Before Jesus left this planet over two thousand years ago, He promised He would return to receive all believers onto Himself--believers who are dead and then believers who will be alive at the time of His return. All the things Jesus promised regarding the judgment, the punishment of the unrighteous, the experience of eternal life, and the completion and inheritance of His everlasting kingdom totally rely on the fact that Jesus must first come back to the planet He left, which is the Earth. This book presents biblical facts that refute the things we have been told about judgment day and the place of eternal punishment that is better known as hell. I present from the Holy Scriptures the fact that no one is presently burning in hell. I also prove by what is stated in the Scriptures that Christ must return, then the dead must be raised, and Judgment must occur first before any person will experience the punishment of hell. I also refute the nonbiblical assumption that says "good people go to heaven and bad people go to hell." I also provide information that will help any and all serious Bible students (even some casual Bible readers) to understand certain Bible words--words that are important in correctly understanding particular passages of Scripture the way they are intended to be understood. I present what the Bible reveals and what it actually says about the dead and what it says about the resurrection of the unsaved and salvation--salvation that can only be received through faith in Christ. I also show how those three things are relative to the coming of Christ, the judgment, and the punishment of all who reject God's love and mercy. This book is informative and challenging and gets straight to the point--no bloviating. The content of this book should either cause a reader to make the decision to receive Christ or inspire a believer to tell someone who is on the road to destruction about God's love and mercy that are received through faith in His Son, Jesus, who died and was resurrected to save and justify every person who would accept His gift of mercy and eternal life.

The resurrection promise has been pushed into obscurity and made irrelevant by the more popular fallacy that says believers go immediately to heaven after death. This book presents Biblical facts that prove believers do not go immediately to heaven after death as we hear preached from the church podium. This book not only gives Scriptural-based explanations to what we should expect to occur after death, but also challenges the conclusion that says when believers die they go to be with the Lord only to be resurrected to meet the Lord for a second time.We examine fairly each Scripture passage that allegedly supports that widely held belief, and we present a critical analysis of how those passages are being understood against what they are actually conveying. We apply the rule of contextual understanding of every verse or Bible statement: in doing so, we expose the failure of not considering every word in a Bible verse (or statement). We prove that those passages that allegedly support the claim that believers go immediately to heaven after death, only seem to imply, at best, that heaven is where we (who are believers) go when we die. We also prove that the way they understand those passages only conflicts with what is said elsewhere in Scripture.This book presents the fact that there is not a single recording in the Bible where Jesus or his apostles mentioned that a person that died is in heaven. We also show that eternal life cannot be experienced unless the believer is resurrected, and that the believer's resurrected body is changed at the moment of Christ's return, that is, before He enters the Earth's atmosphere.If you feel you must exercise your liberty to disagree with what is present in this book, you will still be left with many important questions that are raised in this book that require real answers, I mean, answers that don't contradict or conflict with what is said by or revealed through each and every Biblical writer; because truth is always consistent.This book will leave you with the fact that God never promised anyone an experience in heaven that precedes the resurrection. This book also answers relative questions such as: why believers are said to be asleep? Why nothing is mentioned in the Bible about the joy and happiness believers are experiencing in heaven presently? Why Jesus told His disciples after revealing to them He would be returning to the Father, that they could not come where He was going? These and many other related questions are sufficiently answered in this book.Reading this book can be both a learning experience and a challenge to everything you think you know about death and the resurrections of the redeemed. What is presented in this book, should not only rectify false beliefs and expectations concerning heaven, but also clarify the fact that eternal life fully depends on the return of Christ and the resurrection.

A survey of the basic elements that have constituted psychological healing over the centuries. Dr Stanley Jackson seeks to show that healing practices, whether they come from the world of medicine, religion or philosophy, share certain elements that transcend space and time.
