I can’t remember the first time I wondered what happens after we die, but I am sure it was sometime after my grandpa passed away. I was 8 years old and his passing was the first death I remember. I don’t think I was wondering about God or Heaven at that point but more of a “so what happens when you die?” I don’t even think or remember asking my mom any questions. All I remember is seeing him three days before and him giving me a big hug. I was also baffled, he was young – 49 years old – and he didn’t look sick to me. I was sort of confused.
As years went by, it was not until the death of my step-grandfather that I stopped and wondered “What happens after we die?” and “What is the purpose of life?” I was 21 years old and even though I had been to church a few times, I didn’t really know much about God and Heaven. It was around this time that a friend of mine had been going to church and invited me. I knew that I was to go, I could feel it. It’s now been 20 years since I accepted Jesus as my Savior and have been living my life for Him.
Being a Christian and reading the Bible, we have a small sense of what happens when we die. We read about the streets of gold and the crystal seas. We know that there is no pain or sorrow in Heaven. But we also know there is Hell, a place of discomfort and terror. After Death addresses both of these with accounts from different individuals who have had Near Death Experiences (NDE’s).
About The Movie
After Death is a gripping feature film that explores what happens after we die, based on real near-death experiences, conveyed by scientists, authors, and survivors. From the New York Times bestselling authors who brought you titles like 90 Minutes in Heaven, Imagine Heaven, and To Heaven and Back, emerges a cinematic peek beyond the veil that examines the spiritual and scientific dimensions of mortality, inviting us to wonder: Is there life after death?
This film features interviews with New York Times bestselling authors, doctors, scientists, and near-death survivors including Don Piper (90 Minutes In Heaven), Dr. Mary Neal (To Heaven and Back), John Burke (Imagine Heaven), Dr. Jeffrey Long (Evidence of the Afterlife), and Dr. Raymond Moody (Life After Life). John Burke was a skeptic before he first read about near-death experiences. Now, after researching near-death experiences for over 30 years and interviewing countless people who have gone beyond the veil and back, John is a pastor and an international speaker. Hear more from him in the film After Death, which comes to theaters on October 27.
My Thoughts
I’ve heard of Don Piper’s story but I never read it or watched the film. I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this film and if I was going to like it. As I stated before as a Christian, I know and believe what the Bible tells me about Heaven and Hell. I have never needed to hear from people experiences about Heaven or Hell because I believe the word of God. However, I know there are people that need to hear about real life experiences. This film does a great job of showing different accounts and bringing the viewer along with vivid explanation.
I like how this film didn’t focus on just one story or one angle. Instead there are multiple accounts and even though we all want to hear about the beauty of death, which is heaven, we know there is also a dark side of death. If you are questioning whether there is a heaven and hell, this movie can help answer that question or at least get you to want more answers. If you like research, this movie talks to a doctor who did this very thing.
