He's Studied 1,000+ Near-Death Experiences and Says This Is Why He Believes They Prove the Bible. ACU Sunday Series.

John Burke, a pastor and author who has studied and examined over 1,000 accounts of near-death experiences, believes these reports provide faith-building evidence of God and the Bible. Burke, author of the new book "Imagine the God of Heaven: Near-Death Experiences, God’s Revelation, and the Love You’ve Always Wanted," told CBN Digital why he believes these experiences corroborate Scripture and detailed what a near-death experience entails. "It's when someone clinically dies ... their heart stops, they have no brain waves," Burke said. "And yet either modern medicine or miracle brings them back ... minutes later, sometimes it's hours." He continued, "And when they come back, they talk about experiencing the life to come, and they talk about how it's more real than anything they've ever experienced in this world." Burke said his latest book looks at scores of interviews with people from all over the world who've had these clinical near-death experiences. "They are seeing and experiencing the God of Scripture," he said. "And we're looking, not only at His love story told throughout history in the Bible, but also his heart and characteristics, the mystery, the majesty of God." Burke, though, knows not everyone believes these heaven visitation stories, and explained exactly why he thinks there's so much skepticism. He said one factor is a failure to understand that "these are testimonies" that shed light on God's nature. Another is the complexities that come from trying to describe other-worldly experiences using human language. Watch him explain.

Millions of people around the world have reported a near-death experience. Do they prove the existence of a loving God?

Never in history, until now, have we been able to hear from so many people around the world who have been brought back from clinical death. Modern medical resuscitation and digital communication have revealed a goldmine of intriguing near-death experiences (NDEs) that show us the character of God. John Burke has spent the last three decades studying the commonalities of more than 1000 NDEs. His investigative journey started as a skeptical agnostic, when his own father was dying from cancer. When he first read these eyewitness accounts, he couldn’t help asking himself: “Could this be real evidence—even possible proof of God’s existence?”

• In this book, you will discover:
• Analysis of 1000+ near-death experiences and how they reveal the wondrous attributes of God and correlate with the Bible
• Follow up research to Burke’s exploration of the afterlife, Imagine Heaven, a New York Times best-seller of over 1 million copies
• True stories from nearly 70 people from every continent who have died, been resuscitated, and now testify to having been more alive than ever in the presence of a loving God they never wanted to leave
• People of all ethnicities and backgrounds―including doctors, engineers, and CEO―experience the same God.

John Burke unveils the love story and characteristics of this God of all nations, revealed throughout history and in Scripture, now illustrated by these thrilling encounters. You will realize God’s love, power, compassion, friendship, and guidance are closer than you could ever imagine. And for such a time as this, people need to know a loving God is within their reach.
