Sunday School : The Case For Heaven
What happens after we die? Is there any convincing evidence that we live on in eternity? And if so, what will our experience be like? In Lee Strobel’s recent book The Case for Heaven he applies his research and analytical skills to show us definitive evidence for the existence of heaven. Strobel offers compelling answers for questions such as:
● How can we know there is an afterlife?
● Will heaven be boring?
● Does God really send people to hell?
● Will we have the same bodies and personalities after we die?
● What does it mean to see God face to face?
These are questions many of us have asked.
