Getting to the heart of the matter! Death and eternity are inescapable. Life itself, though precious, is but a whisper, then gone! So what, if anything, should I do about it? Agnostics, atheists, doubters, and Christians all have a common stake in these two matters. Christians care about spiritual destinies of those left behind. Will they get what I have received from God? The others are still pondering these issues but, at some point, will likely want to include an objective assessment as seen from a Christian point of view. What I Could Have Said about What I Should Have Said is a welcoming invitation extended to each of the above groups. The author resolves the could have and should have quandary by using meaningful Bible segments that cover creation to eternity information. Collectively, they "get to the heart" of God's plans for humanity, which address both death and eternity. The reader is encouraged to come to their own point of view regarding these specific scripture segments and to introduce additional pertinent verses or material for consideration. The author then presents his thoughts and opinions about these scriptures. It progresses as a forum where objective trading of ideas can instruct each participant's ensuing convictions. If writing is not for you, the book can be your surrogate voice. Let it tell loved ones that talking about spiritual matters is important to you and that you are open at any time for sharing thoughts. Also, in your absence, it offers truths about Jesus Christ that are commonly held by Christians, and suggested in the selected discussion verses and commentary are clear links to his "good news" message!
