Death is not the end of our existence--just a change in our being. It is something that has been partially experienced and thoroughly documented by many individuals around the world. In this inspiring look at near-death experiences, authors Brent and Wendy Top illustrate how numerous recorded accounts of near-death experiences relate to Latter-day Saint teachings. More than just a collection of interesting near-death stories, this book is rich with scripture as well as commentary from Latter-day prophets, creating a doctrinal lens through which to view the near-death events shared by various people from differing cultural and religious backgrounds. From the amazing characteristics of our spirit bodies to the incredible love and learning that will take place, you’ll find encouragement and peace regarding that next step we will all eventually take, which is, in reality, the beginning of a beautiful new phase of life. You will be fascinated with reports from those who have seen the other side of the veil: a “being of light” who greeted them in the spirit world; a sense of having a perfect, vitalized spirit body; the rapid, graphic review of one’s mortal life; meeting with loved ones; communication by thought transference; spirits in radiant white robes; travel at phenomenal speeds; expanded comprehension and memory powers; gorgeous scenery and vegetation; and an all-encompassing, overwhelming light and love. While emphasizing how we must critically examine these accounts, the authors say, “We were amazed at the similarities and consistencies between near-death accounts and the doctrines of the restored gospel.” God lives and loves each and every one of us, and what is waiting for us is inexpressibly amazing and wonderful.

You would think that having a famous adventurer for a dad would make your life a little easier. But for Wesley Mackey, his father's fame seems to only make the eighthgrader a giant target. The school bully's torments never end. So, in a flash of inspiration, or perhaps desperation, Wesley courageously takes matters into his own hands-and promptly gets kicked out of school. Then things really spiral out of control. Soon Wesley finds that managing a bully is nothing compared to handling kidnappers, wild animals, and a woman who wants him to call her Mom. Now it seems his fate will be determined by the actions of his seemingly geeky new tutor and his family and friends. You won't be disappointed when you join Wesley Mackey and his new family on a thrilling and original adventure that will keep you racing through the pages of Widow's Revenge.
