review 1: Take your time and read this book slowly. Devour every word, stop and ponder every paragraph, and isolate yourself for an hour or two after you have read a chapter. Think about what you have just read.Of course, if you have never considered the reason or reasons for your existence here on planet Earth, this reading will be difficult. If you have never given any thought to where you will be spending eternity, the perusal of truths listed in this volume will perplex you. And, if you believe in the superiority of man over God and can explain every nuance of man's dismal record of civilization, you may as well continue hopelessly on.Jonathan Edward's dangling of the human spirit, along with Satan and his followers, over the Lake of Fire, located near or under the Dead Sea, can... more be interesting, to say the least. Intermediate heaven, paradise, the millennium, the rise of the true AntiChrist, the Son of Perdition, easily capture the imagination and keep you fascinated as to what God, through the Holy Spirit, and through his son Jesus Christ, have in store for mankind at the end of times.The author is convincing, although men and women of glib tongue can easily dispel many of the author's claims, in their minds, at least. Such is the beauty of God's creation of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.Many of us believe, and gloriously so, for we cannot imagine eternity not only without God, but also our beloved pets.
review 2: Normally I do not review books that contain the teachings of others concerning God. I don't believe anyone much less me should be judging the beliefs of others, especially when you don't know the Author or his/her works well enough to form an educated opinion. Thus, I will not be evaluating the biblical content contained in this book.I actually got this book for research into another project I'm working on and have had it for some time. The chapter I was interested in was the one on time travel and a brief explanation of quantum mechanics in relation to time. For the brief explanation found in this book, that chapter was very informative.This is my first foray into Perry Stone, (a Walmart favorite) and lets just say I'm not in any hurry to get another of his books (sorry Walmart). I agree with most of his assumptions that are based on the Scriptures. Stone lists the Scriptures enabling further research and is quite clear on his assessment of the Scriptures referred to. The problems with this book and unfortunately many like it in the genre is that one, it's whole purpose in being is to be an answer book on the afterlife, again sensationalizing and capitalizing on man's fascination with the afterlife. Why don't we just go to the source instead of reading another man's interpretation. The second and much more important problem the book has is there is quite a bit of conjecture and author's opinions written throughout his explanation of the "Secrets". Shouldn't the basis for Biblical guides be completely biblical based?To be fair to the Author, some of the subjects covered only have a couple of scriptures to draw from. Stone demonstrated in this book a willingness to be a Bible Answer Man. I'm not sure if this is in all of his books but in this book the answers seem a bit redundant due to the fact that he covers the material in the chapters. It appears in this book there is quite a bit of "stretching out" to make it book length.Overall this work is a decent research help, but as something just to enjoy reading, you'll enjoy it a whole lot more by checking it out of the library then spending money to buy it. less
