Jack Crosse has the perfect life, a great wife, a young daughter and successful career as an advertising executive. He doesn’t take his life for granted and enjoys every aspect of it. Everything is wonderful, until two policemen appear at his door to tell him that his wife and daughter have been killed in a car accident. Jack is completely numb and barely functions for the next five months.

One day  he is approached by a strange man who tells him that a woman named Helen will be visiting. Every night he dreams of his wife and daughter; they are calling him, and he feels that they are in danger. Jack is told that Helen will help him with his dreams.

Helen arrives and explains about a place called “home,” which is really Heaven. Helen helps him to go home, where he learns that there was a terrible mistake and his family wasn't supposed to have been killed in the car accident.     What happens next?

AFTERLIFE moves along so quickly that I couldn’t put it down, and neither will anyone else who reads this story.  I have read books by Sylvia & Chris Brown and have heard about spirit guides and our life’s chart. I’d love to tell you more about what  happens to Jack’s wife and daughter’s life chart, but I think it would be telling you too much. Suffice to say that this book shouldn’t offend Christians.

I, personally, found it to be very uplifting, especially since I am going through a particularly tough time in my life right now.  A section in the book reminds us that nothing can hurt us unless we let it.  AFTERLIFE offers a nice explanation of Heaven and Hell, and it also speaks to the choices that we make in our lives.  Mr. Bialkowski reminds us that God would never leave us alone, even though he does allow us free choice.

This is Mr. Bialkowski’ s first published book and I definitely would buy and read other books by this author. I challenge anyone else to put the book away once they begin reading it.
