What happens when you die? 
It’s an age-old question that continues to mystify modern minds. In their quest for answers, people turn to mediums, channelers, and séances, desperately hoping to contact loved ones lost to the grave. 
Today, mysticism and paranormal experiences are sweeping through the world in books, movies, and video games. Dazzled by the supernatural, people in our culture are ripe for delusion and false hope. Even Christians have settled for philosophical postulates and ecclesiastical traditions to solve the riddle of what lies beyond the grave. 
Join Dr. Timm as he traces how extra-biblical sources—especially Platonic philosophy—have distorted the biblical understanding of life and death. He carefully unpacks what the Bible says about human nature and the state of the dead. 
Life is too precious, and death is too mysterious to speculate about its ultimate meaning. Only God, through Scripture, can give us the soul-satisfying answers we seek.

On Death, Dying, and the Future Hope (4Q 2022 Bible Bookshelf)

“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.”—Anonymous 
Why should we be concerned with history, especially the distant past? A rich, full life in the present requires a balanced understanding of the past from which we came, the present in which we live, and the future toward which we are going. 
Each daily devotional in this book highlights a specific event that occurred on the same date in history—within Christianity, in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, or in the lives of Ellen G. White and others. Explore the historical event, examine the personal spiritual implications, and power your day with an inspiring devotional thought.

Every Day A New Beginning (Adult Devotional)

Human history is dotted with the exploits of men and women, kings and queens, rogues and despots. Tomes have been written chronicling the rise and fall of empires, but who is able to trace the movements of God between the pages of history? The answer? God Himself. The Bible is a reliable record of God s unceasing effort to reconcile fallen humanity to Himself through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Christianity is based on the assumption that God exists and reveals Himself through human prophets, His special spokespersons to fallen humanity. The Gift of Prophecy in Scripture and History provides an exhaustive approach to this subject from a Seventh-day Adventist perspective. After surveying the Bible teachings about prophetic phenomena, this landmark work provides a helpful overview of how these phenomena have been understood within the Christian tradition, culminating with the prophetic ministry of Ellen G. White (1827-1915). This book breaks new ground and should remain a standard text on the subject for many years to come.

The Gift of Prophecy in Scripture and History

Battle Creek is much more than a geographical location for the student of Seventh-day Adventist history. The name brings to mind the first institutions that shaped the future of the denomination: the world-famous Battle Creek Sanitarium and its medical founder, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg; the Review and Herald Publishing Association, the first publisher of Adventist literature; and the "Dime" Tabernacle, paid for by monthly contributions of ten cents from each member. It was in Battle Creek that the name Seventh-day Adventist was chosen and where in 1901 the fledging church, inspired by a strong sense of mission, laid the foundations of a structure that survives to this day. This book explores the themes inspired by this significant historical setting, including the early conflicts in leadership, the beginnings of the missionary outreach of the church to groups in America and abroad and the start of the publishing, health, and educational ministries. It calls us to remember the past, to learn from not only the mistakes but also the dedication and commitment of men and women of faith, and to look forward to God's guidance in our journey toward heavenly Zion.
