A BEAUTIFUL LIFE IN HEAVEN


Book Description

Every believer who is still upright in nature must hope for Heaven and fear Hell. This is part of his faith in God. The verses of the Quran that are the guide of his life contain many of these motivators. The world and the hereafter can hardly be compared; the pleasures of Heaven are far greater than the pleasures of the world. A small comparison between life in Heaven and on earth, the head covering of a woman in Heaven, is far better than the world and all its contents. Going for jihad for the sake of Allah in the morning or in the afternoon is better than the world and all its contents. And that which is the size of an arrow (in Heaven) or the size of a place to place its feet in Heaven, is better than the world and all its contents. If a woman of Heaven appeared on earth, her rays would illuminate the sky and earth. The scent of her fragrance will be smelled between sky and earth. And really, the veil worn by women of heaven is better than the world and everything in it (Hadith reported by al-Bukhari) This book contains descriptions about al-Jannah (Heaven) based on Quran and hadith.

A graduate of George Washington University with a BBS in International Business, Robert works in the defense industry as a leading expert in Government contracting as well as teaching and mentoring start-up companies. He and his wife live in the DC Metro area and have six children and fourteen grandchildren. Robert has a heart to share how simple God has made it to get to Heaven.

The Devil's Redemption : 2 volumes


Book Description

Will all evil finally turn to good, or does some evil remain stubbornly opposed to God and God's goodness? Will even the devil be redeemed? Addressing a theological issue of perennial interest, this comprehensive book (in two volumes) surveys the history of Christian universalism from the second to the twenty-first century and offers an interpretation of how and why universalist belief arose. The author explores what the church has taught about universal salvation and hell and critiques universalism from a biblical, philosophical, and theological standpoint. He shows that the effort to extend grace to everyone undermines the principle of grace for anyone.
