Millones de personas alrededor del mundo han reportado experiencias cercanas a la muerte. ¿Prueban tales descripciones la existencia de un Dios amoroso? Jamás en la historia habíamos tenido acceso a tantas historias de personas alrededor del mundo que han sobrevivido la muerte clínica. La resucitación médica moderna y la comunicación digital han revelado una mina de oro de intrigantes experiencias cercanas a la muerte (ECM). Por tres décadas, John Burke se ha dedicado a estudiar qué tienen en común más de mil ECM. Él comenzó su investigación como un agnóstico escéptico cuando su propio padre estaba muriendo de cáncer. Al leer por primera vez estas anécdotas de testigos oculares, no pudo evitar preguntarse: «¿Podría ser evidencia real—incluso prueba—de la existencia de Dios?». En este libro, se presentan las historias de más de setenta personas que provienen de cada continente y han muerto, resucitado y afirmado estar más vivas que nunca en la presencia de un Dios amoroso que no querían dejar atrás jamás. Gente de toda etnicidad, transfondo de fe y profesión —incluyendo doctores, ingenieros y jefes ejecutivos—experimenta al mismo Dios. John Burke revela la historia de amor y las características de este Dios de todas las naciones, revelado a lo largo de las Escrituras, quien ahora es ilustrado por estos emocionantes encuentros. Te darás cuenta de que el amor, el poder, la compasión, la amistad y la guía de Dios están más cerca de lo que te podrías imaginar. Y para un momento como este, las personas necesitan saber que un Dios amoroso está a su alcance. Millions of people around the world have reported a near-death experience. Do these accounts prove the existence of a loving God? Never in history, until now, have we been able to hear from so many people around the world who have been brought back from clinical death. Modern medical resuscitation and digital communication have revealed a gold mine of intriguing near-death experiences (NDEs). John Burke has spent the last three decades studying the commonalities of more than one thousand NDEs. He started his investigative journey as a skeptical agnostic when his own father was dying from cancer. After he first read these eyewitness accounts, he couldn''t help asking himself: "Could this be real evidence—even possible proof—of God''s existence?" In this book, you will hear from nearly seventy people from every continent who have died, resuscitated, and claimed to be more alive than ever in the presence of a loving God they never wanted to leave. People of all ethnicities, faith backgrounds, and professions—including doctors, engineers, and CEOs—experience the same God. John Burke unveils the love story and characteristics of this God of all nations, revealed throughout history in Scripture, now illustrated by these thrilling encounters. You will realize that God''s love, power, compassion, friendship, and guidance are closer than you could ever imagine. And for such a time as this, people need to know that a loving God is within their reach.

O que têm em comum um budista, um casal de motoqueiros, um ativista dos direitos homossexuais, um nômade, um engenheiro, um muçulmano, uma jovem mãe solteira, um judeu, um casal que vive junto sem ser casado e um ateu? Escrito para pastores, líderes e todos os interessados em ampliar o impacto exercido pela Igreja, ''''Proibida a entrada de pessoas perfeitas'''' mostra como criar a cultura do tipo "venha como você está", auxiliando na difícil tarefa de construir uma ponte sobre o abismo existente entre a igreja e o mundo pósmoderno. Atual e relevante, esta obra essencial apresenta caminhos para derrubar as barreiras que afastam as novas gerações do amor de Deus. Burke lembra que Deus continua utilizando o mesmo método usado em todas as gerações: institui sua igreja contando com pessoas imperfeitas, em situações aparentemente sem esperança. Ninguém está tão longe ou perdido que Deus não o possa alcançar!
