As a young man, John Burke was a skeptic about Christianity and heaven. But when his father was dying of cancer, he read a book about heaven and accepted Jesus immediately.
Over the next thirty-five years, John researched people from all walks of life who had near-death experiences-ranging from neurosurgeons, professors, children, and commercial airline pilots. In many cases, these people consistently told of going to a beautiful place with streams, trees, flowers, mountains, and land.
Heaven is the real life, and what we experience on earth is a shadow of what’s to come.
In these uncertain times, John Burke will give us a glimpse of the eternal hope we have in Christ.

John Burke is the most studied and authoritative voice regarding afterlife experiences. His integrity is beyond reproach. His book represents the most definitive research on NDEs. He is also a profound man of integrity. Thank you John!

People are so caught up in their bodies that they don't want to hear about going to Heaven. For me, I anxious and impatient to go there immediately as soon as the Lord permits me.

I loved the book Imagine Heaven! I lost my daughter in 2014, and know she was a Christian, these NDEs have helped me cope with my loss. So many Christians don’t believe them, but that many people cannot make this up. Thank you for this wonderful book!

What great insights. When by Mom's side as she passed from brain cancer, I wondered whether her spirit recognized me while her soul was still in the room. In the end, her broken brain caused her much confusion. Now I suspect she saw me more clearly than ever; she finally knew how much I loved her despite all our ups and downs.

I was that agnostic doctor and professor who heard NDEs and the ones that seemed the most consistent had a Christian theme. That helped me explore the faith more and change my life; nihilism has been defeated.

One other thing, I had a vision of heaven a couple years ago and the one thing that I vividly remember was a beautiful field with grass that was "alive" . Got chills when I read your book and saw so many people actually saw that in their NDE!

I am trying to understand. You (the interviewer) said, right off the bat) that you hope we/I live 80 90 110, giving us like a 40ish year window, and "hopefully" more. Does that mean you are hoping the Lord does not come back for at least 40 years? I get so let down by comments like that; I am hoping He comes back in less than ten, maybe less than four! I can't imagine this world in another few years, how horrible! I find that people are more likely to feel that way when they have children/grandchildren, so that they get to have the career, the 2.2 kids and the picket fence. If I had kids, i would want them out of here now. Just trying to understand

I have a question about the story you gave of Howard Storm who was an atheist. He got saved after he was dead when we've always been taught that after you die is too late to ask Jesus to save us. I would like to know what you think about that. I believe it myself but I'd like to know what you say. Thanks

John Burke says to be clear these people are not actually dead. They haven't passed through the threshold he said. They are outside of heaven. So this would align if true.

Take a look at 1 Peter 4:6. In the NIV translation it reads "For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead". The Greek word translated now does not exist. The translators added the word now because they were reading that verse through the lens of their own theology. This and a few other poorly translated passages is what messed up their theology in the first place.

This seems to contradict 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 where the dead shall rise first. How are they rising to meet Jesus if they are already there?

Its saying that the dead will reconnect with their body for we are 3 part spirit, soul, and body.... and when we die if we accepted Jesus our spirit goes to be with Him while our physical body goes in the ground . That's why Jesus told the man on the cross with Him that today you will be with me in paradise in Luke 23:43. Its all about interpretation and I have had questions too and the Holy Spirit help me to get this revelation and hope this helps!

To the mature it's an add on benefits and inspiration. But to the newbies could be a slight distraction and detour. Most Christians are not in the word, most Christians are not established solid foundation of the word even for those who have gone to Church for 40/50 yrs. (2 Peter 3:18)
