Before Creation, Planet Life, After Life

The purpose of this book, "Before Creation, Planet Life, After Life," is to cause readers, especially Christians, to search for a broader perspective of Scriptures referencing man's existence before and after death. I hope this work will initiate more thought as to when, where, and how we fit into God's mind and final plans for us.

If we embark upon this search looking at Scripture through traditional lenses, we will miss seeing the things of God, by the faith of God. He is the one who invited us saying, "If any man lacks wisdom (knowledge on any subject), let him ask of God who gives to all men liberally (holds nothing back from us)!" Yet, there are many church leaders who warn their parishioners against asking God questions concerning those things which plague their souls, even though the book of Job is a good example that God is not intimidated by our questions.

Considering Job's experience and reverence for God, while searching for answers, I believe the result of our seeking and asking will bring us the comfort and steadfastness that we so desperately need in our times of sorrow and disconnectedness. It may give us that "blessed assurance" that we have been, are, and will be "forever with the Lord!" We're not strangers to Him, because He said that He chose us in Him (knew us) "before the foundation of the world" was laid. (Ephesians 1:4)
