And what publishers do is they produce what's called an advanced reader's copy that goes out to reviewers and to the media. The actual book is a jacketed hardcover and everything. But this is the first copy. That's copy number one. This is copy number one. I signed it to you, to Sean. First copy. I just thought you might like to have it. Oh, man.

It's a great question. We live in a scientific age. We live in a technological age. And there's a lot of people who say that science disproves Christianity, disproves faith, which I disagree with. And they say there's nothing more to reality than what we can see and touch. And I said, that's not true. There is more to reality than what we can see and touch.

And I wanted to document it in this book by looking at things like miracles, God's intervention in his creation in a way that cannot be explained in any other way other than God is entering into our world and creating a miracle. Deathbed visions, people see just before they die, often a glimpse of what's to come. Stephen, in the Bible, just before he died, he saw a glimpse of heaven.

And this is extremely common, so I have a chapter on that. Near-death experiences, people who are clinically dead and yet have an experience that's corroborated in one way or the other. direct encounters from God, how God reaches down and touches lives, mystical dreams. I believe, and the Bible teaches this, that there is a realm beyond what we can currently see and touch.

And it is every bit as real as the realm that we're in and experience day by day. Spiritual warfare comes in because part of that other realm is there is a demonic element. We have angels, literally hundreds of millions of angels that exist. They're spirits, but there's also demons. And Satan, whose name had been Lucifer before he fell as an angel and is now in warfare with God's plan,

He sometimes reaches into our world and there are, in my book, I document cases of possession, demonic possession. This is real stuff. Now, Demons cannot possess a Christian because we're indwelled by the Holy Spirit. We can't be indwelled at the same time by a demonic spirit. But Satan can hector us, he can harass us.

And so spiritual warfare is a way that we protect ourselves through prayer and through vigilance and through reading scripture and understanding why we believe what we believe. These various things we can do to kind of ward off these attacks that we otherwise might experience. Interesting.

Because there's a passage in Scripture where John gets a vision of the post-resurrection Jesus on his throne. And he says there are 10,000 times 10,000 angels there. Well, that's 100 million angels just in that setting around the throne of Jesus worshiping him. So we got a minimum of 100 million angels. I believe that's just the tip of an iceberg. So do we become angels when we die?
