PP, you have asked a tremendously valid question. It is impossible to say that, one can find any proof of heaven after just reading this book, nevertheless, it's a brilliant book to read.
Sceptics are accusing the author Dr Eden Alexander of writing his experience while he was in a medically induced coma and his comatose state was not due to E.Coli septicaemia as the author purports.
They go further by asking him to change the title of his book from "Proof of heaven" to "Proof of Hallucination".

Thanks for your post. I am going to find and read this book. I admit to being very curious about heaven.

My favorite books are

1. World History.

Helped me to understand the history of human kind from ancient Egyptian and Sumerian civilization up to date.

2. Human anatomy and physiology by Elaine Marietab.

Just to get key concepts about human anatomy and physiology.

Ila sijawahi kusoma kitabu nikakimaliza.Mara nyingi huwa naishia nusu au robo tatu ya kitabu.

Who do you think was the beloved disciple Nowonmai?

"Christ loved her more than all the disciples and used to kiss her on the..." Dan brown~~ The Da' Vinci Code. The whole premise of the book is that Jesus was a family man and the beloved disciple was Mary, not John. Because if it was John that means Jesus was a gay.

But most important thing to remember it is a work of fiction. It's not historical accurate at all. The Da'vinci code contains a lot of blatant lies. I think it's fine if you are just reading it for fun.

According to The Bible, the book of John 21:20-25 ,The beloved disciple was the author of the book (John). I've attached the picture from my Swahili Bible.

Paula, may I call you Paula?
From all accounts Jesus led a vagabond life, at least during his ministry days. I cannot see how He could be a family man.
Also according to the customs of the time, a master(teacher) lived with his students most of the time whether indoor or not. In other words the students(disciples) always followed their teacher. Besides, women were definitely not allowed the privelege of being students. So I don’t see how The Lord Jesus could make family with Mary. The question of Mary being among the disciples would have been a huge scandal enough to earn Him an earlier crucifixion! But wait. Could Mary have masquaraded as a man for those three years of Jesus’ ministry? I doubt it. That was not such a sophiscated world back then and Jesus’ persecutors(the Pharesees,Sadducees, lawyers and scribes were always sniffing after Him.
But of course I agree with you that this is a work of the imagination. And a good one too. Talking about Jesus being a gay I have read about Brown been one too. If this is true than don’t you think he would play this card very much to his advantage? Making the man with the most popular following in the world his kin in sexuality?
However the question that beg our answer is, was Jesus tempted to practice erotic love?Because that would imply that He was corruptible after all and not the model of God’s devine love(agape) which is how He is potrayed in the Holy Book.
Thanks for being with me in this discussion Paula. I am not much into literature. Just an amateur who likes to read. Help me along whenever you can. There is so much in the world of books! Cheers

I lost my mom 3yrs ago, it was pretty shattering and numbing. My friend recommended this book to me, "The Reptile Room" by Lemony Snicket. This is children's series of unfortunate event but I read them as an adult and helped me a ton.
At first I didn't want to accept that my mom is gone even after her funeral, but this quote helped me out to accept the reality,

"It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know."

This quote from the book also helped me when I thought I'd never be happy without her by my side and how to cope without her.

"I think we'll always miss our parents. But I think we can miss them without being miserable all the time. After all, they wouldn't want us to be miserable."

Since then, I hate to express my sadness, I would rather smile and show that everything is okay even if I feel depressed. I don't want my mom to worry about me because I know all she wants is for me to be happy.

This book has became the best book to me, followed by A grief observed by Lewis and Love, Aubrey by Suzzane Lafleur.

I am sorry. I hope you are doing okay.
I wish you all the strength and love it takes to manage such a loss.
Snicket in general seems to do a wonderful job expressing grief, sorrow and loss.

Bill Gates made many predictions in this book, most of which come true.
He believed back then that
"All manner of human activity will take place on the network.....and many transactions will involve money, tendered in digital form rather than currency. Digital information of all kinds, not just as money, will be the medium of exchange in this market.''

He had ideas about digital currency back in 1995. Such prophecy.

I listened to the audio book of his own voice. It's really a fantastic book and his voice and accent add a lot to it. I liked the Hitler story.
 
I just finished "East of Eden" due to a curiosity raised by this thread to read this old classic I had on my "to read" list.

Such a wonderful kaleidoscope of cast of characters and circumstances, woven together with verve and panache by a masterful turn of phrase and plenty of brilliant quotable quotes.

I would really like to read Steinbeck's book of essays.
