It's not enough to just be a Christian
Hove, UK (whole book)
"I think the book might affect Christians to help them realise that while they will get to heaven, it's not enough to just be a Christian, you need to do something with it and get stuck into God. It really struck me how disappointed Becky felt when she made it to heaven but didn't receive a crown. I did find the book a bit long, the best bits were when something was actually happening. I'd recommend it to others, but not necessarily to non-Christians - it might be too much for them."


It spoke volumes to me too
London, UK (whole book)
"Although the book may be aimed at teens and twenty-somethings, I am a thirty-something and found it spoke volumes to me too. Very readable – couldn't put it down. I am going to see if I can get my non-Christian husband to read it too as surely Christians and non-Christians alike will struggle to remain unaffected by the huge questions the book raises. Thank God for people like Adrian Holloway. Thank God for Jesus!!"


Seriously hit home
Wrexham, UK (whole book)
"God has been challenging me loads recently about what Christianity means to me and what God means to me, so the first chapter seriously hit home, I now know the things I need to work on spiritually in order to be the light I want to be for Jesus and this book is partly responsible for that.
  
The second chapter was reassuring after all that was said in the first chapter, it offered hope and showed how loving Jesus was and helped to answer fundamental questions that I still had in my life, I am more confidant of going to heaven now I've read the book and it's changed my life for the better! there is so much I can do for Jesus if only I allow him to work in my life (I only finished the book this morning so I'm sussing out how I can do this).
  
The third chapter was encouraging as well as giving helpful advice, such as formulating a battle plan to work out where Satan's going to attack, and how much more I should be reading my bible. I am now really excited about getting to! heaven, but I also realise I can do really cool things on Earth for God. Thankyou for such an exciting and challenging book. "


I can't put it down
Dartington, UK (whole book)
"I first heard about the shock of your life at a camp called Stoneleigh - that is where I bought it from. I started to read the book last night because my brother who is a non-believer and my mum read it first. So far i think it is an excellent book it has done wonders for my brother and I and I can't put it down. Well done you must be so proud."


It really was a shock
Hertfordshire, UK (whole book)
"I wasn't a christian before i read the book, but now i'm not sure. It really was a shock- overall a brilliant book!"


Should be compulsory reading Grimsby, UK (whole book)
"Read the whole book in an hour and couldn't put it down. Should be compulsory reading for all Christian youthworkers and all teenage Christians! Will be discussing the questions with our youth groups."


Going to give it to my non-Christian friends Honiton, UK (whole book)
"I thought this book was brilliant and really clear. It shows God compassion for us and how much he want us to be with him in Heaven. I'm going to give it to a lot of my non-Christian friends because i think it is so clear. Thanks for writing it."


One of the BEST books I have ever read! Stowmarket, UK. (whole book)
"It is one of the BEST books I have ever read! Woh! We need more copies because everyone wants to read it. We even have non-christian friends who want to read it and look at this fab web site. Well done! God Bless! and THANK-YOU. If you havn't read it yet, be brave and read it ASAP!"


I found out I was wrong
- Reigate, UK. (whole book)
"I brought this book on a Christian holiday last week and I could barely put it down. The book makes you really think. Before I read it I thought that good people got into heaven as well as Christians but I found out I was wrong. Now I want all my friends to know the truth and become Christians because they are good people and I want them to go to heaven. People should try to get their Non-Christian friends to read it. That's what I'll try and do."


Fantastically gripping - made me want to read the Bible Hove, UK (whole book)
"I read the whole book in a day and I've heard others say the same. The reason being that it is fantastically gripping and challanging for young Christians. It really brought to me the reality of God, life after death and made me want to read the Bible for more helpful truth. I wept after the first chapter as it challenged me so thoroughly. Now I can't wait to get to heaven, to see Jesus and praise him forever. I plan to get copies for non-Christian friends to wake them up to reality. I never would have done this before!


It made me think more about heaven
Liverpool, UK (whole book)
"It was very good, although I'm not sure what a non-christian would think of it. It made me think more about heaven, and made me more eager to help my brother become a Christian. I couldn't put it down.


Given me a desire to to live my life for Him
Woking, UK (whole book)
I would like to congratulate you on a brilliant book. I went to Stoneleigh Bible Week last week and heard the book advertised there. My sister bought it and I read it in a couple of hours. It was excellent, so well-written and easy to read.
   I found the book really challenging. It was really helpful to have all the quotes and main points from the Bible...I have been a Christian for 13 years and discovered that I didn't actually know that much about what Jesus said about what happens when we die. It's given me a desire to read the Bible more, and, more importantly, to live my life for Him. This book was so easy to relate to, I found that I could identify with a lot of the things that the characters thought and felt. Hopefully some of my friends who aren't Christians will read it and it will make them think. An excellent read...thanks so much."


I found it so cooool
Sheffield, UK (first chapter)
"i haven't read all the book but i found it so cooool and i like the way it shows how it might be if we did die a non-christian or a christian and what it might be like to happen or whats hell like i meen we all know that there is a river of life in heaven and there's is a lake of fire because its in the bible and people have dreams and pictures in the bible about it and people now have dreams about it is good because it makes you think what it would be like i love reading it i have had it a day and nearly read a whole chapter !!!!!!!! go out a get it your regret if u don't! :) :( :>"


Made me feel sure I'm going to heaven
Hove, UK (whole book)
"I think that it gives young Christians a better understanding of what happens when you die. It might be a bit overwhelming for a non-Christian though.
  
I didn't know what hell was like before – I knew it would be horrible, but not as horrible as this. I now want to talk to more non-Christians about Jesus – especially my friends.
   It made me feel sure that I'm going to heaven and that I need to do things that please God as well such as telling other people about him. I didn't know I could get a crown!"


Given me a 3D view of eternity
Hove, UK (whole book)
"My understanding of heaven and eternal life has always been rather vague. I'd read the stuff in the book of Revelation about the heavenly city etc, but often thought "what will it really be like to be there – and to go and meet Jesus?"
   Reading this book has given me a really three-dimensional view of eternity, one that's affecting the way I live now – I want to please God in all I do."
