He's with us today discussing his book One Minute After You Die, a title with more than 700,000 copies in print.As we start the New Year, many of us look for new beginnings, new opportunities, and new resolutions. We think of vibrancy and all that we want to get accomplished during the year. Very few enter a new year thinking about death. Yet, death comes to all. It is critically important that we understand that death is not the end.As our guest today has written, "For some, death is the beginning of unending bliss. For others, it will be unending despair. Either you will be enjoying a personal welcome from Christ or you will be catching your first glimpse of gloom as you have never known it. One minute after you die, you will either be elated or terrified. And it will be too late to reroute your travel plans. Your future will be irrevocably fixed and eternally unchangeable." What can we expect one minute after we die?As we begin this New Year of 2025, it is critical for each of us to consider our own eternal destiny and to be a witness to others who also must come to this realization.
