Very Interesting!

If you could sum up A Rabbi Looks at the Afterlife in three words, what would they be?

Very well researched.

What was one of the most memorable moments of A Rabbi Looks at the Afterlife?

If I have to pick one moment of A Rabbi Looks at the Afterlife it would be the chapter on Near Death Experiences.

Which scene was your favorite?

Most of the Near Death Experiences (not the people who experienced Hell) had the calm, peaceful feeling that mirrors my own experience. It was interesting how so many people viewed so many different things like the woman who saw her father in a driving a wagon while other relatives were in front of it.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

A memorable, thought provoking movie!

Any additional comments?

Everyone should listen to this. You'll find that many ancient cultures believed and still do believe in some form of Heaven, Hell, and Near Death Experiences.

Very Informative

What made the experience of listening to A Rabbi Looks at the Afterlife the most enjoyable?

Rabbi Bernis did his homework. I appreciated the Jewish knowledge he brought out. He did thorough research. Most of all, I believe he did his best to convince the reader / listener of their need for salvation through Jesus Christ and his atoning blood shed on Calvary. The story brings glory to God, and that is a huge plus in my eyes.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Since this is not a fiction book, there are no "characters" per say, but my favorite story had to be the man in France who went down the hallway.

Have you listened to any of W.B. Ward’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, I have listened to W.B. Ward's other performances. This one does not disappoint. I believe he put his heart into the reading, as he used voice inflection and emotions that could not be written into the text, only felt. I do not think the author could have picked a better producer than W.B. Ward. I have listened to numerous works done by this narrator, and in my opinion, he is a master craftsman.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did not want to turn the player off, but I had to break up the listening into three sessions as my time allowed. It was very interesting.

Any additional comments?

I think the author could have done better in two ways. One, I think if he believes in infallibility of scripture, that he should choose which translation to quote from. I do not believe all books that claim to be scripture are infallible. I think the reader would be less confused (if his offer of eternal life is the main concern) if he chose one Bible to read from. Second, I think the author used the same scriptures over and over when there are many more he could have used. It was a bit redundant, as well as recounting the six testimonies a second time.

Incredible

I very rarely give a book 5 stars, even some of my favorites. However, in this case, I must make an exception. The author does a fantastic, well cited, dive into the question of heaven and hell. He is balanced and careful to draw from multiple sources, with views on both sides. I think everyone should read this book and carefully consider what is presented therein. I love the fact that this comes from both a Christian and Jewish perspective.

The narrator does a splendid job garnishing the text with voice inflection and character voices. Because of this, an already fascinating book comes alive and makes it almost irresistible to "put down." This is a must for any audiobook library!

Everyone dies. What comes next?

Very interesting overview.. Still not sure about the personal reports on visiting heaven and hell

A must read! Excellent!

A look at Heaven and Hell from, not only a Biblical perspective, but also from a Messianic Jewish Rabbi's perspective. If you're not sure or doubt Heaven and Hell exist, please read this book.
