Rob's Story
I became a believing, church going Christian just six years ago. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made, and it has changed my outlook on life in so many ways – all for the better.
When Jesus said ‘Seek, and you will find. Knock and the door will be opened to you’, he wasn’t kidding. If you keep an open mind, and that does not mean being uncritical or gullible, and seriously look for him, you will find God. I've had several powerful experiences of his presence myself and seen others physically affected as well. Jesus promised that all who believe in him will have eternal life and I honestly think that anyone who looks at all the evidence impartially will find him too.
I don’t expect anyone to take my word for such incredible claims, but check it out for yourself – I guarantee it will change your life - and afterlife!
Below I’ve listed some books that have helped me along the way :-
Life After Death by Elisabeth Kubler - Ross
Life After Life by Raymond Moody
Basic Christianity by John Stott
It Makes Sense by Stephen Gaukroger
Questions of Life by Nicky Gumbel
