One Minute After You Die

Rating: Recommend

Synopsis: One minute after you die, you will either be elated or terrified-and it will be too late to reroute your travel plans.

When you slip behind the parted curtain, your life will not be over.  Rather, it will be just beginning-in a place of unimaginable bliss or indescribable gloom. One Minute After You Die opens a window on eternity with a simple and moving explanation of what the Bible teaches about death.

Bestselling author Erwin Lutzer urges readers to study what the Bible says on this critical subject, bringing a biblical and pastoral perspective to such issues as:

  • Channeling, reincarnation, and near-death experiences,
  • What heaven will be like
  • The justice of eternal punishment
  • The death of a child
  • Trusting in God's providence
  • Preparing for your own final moment

Review: This wasn't at all what I was expecting, or what I was looking for when I thought it sounded interesting. I figured that out pretty early on, but decided to stick with it since it's a pretty short book.

After my son was born and I was in the hospital recovering I experienced an interlocution. At least that's what it was according to my mother. I requested this book in an attempt to learn more about that. I know, nothing in the synopsis says that that's what this book addresses, but the "parted curtain" got my attention.

At the end of the day, this wasn't a bad read. It just wasn't what I was looking for at the time. 

I had a hard time rating this. If this is a topic you're interested in, then you will probably find One Minute After You Die interesting. If you're not interested, that's okay too.
