John Burke

Millioner av mennesker har rapportert om nær-døden-opplevelser. Kan disse beretningene bevise at det finnes en kjærlig Gud? Aldri før har vi kunnet høre fra så mange mennesker verden over som har blitt brakt tilbake til livet etter å ha vært klinisk døde. Moderne medisinsk gjenopplivning og digitale kommunikasjonskanaler har avdekket en gullgruve av fascinerende nær-døden-opplevelser. John Burke har brukt de siste tretti årene på å studere over tusen av dem. Da han som skeptisk agnostiker først leste disse beretningene fra øyenvitner, kunne han ikke la være å spørre seg selv: «Kan dette være sant – og kanskje også bevis på at Gud finnes?» Beveg deg inn i undringens sfærer sammen med mennesker fra alle kontinenter, personer som har møtt en vidunderlig Gud med en uimotståelig kjærlighet. Underveis på reisen vil du skjønne at Gud er den kjærligheten du alltid har lengtet etter, og Hans kraft, medfølelse, vennskap og veiledning er nærmere enn du noensinne kunne ha forestilt deg!

I am deeply concerned about the future of the United States. I believe our leaders have failed to adequately address many of the large problems we have as a country. I believe that as citizens, we are going to have the same leadership options in 2024 that we have had in past elections. We have a low-performance Government; our health-care system is almost twice as expensive as other Western countries and delivers the worst results when compared to those countries; our tax code is overly complicated, favoring the rich over everyone else; and we are $33 trillion in debt with no plan to pay for it. The list of significant issues that our leaders fail to address goes on and on. The United States used to lead the world as an example of good government. Those days are over, but they don't need to be. I am running for President because I think our country needs massive change. If I had similar views to any other candidates, I would not run. If another candidate enters the race with a better plan and better leadership skills than I possess, I will withdraw and support that candidate. My sole concern is the long-term success of the United States.

The history of Roscommon in the 1912-23 period is one of transition to new political allegiances while retaining old economic desires. Almost wholly dependent on agriculture to fuel the local economy and sustain the county's people, the fight for land was the ever-present backdrop to Roscommon's recent history. By 1912 the organization that had provided leadership in that fight - the Irish Parliamentary Party - was on the cusp of achieving Irish home rule, a measure believed to have the potential to settle the land issue. The need to protect the bill saw thousands in Roscommon join the Irish Volunteers and proclaim their opposition to anti-home rule unionists. The First World War led to the suspension of home rule and a call by Irish MPs for their followers to support the British war effort. However, a combination of increasing wartime prices, inadequate food production, ongoing land issues as well as the toleration of partition by local MPs and the draconian British response to Easter 1916 caused many in Roscommon to reassess their political allegiance. Sensationally, in February 1917, Roscommon elected the first Sinn Fein-backed MP. This proved a decisive step in the demise of the Irish Parliamentary Party and the success of Sinn Fein, which reinvigorated the fight for the land as part of its efforts for a republic. In 1919, Roscommon men took up arms against the British to pursue Sinn Fein aims, only to turn the weapons on one another three years later when conflict over the continued pursuit of the Irish Republic led to civil war. In tracing the history of Roscommon during these years of instability, Burke's careful research has produced a comprehensive and accessible study that illuminates and explains the changes and continuities that defined the period.

Mahdollisuus kuolemanjälkeisestä elämästä kiinnostaa. John Burke on tutkinut kymmenien vuosien ajan kertomuksia, joissa on käyty lähellä kuolemaa ja palattu kertomaan sekä taivaallisista että helvetillisistä kokemuksista. Burke vertaa yli sataa kuvausta kuolemanrajakokemuksista siihen, miten Raamattu vastaa kiinnostavimpiin kysymyksiimme tuonpuoleisesta: Olenko edelleen oma itseni? Näenkö ystäviäni ja rakkaitani? Miltä taivaassa näyttää? Millainen Jumala on? Mitä teemme ikuisesti? Entä lapset ja lemmikit? Lukuisten ihmisten yhteneväiset kokemukset piirtävät valloittavaa kuvaa Raamatun lupaamasta taivaasta. Kertojina on lääkäreitä, yliopiston professoreita, pankinjohtajia, ihmisiä kaikista ikäryhmistä ja kulttuureista - jopa sokeita. Nämä jännittävät matkakuvaukset saattavat muuttaa näkemyksesi tulevasta elämästä ja vaikuttaa elämäntapaasi jo nyt. Taivas on vielä ihmeellisempi kuin olet osannut kuvitellakaan.

This book examines the ideological and socio-political discourses shaping the remembrance and representation of Britain and the Cyprus conflict of 1974 within Greek Cypriot society. By combining the official with the popular and drawing on an extensive range of oral history interviews, this monograph shows that a suspicion born out of Britain’s long (neo-)colonial connection to Cyprus has come to frame the image and understanding of British actions associated with the events, and lasting consequences, of 1974. Indeed, with the island of Cyprus still divided, and the requirement to remember a national imperative, this book has a direct contemporary relevance. However, within the existent literature, while much has been written about the political roots of the Cyprus conflict, no study has yet sought to systematically analyse and understand the influences shaping the history and memory of British actions on Cyprus in 1974. One defined by the existence of 'partitionist' conspiracies, collusive accusations and a series of memory distortions which continue to resonate strongly irrespective of the evidence that is now available. As such, by analysing the influences shaping the image of Britain in 1974, one can begin to understand in ever greater detail the Anglo–Greek Cypriot relationship in a modern context.

Nära döden-upplevelser, Guds löften, och den spännande framtid som väntar dig. Vi vill alla veta hur livet efter döden blir. Pastorn och författaren John Burke är inget undantag. I Upptäck himlen jämför Burke drygt 100 fascinerande berättelser om nära döden-upplevelser med vad Bibeln har att säga om våra vanligaste frågor om himlen:• Kommer jag att vara mig själv?• Får jag träffa nära och kära?• Hur ser himlen ut?• Hur är Gud?• Vad ska vi göra i all evighet?• Hur blir det med barn och husdjur? Under årtionden har Burke studerat vittnesmål från människor som överlevt nära möten med döden och fått med sig upplevelser av både himlen och helvetet. Även om alla detaljer i personliga nära döden-upplevelser inte helt överensstämmer med Bibeln, visar Burke hur upplevelserna som delas av tusentals överlevare – inklusive doktorer, universitetsprofessorer, bankchefer, folk från alla åldrar och kulturer och även blinda – bekräftar den fascinerande beskrivningen av himlen som framställs i Bibeln. Den här spännande resan in i livet efter döden kommer att ge dig en känsla av att du varit där. Den kommer för alltid att förändra sättet du ser på livet efter detta och hur du lever ditt liv idag. Du kommer att upptäcka att himlen är mer fantastisk än vad du någonsin kunnat föreställa dig. Om författarenJohn Burke är pastor i Gateway Church, Austin, Texas.

[Burke] har gjort det med medkänsla, förståelse och en önskan att nå ut till alla som söker sanningen.- Ur Don Pipers förord
