In August, my pastor’s 19-year old son, Josiah, went to Heaven after a sudden car accident.

The pain that my pastor and his family felt was almost tangible and unlike anything I’d ever witnessed.  My initial response, along with many others in the congregation, was to mourn… almost as those with no hope, though we “knew” better.  But during that time, the Lord began revealing unshakeable truths to my pastor and his wife about the realities of life on Earth, life in Heaven, and the relationship between the two.

The culmination of that revelation has just been released in the form of a book– Have Heart: Bridging the Gulf Between Heaven and Earth.

I believe that the concepts discussed in this book– very much written as a story depicting the journey that my pastor and his wife have been on for the past 10 months– will be mind-blowing and life-changing.  I URGE you to read it, whether you’re currently coping with the transition of a loved one’s life, or if you ever think you might have to (and you will).

To be clear– I’m not endorsing this book because I love its authors, Pastor Steve and Sarah Berger (though I do, very much so).  Nor am I endorsing it because I want you guys to know how awesome my church is (though it is, very much so).

I’m endorsing it because, in less than a year, God has revolutionized my thinking about our natural lives and our eternal lives through this teaching.  I have been the beneficiary of this Truth, and I’m desperately excited for everyone I know to be exposed to it as well.  There is hope and healing in the pages of this book.

Not a dime of the sale proceeds will ever go into the Bergers’ pockets– it’s all going toward the continued building and support of Josiah’s House, a boys’ orphanage in the Dominican Republic.
