of various Scripture passages, Church tradition, and the desire to give people an uplifting concept of heaven that is not bogged down with overly pious negativity. Who knows how accurate it is or isn't? I imagine that in heaven people won't waste time looking for reasons to criticize others or their ideas. If we each started that practice today, we just might get a taste of now! Bravo, Mr. Destefano for giving us something to look forward to!

Refresher
Rating (4)
Date: 2008-06-21
For all those Christians who are somewhat reluctant to "give up" this earth on account of the loving attachment they have for it, this book is a refreshing breath of air. Heaven is not static, nor is it altogether removed from the realm we know as earth. Lots of nagging questions are dealt with in this simple book. While it may not withstand all critical Christian investigation ,it will nonetheless allow your thought processes to encounter intriguing notions. A good book to pass along...

A Fun Read, But Not Well Documented
Rating  (3)
Date: 2008-06-08
0 out of 1 customers found this reveiw helpful
This is a fun book to read, but it is definitely not the best one on the subject. It is heavy on the speculation and light on the substance.
The author has a great imagination. Many of his ideas may end up being realistic, but many of them are unsupported by his footnotes. There are some very good parts, and some that are not so great.
Perhaps the best part is that it gets readers out of their bland thoughts of Heaven. As Mr. DeStefano says, "People say they believe heaven is a place of incredible happiness, but deep down, I think they're a little afraid it's going to be, well, boring." I believe that this is very accurate. Hollywood, popular culture, and even pastors often portray Heaven as a place where angels are floating around playing harp music or similarly bland visions.
The author has really done a great job of stimulating the imagination about what it may really be like. He pictures it as nonstop fun, excitement, and adventure. I have no problem with his ideas except that he regularly presents them as definitely the way it will be. For example, on page 50, he says: "We'll be able to see ancient Rome again, not in ruins, but clad in all its golden splendor. We'll be able to see the Pyramids and the Sphinx just as they were on the day they were built." That may be true and it may not. I certainly don't know that and neither does Mr. DeStefano. He makes many similar statements throughout the book.
Although this is a fun book for speculative purposes, it should not be considered authoritative. One book on this subject that I highly recommend is Heaven. It is much more substantive while still presenting a very exciting picture of Heaven.

Travel Guide To Heaven was a very inspirational book to read. After reading the book, I now have something to believe in, when it comes to the afterlife. We will all experience death, and this book gives us something to look forward to, when our number is up.

Learn to be a Woman of Grace
Rating  (5)
Date: 2007-04-29
3 out of 3 customers found this reveiw helpful
Another excellent book in Cynthia Heald's "Becoming a Woman of..." series.
Helpful for both new beginners in Bible study as well as those who have had more experience, and useful for both individual as well as group study.
The format keeps the individual/group interested, it is a good combination of looking up Bible verses and reading well-chosen quotes/commentary selections. Also, it is not simply a book for amassing more knowledge, but you are challenged to apply what you are learning.
If you want to learn more about God's grace and how His grace helps you to become a woman of grace, this is the book/Bible study for you!

This is the first book by Cynthia Heald that I have ever purchased, and I am hooked! It is the absolute best Bible study/devotional I have ever purchased. You are prompted to read short excerpts from the Bible and are then given questions from the author that allow you to reflect on what you have read. There is space provided for comments, as well as additional empty "notes" pages in the back. I am a very hands on learner so this format is great for me. Although, I am a daily Bible reader, this study has really helped me to grasp the power and awe of God's grace. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Cynthia's Heald's books "Becoming a woman of..." books are excellent for any woman, whether you are just starting to read the Bible or have read it 10 times. Cynthia's writing style was truly impressive to me. Each chapter starts with a reflective Bible verse and an exerpt from a Christian author or speaker. Then it gives you three or four different verses to look up in the Bible, sections to write your notes, and then a section with the Author's reflection on the concept of the chapter. The chapters increase in complexity, each more challenging as you go on through the book. I bought them all at once, along with "Loving Your Husband" which is also in this Bible study format.

Becoming a Woman of Grace was a wonderful study! It went back to the basics of christianity by defining the purpose of the law (10 commandments) and the purpose and reason for grace! I have always been impressed with Cynthia Healds books... they provide a great format for getting into the word and really learning what it means to be a better woman for Christ!

Excellent resource for the foundations of immortality
Rating (4)
Date: 1997-01-07
11 out of 11 customers found this reveiw helpful
The authors seek to establish not only the rationality and justification of belief in immortality, but seek to show through epistemological comparison how immortality is just as factual as many more accepted concepts.
The belief in mind/body dualism is explored extensively with great merit. The sections on near-death experiences are interesting - though their merit to the overall issue is questionable and questioned by the authors.
The weakest portion of the book is that section dedicated to dealing with the fear of death. Approached from a thoroughly Christian perspective, it seems rather anemic. William Cullen Bryant's _Thanatopsis_ comes to mind as a greater source of solace.
Overall, the book deserves serious consideration - especially in light of the two-century attack dualism has endured - and the more recent rejection of dualism as a Christian concept my modern theists.
