99 Things to Do between Here and Heaven
“During a sunrise you may find yourself reflecting on the goodness of God the creator, who has made the planet both complex and beautiful. The spectacular colors are due to an effect called Rayleigh scattering. Particles in our atmosphere cause the light of the sun, which is constantly white, to split into its component colors. The most common particles, oxygen and nitrogen, cause the light to be scattered at the frequency that we observe as being in the blue spectrum, so the sky appears blue when the sun is overhead. During sunrise, the distance that light travels to our eyes is greater, so the blue light is more scattered. As a result, more of the light from the red and orange spectrum reaches our eyes, sometimes with a dazzling impact. The very same effect was observed by Jesus, by Abraham, and by prehistoric humans. Our increased understanding of how it happens has only led to a greater awe of the God who imagined it into being.”
—from “Watch the Sun Rise”
Kathleen Long Bostrom and Peter Graystone provide the ultimate to do list: 99 things that everyone should experience during their time on earth. Examples include giving blood, burying a time capsule, writing a letter to one’s future self, and dancing in the rain.
From the sublime (watch the sun rise), to the wonderfully silly (ride a roller-coaster!), the activities presented will breathe new life into readers’ lives while opening them up to new spiritual experiences.
Each entry provides a description of the activity, what the reader can expect to gain from it, and how much of a time commitment it will require. Blank space is included to record memories of and thoughts about the experience. This book will make a perfect gift to help keep someone on track during their journey between here and heaven.
