Book Description
"To Heaven and Back tells the story of Fr. John Tourangeau's near death experience that took him to the threshold of heaven and back. That episode alone makes this book undeniably memorable. But what makes it important-and a gift for the reader-is that after this life-altering experience Fr. Tourangeau discovers that if he is truly to move from death back to life, he must deal with his own pain and brokenness, with the memories and fears that hold him bound, and with all the things that rob him of hope. In his discovery that he is called to be a "wounded healer," Fr. Tourangeau becomes a trustwor-thy spiritual companion and guide who reminds us that we find free-dom and peace only when we are not afraid to be the person that God's love summons us to be. Most of all, To Heaven & Back is a blessing because it is written with the heartfelt conviction that God always calls us to fullness of life."FROM THE BOOK:"While connecting me up to various machines and monitors and placing nitroglycerine tablets under my tongue, the doctor looked at me early on and said: "You waited too long to get here, sir." I was petrified. There was no immediate response on my part, only a deep sense of fear entombed by a completely paralyzed inner spirit. Much to my surprise, he spoke again: "Sir, you've waited too long to get here. You're not going to make it." And he continued: "If you believe in God, this is the time to make peace." In that very moment, I said to myself, "What do you mean, 'If you believe in God?' Of course I believe in God! I'm a man of faith and a Catholic priest!""Meet Fr. John:Fr. John Tourangeau, O. Praem., a Norbertine priest who had an afterlife experience following a major heart attack, emphatically states, "Heaven is for real!" Within this enlightening and hope-filled book, Fr. John weaves a powerful and dynamic tapestry of the Kingdom of God at hand through the exploration of Christian tradition, Sacred Scripture, Catholic teaching, as well as his own lived experiences. "While the fullness of heaven cannot be fully experienced in our life here on earth," Father explains, "we are able to more fully experience God's love for us through our relationships with others. For it is in and through these relationships that we draw closer to Christ and his promise for us."

Book Description
Exciting new book by Ivan S Tuttle, depicting the journey between Heaven & Hell after he died and then came back to life. Never has a book been written quite like this one before, it takes you through the journey of his life up until his death, then it takes you through his death experience and back to life. Maybe one in five-hundred billion can every say they have been to both places after dying. He takes you into the pit of hell where people spoke to him. He will describe the sights and smells of hell, why he was there and why hell couldn't keep him. One of the most interesting part of the book is when he goes to heaven and is greeted by an angel of the Lord, what that angel showed him about the future and what he was supposed to do when he was sent back to earth. There were gifts that God bestowed upon him before leaving heaven. He was ordered not to talk about the experience until the Holy Spirit spoke to him to tell him to start telling people about it. All in all you will find this book to be intriguing with some of the twists and turns in his life and what happened after he died. Very few if any can speak about this subject with authority like he has. Sit back and enjoy reading this unique perspective of heaven and hell, once you start, you won't want to put it down!

"From the Bible through Dante and up to Treblinka and Guantánamo Bay, here is a rich source for nightmares." --The New York Times Book Review Three thousand years of visions of Hell, from the ancient Near East to modern America A Penguin Classic From the Hebrew Bible's shadowy realm of Sheol to twenty-first-century visions of Hell on earth, The Penguin Book of Hell takes us through three thousand years of eternal damnation. Along the way, you'll take a ferry ride with Aeneas to Hades, across the river Acheron; meet the Devil as imagined by a twelfth-century Irish monk--a monster with a thousand giant hands; wander the nine circles of Hell in Dante's Inferno, in which gluttons, liars, heretics, murderers, and hypocrites are made to endure crime-appropriate torture; and witness the debates that raged in Victorian England when new scientific advances cast doubt on the idea of an eternal hereafter. Drawing upon religious poetry, epics, theological treatises, stories of miracles, and accounts of saints' lives, this fascinating volume of hellscapes illuminates how Hell has long haunted us, in both life and death. For more than seventy-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Book Description
After traumatic events, many turn away from the Church; this book presents a path home, providing a way back to a God who can be trusted, loved, and worshipped. Today, the church is sometimes viewed (even from within) as a place apart, which may create a barrier of understanding for those who have experienced trauma. Post-Traumatic God grew out of Peters’ own experience as a chaplain in Iraq and later as an Episcopal priest, and from his subsequent work with an organization he founded, Episcopal Veterans for Peace, which helped him identify the need for this quite-different book to bridge that gap. In it, Peters explores three related themes: history (the early church itself was a post-traumatic community); theology (especially building on Tillich's World War I experiences and the theology he subsequently developed); and ecclesiology (how church can offer community to trauma survivors. Post-Traumatic God equips the Church to heal the unseen wounds of the soul.

Book Description
This book explores the parallel and yet profoundly different ways of seeing the outside world and engaging with the foreign at two important moments of dislocation in Chinese history, namely, the early medieval period commonly known as the Northern and Southern Dynasties (317–589 CE), and the nineteenth century. Xiaofei Tian juxtaposes literary, historical, and religious materials from these two periods in comparative study, bringing them together in their unprecedentedly large-scale interactions, and their intense fascination, with foreign cultures. By examining various cultural forms of representation from the two periods, Tian attempts to sort out modes of seeing the world that inform these writings. These modes, Tian argues, were established in early medieval times and resurfaced, in permutations and metamorphoses, in nineteenth-century writings on encountering the Other. This book is for readers who are interested not only in early medieval or nineteenth-century China but also in issues of representation, travel, visualization, and modernity.

Book Description
Over forty years as a missionary travelling through four continents has brought me in contact with many divergent doctrines and often misrepresentations of about the existence, nature, and purpose for Hell. Hell is popularly represented as a place of eternal suffering for anyone sent there. In this journey to hell, unlike in Dante’s trip to the Inferno, I was directed by what the Bible actually says about Hell, and had a very lovely and knowledgeable guide to escort me. I discovered Hell to be vastly different from what I had been led to expect, and came to realize that lot of my preconceived notions about the Devil and the eternal fate of souls sent there are not as fixed as imagined. To my surprise, demons were not confined to a burning lake of fire, in fact no one was, at least not yet.
