Life everlasting

by Duane S. Crowther

Book Overview

Life Everlasting is a fascinating examination of man's future life from the time of death until his entry into the heavenly realms. The book reaches beyond the commonplace to give profound new insights into the nature of the life to come. This book examines eyewitness accounts of more than 200 individuals who have ventured into the spirit world and have then returned to tell of their experiences. It also draws extensively from the scriptures and from the discourses of Latter-day Saint leaders. As the evidence of these accounts is analyzed, numerous new understandings are revealed to the reader. Within these pages are vivid descriptions of spirit-world conditions including buildings, landscaping, wearing apparel, organization, occupations, and Church callings. Many instructive descriptions of the amazing capabilities of spirit beings are provided. Of special interest are the vivid descriptions of Jesus Christ as He has appeared to many who have entered into Paradise. The numerous roles of spirit beings who visit the earth, as Gardian Angels and in other capacities, are described in detail. The factors which govern man's time of death are discussed, and the nature of man's "new birth" into the next life is described in detail by those who have experienced it. Life Everlasting peers into the spirit prison and hell and reports conditions in those environments. Then it sweeps forward in time to analyze the nature of the resurrections and final judgment. A careful consideration of the final rewards available to man is made, with detailed and spcific coverage of the fate of the sons of perdition and the destinies of the inhabitants of the telestial, terrestrial and celestial kingdoms. The final chapter is a penetrating explanation of the nature of godhood and exaltation. Few books have ever combined such a wealth of now concepts and interesting information with the careful presentation, documentation and scholarship of Life Everlasting. Latter-day Saints will find strong evidences which confirm their beliefs in the afterlife. Others, no matter what their religious oriention, will find Life Everlasting to be one of the most far-reaching, comprehensive presentations of life-after-death experiences in print. It is inevitable that this book will continue to be widely read and discussed for many years to come.

Life everlasting

I know that the experiences written about in this book are real and true. I know from losing a daughter, and her experiences before passing, that the descriptions of the other side of the veil are real and true. I know that our Father in heaven wants all of his children to return to Him and He will give us ample opportunities to choose to do so. This book helped my wife and other children understand more fully the afterlife and eternal salvation. A most excellent book.

Great Book

Reading it made me want to improve my life and be a better person. Great Book!

What is Heaven really, actually like?

This makes heaven palpable, real place. He pulls it all together so well. I know this is true and it is harmonious with the scriptures. I need to read it again.

phenomenal and fascinating

quite a phenomenal book, and i would easily say that it's one of the most powerful books that i have ever read. forced to deal with the death of his own child, crowther uses people's very personal, spiritual experiences to illustrate theories of life after death. easy to read, but very, very deep.

I loved this book

In this well researched book, many questions to scripture that I have had for along time were answered. I just wish I had found it sooner! I enjoyed the text and the footnotes alike. I found it very readable and compelling in both question and argument. I believe it would be of tremendous comfort to those in need of answers to "life after death" questions, and as well as the eternal "why are we here" question. I was greatful that a friend recommended it to me. Although this book is written from an LDS point of view, I think it would be of benefit to anyone interested in the subject.
