Pocket Guide to the Afterlife: Heaven, Hell, and Other Ultimate Destinations (Pocket Guides)

—Dean Nelson, author, God Hides in Plain Sight, and director, Writer's Symposium by the Sea at Point Loma

Where do we go when we die? Will we have personal chats with God on fluffy clouds? What are the odds I will be devoured by a demon? Life's deepest mysteries question what happens when life is over.

With Pocket Guide to the Afterlife, Jason Boyett becomes your tour guide to the Great Beyond. From the profound to the profane, from the light at the end of the tunnel to your ascension to the celestial void, here's everything you need to know this side of the everlasting Unknown, including

• What to expect upon arrival in destinations like Heaven, Purgatory, and the Chinvat Bridge

• Whether your understanding of the Christian Hell comes from the Bible or from an Italian poet

• Which dream scenarios you'll want to avoid because they predict your impending demise

• Why defibrillators are so important when it comes to having near-death experiences

Pondering your eventual demise has never been so much fun.

A concise and often humor-filled guide to the afterlife–the interesting, unknown, unusual, apocalyptic, and the downright strange.
