Millions of people across six continents have reported a personal near death experience. Do these accounts prove the existence of a loving God? John Burke was an engineer and an agnostic. As his dad was dying of cancer someone gifted his family with Raymond Moody's book "Life After Life." John read it in one sitting at his father's bedside. It sparked the thought, "Could this be real? Could there be an after life? A God?" This led him to read the Bible, where he found undeniable evidence in the scriptures and Bible prophecy about the existence of a real and loving God. He left his career to become a pastor and dedicated his life to ministry. Over the last 35 plus years John has grown in his faith and also studied over 1,000 near death experiences. His award winning book Imagine Heaven was written in hopes of highlighting scripture that is correlating to what experiencers collectively and around the globe are reporting in their testimonies. Imagine Heaven is now available in over 22 languages and the global response to it has been more than John could have ever anticipated. God has led him to write a new book, but this time John is writing about what these experiences, when evaluated through the lens of scripture, say about GOD. In this interview John shares:

• What led him from agnosticism to the Bible, Jesus, faith and ministry
• The overwhelming response to his book Imagine Heaven and God's call to write Imagine the God of Heaven
• A note around discernment as we listen to near death testimonies and anchoring our theology in scripture
• A Hindu man's experience with heaven, hell, a narrow gate, and his conversion to Christianity
• Three of the ten points of evidence for life after death
• How we reconcile different reports of Jesus's eye color and appearance
• Reports of experiencers SEEING prayers in heaven and realizing the power of our prayers
• A beautiful account of a former agnostic who dies and encounters Jesus and experiences a joy he has never known
• His hope for every reader (per my closing note)
