Next? Park Linscomb

We know everyone dies, but then what? Our world can offer plenty of theories and opinions about the afterlife: reincarnation, oblivion, judgment, purgatory, Heaven, Nirvana, and Hell, to list only the well known ones. But what's true and what's not? Can we afford to be surprised? Do we really want to be surprised, especially when there is reliable information about it? The Bible calls God's promises about the afterlife "hope", but Christian hope is more than just a happy wish. It is a confident expectation; and it's basic to Christian motivation, obedience, and perseverance. But the specifics of this hope often get muddled in the midst of a modern jumble of religious ideas. "Next?" is a careful study of the wonderful Christian hope found in the Bible. It was written to be read and understood by a wide audience as it deals honestly and kindly with even sensitive subjects. Park Linscomb has been a minister of the church of Christ for over 40 years in the mission field of New England. He holds a BA in Bible from Lubbock Christian University and a MSHS in Counseling and Psychology from Southern New Hampshire University. Beyond Bible study and ministry, he has active sid-interests in Biblical archaeology, psychology, technology, and family. He is married (Linda) and has a son (Adam), daughter-in-law (Meri) and two wonderful grandsons (Jackson and Jordan).
