Heaven and Beyond — Michael Phillips

The author of The Garden at the Edge of Beyond continues his Christian fantasy saga as a tragedy on Earth sends a man on a journey through eternity.

The man started his Easter Sunday at sunrise, as he did every year. Amidst the beauty of God's creation, there was no indication that the day's events were about to change his life forever . . . literally.

When a terrorist attack takes his life, those left behind on Earth mourn the loss of a good man taken too soon. But in truth, the man's life continues on, with new horizons opening up before him. As the man travels through the realms of heaven and earth, he finds his notions of both to be turned upside down.

“Phillips has offered a breathtaking and important addition to the world of traditional theological allegory, joining Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress and C.S. Lewis' Pilgrim's Regress . . . It is beautiful beyond describing and stunning in its impact.”  -- William Paul Young, author of The Shack
