Can one of my Logos brothers or sisters recommend a product to answer the question: What happens to

Robert Pavich

Hi,

I had someone ask me that question and I gave them the 25 cent answer...the one sentence answer but clearly, there is a LOT going on with what happens when a person, believer or unbeliever, dies.....

I looked in my library, and found lots of info...Josh McDowell has a great section on all of this stuff in his apologetic handbook...but a question remains...

Can you recommend a resource that really lays all this stuff out? A "dummy's guide" of sorts..?

I just picked up a book whose focus is exactly this, in the Christmas "Master Collection":

If I Should Die before I Wake: What's Beyond This Life? (it's part of the Christian Focus Theological Studies Collection)

I haven't read it yet, of course, since I just got it. But it appears to cover all the bases. It has an appendix discussing the pros and cons of annihilationism, respectfully treating it as a very difficult question that perhaps cannot be resolved one way or the other, but giving strong arguments both ways. I did skim through that section, and based on how it is treated I am pretty sure the rest of the book will be worth reading.
