  If one person told you the story about how they died, experienced the afterlife, and then came back to life, would you believe them? What if thousands of people had similar stories?Research over the past fifty years is finally settling centuries of debate. There's an increasingly credible case that death is a doorway—a case established by the thousands who walked through that door and returned to tell of it. In this captivating investigation, Professor Michael Zigarelli takes you on a step-by-step journey into these breathtaking eyewitness accounts, uncovering seven lines of evidence for life after death, including consistent near-death experience (NDE) reports of the afterlife; corroborated reports where the NDE stories check out as true; the radically transformed lives of those who experienced an NDE; what healthcare workers have observed at the deathbed; and NDE reports from young children and the blind.If you have lost a loved one and wonder whether you might see them again, if you seek assurance that this life is not all there is, or if you're simply curious about the scientific case for the afterlife, Evidence for Heaven offers a compelling, intellectually satisfying answer to one of life's greatest mysteries, What happens after we die?

  What if our memories are like shells we gather on a beach? According to pastor and spiritual director Casey Tygrett, "We—and all those who have come before us—pick up the experience and we sense it: we feel its edges, notice its color, we smell the distinctive character (for shells it is the sickly seafood salt smell) of the experience, and we try to make sense of what it is. Is it beautiful? How would you describe the color—the tones, the shades, wrapped around the ridges and swirls? Has it been damaged? Does the hard edge scrape our hand, leaving a blemish or a mark?" How we hold and carry these memories—good and bad—is a part of what forms us spiritually. In this way we have a common bond with the people of Scripture who also had a sensory life, gathering shells and trying to make sense of them. Previously titled As I Recall, Casey Tygrett's writing in The Practice of Remembering explores the power of memory and offers biblical texts and practices to guide us in bringing our memories to God for spiritual transformation.

  Christmas Stories From...

  Twenty stories were originally published in the Christmas editions of the magazines “Household Words” and “All The Year Round”. Some of the stories have little holiday sentiment and exhibit much of the indignation Dickens felt at the social and economic injustices of his day. Some of the stories were written in collaboration with other authors. The editor of this volume chose to omit those other chapters and include only Dickens' work. The result is that some of the stories are a bit choppy, not to say confusing.

  In a world experiencing turbulent change, we need people who are resilient, kind, open, generous, and brave. How do we become those people? 
   
   
   
  In Fully Alive, popular podcaster Elizabeth Oldfield uses the seven deadly sins as a framework to explore questions such as: 
   
   
   
  ● How can I move from sloth to attention in order to make the most of my short life and stop getting distracted by trivialities? 
   
   
   
  ● Is it possible to move from wrath to peacemaking? How do I become a depolarizing person in an age of outrage, tribalism, and division? 
   
   
   
  ● What might it look like to move from gluttony to awe, finding transcendence in expansive, life-giving ways—not in a tub of ice cream or a bottle of wine? 
   
   
   
  ● How can I move from pride to connection, overcoming the disconnection that keeps me from intimacy, community, and ultimately the divine? 
   
   
   
  Oldfield shows why, in a world heavy on judgment, she still finds the concept of sin liberating—and how, to her surprise, she keeps finding in her Christian faith ways to feel fully alive. Deeply serious yet amusingly relatable, this book helps us develop spiritual strength for when things fall apart.
