Millones de personas alrededor del mundo han reportado experiencias cercanas a la muerte. ¿Prueban tales descripciones la existencia de un Dios amoroso? Jamás en la historia habíamos tenido acceso a tantas historias de personas alrededor del mundo que han sobrevivido la muerte clínica. La resucitación médica moderna y la comunicación digital han revelado una mina de oro de intrigantes experiencias cercanas a la muerte (ECM). Por tres décadas, John Burke se ha dedicado a estudiar qué tienen en común más de mil ECM. Él comenzó su investigación como un agnóstico escéptico cuando su propio padre estaba muriendo de cáncer. Al leer por primera vez estas anécdotas de testigos oculares, no pudo evitar preguntarse: «¿Podría ser evidencia real—incluso prueba—de la existencia de Dios?». En este libro, se presentan las historias de más de setenta personas que provienen de cada continente y han muerto, resucitado y afirmado estar más vivas que nunca en la presencia de un Dios amoroso que no querían dejar atrás jamás. Gente de toda etnicidad, transfondo de fe y profesión —incluyendo doctores, ingenieros y jefes ejecutivos—experimenta al mismo Dios. John Burke revela la historia de amor y las características de este Dios de todas las naciones, revelado a lo largo de las Escrituras, quien ahora es ilustrado por estos emocionantes encuentros. Te darás cuenta de que el amor, el poder, la compasión, la amistad y la guía de Dios están más cerca de lo que te podrías imaginar. Y para un momento como este, las personas necesitan saber que un Dios amoroso está a su alcance. 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?” In this book, you will hear from nearly seventy people from every continent who have died, resuscitated, and claimed to be more alive than ever in the presence of a loving God they never wanted to leave. People of all ethnicities, faith backgrounds, and professions—including doctors, engineers, and CEOs—experience the same God. John Burke unveils the love story and characteristics of this God of all nations, revealed throughout history in Scripture, now illustrated by these thrilling encounters. You will realize that God’s love, power, compassion, friendship, and guidance are closer than you could ever imagine. And for such a time as this, people need to know that a loving God is within their reach.

Este emocionante viaje al Más Allá te hará sentir como si hubieras estado allí. Cambiará para siempre la forma en la que ves la vida eterna y la forma en la que vives tu vida hoy. Descubrirás que el Cielo es aún más asombroso de lo que has imaginado. En Imagina el cielo, compara más de 100 historias apasionantes de experiencias cercanas a la muerte (ECM) con lo que dicen las Escrituras sobre nuestras preguntas más importantes sobre el Cielo: ¿Seré yo mismo? ¿Veré amigos y seres queridos? ¿Cómo será el cielo? ¿Cómo es Dios? ¿Qué haremos para siempre? ¿Qué pasa con los niños y las mascotas? Durante décadas, Burke ha estado estudiando relatos de sobrevivientes rescatados de una muerte cercana que vivieron para contar experiencias tanto celestiales como infernales. Si bien no todos los detalles de las ECM individuales se relacionan con las Escrituras, Burke muestra cómo las experiencias comunes, compartidas por miles de sobrevivientes, sobre la imagen del cielo prometida en la Biblia. ENGLISH DESCRPTION Compares over 100 gripping stories of near-death experiences (NDEs) to what Scripture says about our biggest questions of Heaven: Will I be myself? Will I see friends and loved ones? What will Heaven look like? What is God like? What will we do forever? What about children and pets? For decades, Burke has been studying accounts of survivors brought back from near death who lived to tell of both heavenly and hellish experiences. While not every detail of individual NDEs correlate with Scripture, Burke shows how the common experiences shared by thousands of survivors--including doctors, college professors, bank presidents, people of all ages and cultures, and even blind people--point to the exhilarating picture of Heaven promised in the Bible. This thrilling journey into the afterlife will make you feel like you've been there. It will forever change the way you view the life to come and the way you live your life today. You'll discover Heaven is even more amazing than you've ever imagined.

The (re-)construction of Old Kingdom Egypt requires a reasonable relative chronological framework, which has proven to be an elusive and often controversial endeavour. The analysis that has been done in tracing the evolution of tombs has in part been hampered by the necessity to use established dates, often controversial dates, to interpret and determine the stylistic development of tomb construction and decoration. While new technology has enhanced the study of ancient cultures through such applications as satellite archaeology, radio carbon dating, 3D imaging of mummies and other artefacts, the use of statistics and mathematical techniques has remained at a basic level. More recently new techniques have appeared, such as using cladistics for Nubian pottery analysis, decision tree analysis for Middle Kingdom Egyptian stele dating, and correlation analysis for the use of royal regalia at Medinet Habu. The study aims to determine if advanced mathematical methods, like cluster analysis, can refine the methods employed to date Old Kingdom tombs. IBM's SPSS package using Kohonen Network and TwoStep cluster analysis are applied to 113 Memphite examples of one scene type, the tomb owner seated before an offering table, using approximately three hundred features associated with the scenes on all walls of the offering chapels. The analysis, without reference to any currently considered dates, intends to determine if natural clusters exist and whether these correlate to currently accepted dates of individual Old Kingdom tombs. The initial results indicate that approximately 40-50% of the clusters fall within the "ranges" that had been proposed by various scholars. This study has indicated that using cluster analysis has some validity in dating tombs and results could be improved by selectively analysing smaller groups of criteria.
