Life Everlasting is a fascinating examination of man’s future life from the time of death until his entry into the heavenly kingdom. The book reaches beyond the commonplace to give new insights into the nature of the life to come.
This book draws extensively from the scriptures and from the discourse of Latter-day Saints leaders. It examines eyewitness accounts of scores of individuals who have ventured into the spirit world and have then returned to tell of their experiences. As the new evidence of these accounts is analyzed, a host of new ideas and understandings are revealed to the reader. Within these pages are numerous descriptions of spirit world conditions including buildings, landscaping, wearing apparel factors which govern man’s time of death are discussed, and the nature of man’s “new birth” into the next life is described by those who have experienced it.
Life Everlasting peers into the spirit prison and hell and reports the conditions and activities there. Then it sweeps forward in time to analyze the nature of the resurrections and final judgment. A careful consideration of the final rewards available to man is made, with detailed and specific coverage of the sons of perdition and the inhabitants of the telestial, terrestrial and celestial kingdoms. The final chapter is a penetrating explanation of the nature of godhood and exaltation.
Few books within the Church have ever combined such a wealth of new concepts and interesting information with careful presentation and scholarship of Life Everlasting. It is inevitable that this book will be widely read and discussed throughout the Church for many years to come.
