As I stood, for the first time, at my father's North Carolina gravesite I couldn't help but wonder what advice dad would give me now after spending three years in heaven, looking back on life from an eternal perspective. Upon returning home to Florida I shared with my friend and pastor, David Nelms, what I had experienced and the fact that I continued to wonder what advice dad would give me now. David, whose father also passed away to young, and, in my opinion an expert on things eternal, also became interested in this "heavenly" perspective and together we decided to write this book. Thinking through each of these 20 topics from an eternal perspective has been a big help to us. We have tried to communicate our thoughts in a touching manner that will be a big help to everyone who reads this book.
