Is it possible to be one hundred percent certain of what awaits you in the hereafter? It’s an important question.

This book has been written for the benefit of those of you who are uncertain about the existence of God or don’t presently have a personal relationship with God. Maybe, like millions of others, you simply have the feeling that ‘something’s missing’.

Perhaps you were raised in a specific religion but are now questioning the trustworthiness of the teachings you received.

Maybe you have been influenced by atheistic professors at your college or university who suggest it is irrational that there should be any kind of a Supreme Being.


Maybe you were brought up as a Muslim, Sikh or Hindu and you have seen or experienced extreme violence and oppression from your leaders that seems completely contrary to the tenets of your faith.

Some readers might have felt subjugated by a cult, led by a charismatic figure who seemed to have complete control over their lives.


Possibly you have been going to church all your life, christened (baptized) as a child, but still have doubts?

You might be one of those who have been brought up in the Christian faith, hurt by the Church and found some Christians to be downright hypocritical—or worse—causing you to turn your back on God.


Do any of these scenarios strike a chord? The question must be asked, do any of them mean you can’’t be different and have a meaningful, intimate relationship with God?


Whether you are Hindu, Jew, Jehovah’s Witness, Christian (Protestant, Orthodox, Coptic or Catholic), Mormon, Sikh, Muslim (any of the seven sects), Buddhist, Baháʼí, Shinto, Unitarian, New Age, Atheist (or agnostic), or any other faith, it is my hope that this book will provide you with a path of reason and logical understanding so that you can find true inner peace and have absolute confidence of what lies ahead—something to actually look forward to—without anxiety!


The purpose of this book is to provide readers with a starting point to explore 'life's big questions.' It aims to guide them on a reasoned and logical journey towards conclusive answers.
