If there was ever a need-to-know book, AfterLife is it. On his daily call-in radio show, the most common questions Hanegraaff fields are about the hereafter.For instance, millions are voraciously reading about the near-death experiences of young children. Consumers are desperate for knowledge and reassurance about what comes after life on this earth. Hank Hanegraaff, one of the most remarkable theological minds of the 21st century, explains the marvelous way this physical life connects our past to our eternal future. AfterLife gives readers a clear and concrete understanding about what happens after death to us and to those we love.


My take on this book: 
I must admit until I reviewed "Afterlife" by Hank Hanegraaf I had never heard of this author, and really wondered just how he would approach some of the questions that I new this book was geared toward. After all part of the title is "What you need to know about Heaven, the Hearafter, & near-death experiences." Questions that I am sure we have all pondered from time to time. For me one of the questions that jumped out at me was whether our pets and other animals will go to heaven. This is a question that has plagued me for years and I really had never got a true answer for. Well the author certainly answered that question for me, and he doesn't just give his opinion, but also backs up his answer with scriptures that I can look up and read for myself.

This book covers a myriad of questions concerning the afterlife, from what and where is Heaven, to near death experiences, ghosts and many other topics. The author provides answers in a clear, concise, easy to understand way and provides scripture reference so that you can dig deeper into God's word for greater understanding.
 
I have been reading my Bible consistently this year, and find myself having many questions about some of the things that I am reading. Well "AfterLife" by Hank Hanegraaff has really helped to answer some of those questions. I always hesitate to mark up my books, but I find myself highlighting many answers in this one because "Afterlife" is so much more than just another book, for me it is a true study guide that I find myself reaching for as I read my Bible. Whether you a new christian, or a more seasoned one just looking for answers about the afterlife and what promises the Bible holds on this interesting topic this book certainly is for you. I think this book would make a perfect group study, and would make a wonderful gift.While the Bible ultimately has all the answers "Afterlife" is like a road map that will help you find the answers to questions that you may be having about what happens after death. Overall, this book has had such an impact on me, creating an unquenchable thirst for more answers to Biblical questions, that I have already ordered two of this author's previous books and can't wait to dive into them. 

A  complimentary copy of this book was provided in exchange for an honest review.

  2. Thank you, Brenda, for reading and so very thoughtfully reviewing AfterLife! I especially appreciate your observation that Hank grounds everything he says in Scripture. AfterLife helps us to live in Christ here and now with an eternal perspective!
