The Last Bridge Terry Smith

Most of the human race believes in a life beyond the here-and-now. Religious writings have put such beliefs into words ? often esoteric, mysterious words ? for thousands of years. Among such writings are those which form the Christian Bible: the sixty-six books commonly called the Old and New Testaments.
Strangely, the Bible doesn?t say much about what the life which lies beyond is like ? that is, how it is actually lived. There are excellent reasons why, of course ? chief among them being that while we are living here, we should focus on living this life as God would have us live it.
The Bible insists, however, that we are connected to the life beyond in a cause-and-effect way ? that is, how you live here determines how you live hereafter.
Morover, tantalizing allusions to Heaven are scattered throughout the Bible.
The Last Bridge weaves a tale about a man who actually travels beyond this life and world, experiencing the reality of what the Bible hints at. It is not, however, merely an imaginative travelogue. Our hero is a stubborn agnostic? one who has been deeply wounded by life. What his adventures do to him ? and the events in which he becomes involved ? form an absorbing narrative full of surprises all the way to the final page.
