Window To Eternity
By Bruce Henderson
Is there life after death, and if so, what will become of me? Questions of life after death are addressed by the author's description of Swedenborg's findings in easily readable, contemporary language. "The other life" emerges as the life we have already begun - this book is not simply about the future, but about the present.
A Book About Dying
By Robert H. Kirven
Composed at a time when Robert H. Kirven was coping with the terminal illness of his wife, A Book about Dying affirms that the universal fear of death is eased by knowing what comes after. Using the unique Swedenborgian perspective of the afterlife and his own hard-earned knowledge of the day-to-day realities of caring for a loved one, Kirven writes of the spiritual experiences of the dying and of the survivors; offers practical advice on measures that can lessen the burden on the sick and the caregiver; and convincingly asserts that "for patient and survivor alike, living really does continue after dying."

Conversations with Angels
By Emanuel Swedenborg
This remarkable declaration by Emanuel Swedenborg eighteenth century scientist, statesman, and visionary--sets the stage for the collection of the angelic encounters. Throughout the final twenty-seven years of his life, Swedenborg explored the realms of heaven and hell and spoke with angels about the nature of life after death, discussed with newly arrived spirits their misconceptions about the afterlife, and debated with devils or spirits from hell. As an Enlightenment scholar, Swedenborg recorded these encounters, attesting to God`s will that humanity might know the truth of eternal life.
