From the "Twilight" phenomenon to the popular television shows of "Lost" and "Medium" to the blockbuster "90 Minutes in Heaven" book, the fascination with this topic is seemingly endless.

But with so many differing--and even contradictory-- answers and experiences, who and what can people believe really believe as the truth?


Seeing a deeper need in this insatiable appetite for the supernatural, bestselling author and popular apologist Dr. James Garlow helps readers sort out the fact from the fiction in "Heaven and the Afterlife" (Bethany House/Baker Publishing Group; July).

In its pages readers will find amazing first-person stories of supernatural experiences, accounts from the Bible, testimonies, theories, and also what some of the world's religions believe on the subject.
