There really are people that have experienced what is on the other side of death, and some of them have actually had personal encounters with the Lord Jesus Christ. In the legal world, eyewitness testimony is one of the most powerful forms of evidence, and over the years I have spent a good deal of time researching eyewitnesses from all over the planet that have literally been to heaven and have come back to tell us about it.

Hell
Why Do So Many Preachers In America Refuse To Talk About Hell?
When was the last time you heard a sermon about hell? Just think about that for a moment.

With each passing day our cities degenerate just a little bit more, and life in many of our worst communities truly has become a living hell. Sadly, this comes at a time when the United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world by far.
