'This book is a map based on thousands of years of mapmaking. Let me share the collective wisdom, experience, and understanding of the map. Let me, to the best of my ability, articulate and reveal the truth of this journey of life. Billions of people have used this map for over two thousand years. The map is the Christian faith, and that faith is shown to us through the Bible, the church, and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our constant and internal guide on this journey. This abiding Spirit is also known as the Spirit of Christ. Christ is always with us and will guide us if we pay attention.'

Howard Storm, an avowed atheist, was awaiting emergency surgery when he realized that he was at death's door. Storm found himself out of his own body, looking down on the hospital room scene below. Next, rather than going "toward the light," he found himself being torturously dragged to excruciating realms of darkness and death, where he was physically assaulted by monstrous beings of evil. Finally, drawn away from death and transported to the realm of Heaven, Storm met angelic beings as well as the God of Creation. Storm was sent back to his body with a new knowledge of the purpose of life here on earth. This book is his message of hope.
