Most Americans believe that an afterlife exists, but unfortunately mainstream religions teach a generic faith-based view of it and mainstream science ignores the topic altogether. So people are hungry for concrete facts about the afterlife, and afterlife-related books are perennial best-sellers. Just this year, HarperOne published
Evidence of the Afterlife: The Science of Near-Death Experiences by Jeffrey Long and Paul Perry, and Harper Collins published
Heaven: Our Enduring Fascination With the Afterlife by Lisa Miller, both to much acclaim. But neither book answers the basic questions: Where is heaven? What is it like? and How does it feel to die? Nor do any of the many books about the afterlife answer three more basic questions: How is a solid afterlife possible? Who will make it there and who won't? and What are the rules that we must follow to have the best chance of getting there?
The Fun of Dying offers detailed answers to all these questions and more in an easily read hundred pages. It also presents two study guides one brief, and one much more detailed so readers can follow the author in learning these eternal truths. It turns out that for most of us, death is the best time of our lives!
If you wonder whether death ends life, how it feels to die, or what heaven might be like, this book is for you. If you worry about a lost loved one or fret about the death of a pet, all the answers to your questions are here. And if you are afraid of death, if you worry that your life has no meaning, or if you have given up on religions, then let this book ease some of your fears while it brings new meaning to your life.
Nothing in The Fun of Dying is based on the teachings of any religion. Instead, it draws on more than a century s worth of evidence to explain how dying feels, how it happens, and most importantly what comes next. Accounts of near-death experiences are just a small part of the afterlife evidence! A lot of the best death-related evidence was produced in the first half of the 20th century, and it has been ignored ever since by mainstream science and mainstream religions. When it is put together with more recent discoveries, it tells a consistent and amazing story.
The Fun of Dying is a complete account of how dying feels and what comes next. Read it, learn the truth, and apply its lessons so you can enjoy your best life forevermore.
Roberta Grimes is a business attorney, the author of two novels, and a mother and grandmother. Two experiences of light early in her life prompted her to spend decades studying afterlife-related evidence, and The Fun of Dying is the result. Much of the best afterlife evidence was developed before 1950, and it has been ignored ever since by mainstream science and mainstream religions. Grimes found that the more she studied the evidence, the more it felt like reading hundreds of accounts by a century s worth of travelers to Fiji. They had widely differing experiences, true, but clearly they were all describing the same complex and fascinating place. The afterlife that Grimes discovered was so consistent and sensible that she thought there had to be a scientific basis for it. Once her picture of the afterlife was complete, she then ventured into quantum physics and consciousness studies in an effort to answer two questions that troubled her: How is it possible for multiple solid levels of reality to exist in the same place? And how it is possible for our minds to survive the death of our brains? This dabbling in death-related science further confirmed for her the validity of the afterlife realities described in such rich detail in 150 years of afterlife evidence. Grimes majored in religion at Smith College so she is familiar with the Bible, and returning to the Gospels gave her the final confirmation she needed to write this book. Having first worked out in detail what the afterlife is like, Grimes realized that the Jesus of the Gospels had told us all of this, and in fact he told us things about reality and the afterlife that we could not have confirmed until the 20th century. When science and Jesus both agree with the evidence, surely that evidence must be right! The Fun of Dying is the first book of a trilogy. Grimes plans to publish The Fun of Staying in Touch How Our Loved Ones Contact Us and How We Can Contact Them in March of 2012. The Fun of Growing Forever How to Make the Best Eternal Progress will follow in September of 2013.
