Tämä on ainutlaatuinen aika historiassa. Saamme ensikäden tietoa erimaalaisten ja eri uskontoja edustavien ihmisten kokemuksista kuoleman rajalla käymisestä, kun he ovat menehtyneet kliinisesti ja heränneet sitten henkiin joko lääkäreiden taidon tai ihmeen kautta. Jokainen kertomus valaisee meille Jumalan olemusta ja luonnetta. Pastori John Burke on tutkinut yli tuhatta tällaista tapausta kolmenkymmenen vuoden aikana. Hän aloitti tutkimuksensa epäilevänä agnostikkona, kun hänen oma isänsä oli kuolemassa syöpään. Luettuaan silminnäkijöiden todistuksia hän alkoi ajatella: Voisiko tässä olla aitoja todisteita Jumalan olemassaolosta? Melkein jokainen kertomus nimittäin sisältää saman havainnon. Kuoleman rajalla käyneet kohtaavat rakkauden valon, joka kietoo heidät syvään rauhaan ja onnellisuuteen. Ja tuo valo on yksi ja silti kolme persoonaa. Tästä kirjasta saat lukea lähes seitsemänkymmenen ihmisen kuolemanrajakokemuksesta sekä niiden yhteydestä Raamatun ilmoittamaan Jumalaan.

I am deeply concerned about the future of the United States. I believe our leaders have failed to adequately address many of the large problems we have as a country. I believe that as citizens, we are going to have the same leadership options in 2024 that we have had in past elections. We have a low-performance Government; our health-care system is almost twice as expensive as other Western countries and delivers the worst results when compared to those countries; our tax code is overly complicated, favoring the rich over everyone else; and we are $33 trillion in debt with no plan to pay for it. The list of significant issues that our leaders fail to address goes on and on. The United States used to lead the world as an example of good government. Those days are over, but they don't need to be. I am running for President because I think our country needs massive change.If I had similar views to any other candidates, I would not run. If another candidate enters the race with a better plan and better leadership skills than I possess, I will withdraw and support that candidate. My sole concern is the long-term success of the United States.
