One of my favorite Christian fiction writers, Ted Dekker, has issued this call to Christians, urging us to rouse ourselves from our sleep and rediscover our primary hope. It is his objective to rekindle our desire for the exotic and joyful everlasting inheritance that God has arranged for those of us who will inherit his kingdom on Earth.

Mitch Albom's book may not appeal to all Christians at first. Despite the fact that the book does not concentrate on biblical authenticity, its readers must accept this reality. When it comes to the afterlife, though, Albom has produced a unique story to help us reassess our existence on this planet. There is so much more to life than what we can see, but we tend to focus only on what we can see.

It's not a book on Heaven that focuses on the afterlife as described by a certain faith in Life After Death. When it comes to making the argument that human lives continue beyond death, author Deepak Chopra relies on both ancient teachings and current scientific evidence.

The Afterlife of Billy Fingers: How My Bad-Boy Brother Proved to Me There's Life After Death by Annie Kagan

Billy Fingers' Afterlife isn't only about Heaven in this novel. It deals with a wide range of death-related issues.

Several weeks after his death, Annie Kagan, the book's author, claims that her brother started interacting with her from the other side. It's not the first time someone has told a story like this, but Kagan's is the most comprehensive I've seen.

This has given Kagan a better understanding of death, life's significance and what it's like to be in Heaven, she says.

One Minute After You Die: A Preview of Your Final Destination by Erwin W. Lutzer

Even those who believe in a hereafter are afraid of dying. Because they don't know what to expect after death, they're apprehensive about what it could be like.

Author Erwin W. Lutzer's One Minute After You Die is a good fit for those who have this anxiety. A "step-by-step" description of what may happen immediately after your death is provided, based on Jesus' teachings and biblical study in this book.

What Dreams May Come by Richard Matheson

In spite of the fact that What Dreams May Come is a work of fiction, author Richard Matheson portrays a distinct fantasy vision of the hereafter that borrows from several theological and spiritual belief systems. In 1998, Robin Williams starred in a film version of the book that brought it back into the public eye after a period of relative obscurity.

It's worth noting, however, that the book's overarching message is one of comfort, that a significant portion of the plot includes a voyage to Hell. Some readers may find these chapters disturbing if they were anticipating a novel about a pleasant afterlife.
