| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Susie Larson. Thank you for listening to Susie Larson Live. Faith Radio podcasts are only possible because of your support. So thanks for giving and thanks for sharing with a friend. |
| 0:12.4 | You're listening to an encore presentation of Susie Larson Lark. Welcome to sing. So the back row is you glide. |
| 0:22.3 | Because walking just won't do dance. |
| 0:24.8 | You don't have to know how to ever since. |
| 0:27.6 | And since me's got you left. |
| 0:29.6 | Welcome to Susie Larson Live. |
| 0:32.1 | Always so honored to get to spend this time with you. |
| 0:35.2 | In fact, I look forward to bringing you conversations every single day that hopefully inspire you in your faith walk, that deepen your understanding of God's Word and that heightens your awareness of his very real presence in your life. Well, we've been doing a series every Tuesday on Living with the End in Mind. And today's topic is one, I'll just be honest, I may not have tackled it, if not for John Burke. In times past when I heard about near-death experiences, I just left it alone. But a number of years ago, around the time that my brother-in-law died from pancreatic cancer, I just developed this profound hunger to know more about heaven. And I didn't want to talk with guests given to sensationalism or out |

| 1:43.7 | And this book comes endorsed by reputable leaders like Lee Strobel and J.P. Morland. |
| 1:48.5 | We have got a powerful show ahead. |
| 1:50.1 | John Burke is my guest today. |
| 1:51.7 | His book is titled Imagine Heaven, Near Death Experiences, God promises, and the exhilarating future that await you. |
| 1:59.2 | And thanks to Baker, we have 10 copies to give |
| 2:01.5 | away. Honestly, I wish we had a million more to give away, not only for believers, but for unbelievers |
| 2:06.1 | alike, because this book will make you fall in love with God all over again. It'll awaken |
