Millions of people around the world have reported a near-death experience. Do these accounts prove the existence of a loving God? Never in history, until now, have we been able to hear from so many people around the world who have been brought back from clinical death. Modern medical resuscitation and digital communication have revealed a gold mine of intriguing near-death experiences (NDEs). John Burke has spent the last three decades studying the commonalities of more than one thousand NDEs. He started his investigative journey as a skeptical agnostic when his own father was dying from cancer. After he first read these eyewitness accounts, he couldn’t help asking himself: “Could this be real evidence—even possible proof—of God’s existence?” Imagine the God of Heaven Study Guide is a five-session workbook, designed to be used with the companion DVD experience (sold separately). This study guide will introduce you to people from all ethnicities who experience the same loving God. Within the five sessions, which can be explored with a group or individually, John Burke discusses the character traits of this God, who has been revealed throughout history and in Scripture. God’s love, power, compassion, friendship, and guidance are closer than you could ever imagine. Designed for use with Imagine the God of Heaven book and DVD experience.

A powerful, honest, and inspiring tribute to the incredible life of Richard Burke, the founder of Trek Bicycle Corporation, written by his son John. Richard Burke, known to many as “The Big Guy,” was a legend. With his friend Bevil Hogg, he founded the Trek Bicycle Corporation in 1976 and then went on to establish the company as one of the leading bicycle companies in the world. He was a man who called his son, John, his best friend. Indeed, they did many great things together: ran the Boston Marathon, followed the Tour de France throughout France, and later ran Trek together. In March 2008, he passed away after complications of heart surgery. The Big Guy touched people’s lives in countless ways, and his passing was deeply emotional for many. Now John (current president of Trek Bicycle) has written a powerful tribute to the incredible life his father led and the ways in which he was an inspiring businessman, leader, and person. Taking readers deep into the history of Trek, John shares how his father taught, trained, and instilled in him the confidence and desire to be a leader. A portrait of a great man, the book culminates with John telling his father on his deathbed of their twenty greatest moments together. This is an intimate portrayal of a father-son relationship filled with poignant experiences and lessons on how to get the most out of life.

"Amelia Earhart was the first woman to solo across the Atlantic; she broke transcontinental speed records, was the first to solo from Los Angeles to Mexico City and from Honolulu to the Mainland, and pioneered the airline routes. She lost her last gamble trying to fly around the world at the Equator in a two-engine plane without the navigational aids that became available only a few years later. Winged Legend, however, is more than the story of America''s no. 1 pioneer woman flier. It is a penetrating study of a young woman, born on the Kansas frontier, with a childhood shadowed by domestic tragedy, who willed herself to greatness. Hers was an extraordinary career even before she took up flying professionally -- nursing the World War I wounded in Canada, teaching school, working in a Boston settlement house, and meanwhile teaching herself to fly in the rickety, put-put aircraft of the twenties"--
