Carol Stream, IL (March 31, 2025) — Tyndale Elevate is pleased to announce that their book Imagine the God of Heaven by John Burke received the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association’s (ECPA’s) Bronze Milestone Sales Award for surpassing 150,000 books sold.
Imagine the God of Heaven invites readers to explore nearly 70 thrilling near-death experience (NDE) accounts that illustrate the characteristics of the God of the Bible. Never in history, until now, have we been able to hear from so many people across the globe who have been brought back from clinical death. Modern medical resuscitation and digital communication have revealed a gold mine of intriguing NDEs. John Burke has spent the last three decades studying the commonalities of more than 1,000 NDEs of people from different nations, religions, and cultures, exploring the question, Do these accounts prove the existence of a loving God?
“John Burke masterfully weaves together compelling near-death experiences with thoughtful analysis, offering a profound and thought-provoking glimpse into the character of God while uncovering compelling evidence of a God who is closer and more loving than we ever imagined,” says Jon Farrar, associate publisher. “This book is a powerful read that answers questions we all want to know about God.”
