The Angels' Diary

Where do we go after we die? Is there really such a thing as heaven, where God has "prepared a place for us"? When we die our body remains behind on this planet, but where does the real us-soul, spirit, consciousness-go? Some say that we cannot know, that nobody has ever come back to tell us. Yet many believe that "the dead"-as well as angelic beings who have never been human-can convey information telepathically to gifted human receivers about the afterlife and the worlds beyond, and that these accounts from "the other side" indicate that the universe is teeming with life. The Angels' Diary is one such account. First published in 1903, the instructive messages contained in this little volume, transmitted through the hand of Elizabeth Maud Weatherhead, have given comfort to many. The authors say, "We pray that the teachings of this book may furnish food for thought to all men, that it may lift the shadow from troubled hearts, that it may sow good seed in the soul of the unbeliever, that it may give new encouragement and hope to the discouraged, and the promise of eternal health to those who have become weakened in mind and body. May it go forth and bear good results." The Life on Other Worlds Series is a selection of classic accounts of the afterlife and otherworldly life, told by those who are already there or who have been shown glimpses of what awaits us when our lives on earth are over. Descriptions vary, yet a thread of similarity runs through them all. May this collection serve as a travel guide as we embark on the greatest adventure of all-the journey into the mysterious realm beyond this world.
