Do you believe in life after death? Is there a heaven? And if so, is there a place called hell? Most people only want to talk about a nice, happy ending to their existence here on earth. But what if we are actually and truly accountable for our actions after we leave this world? Would that scare you? In my opinion, it should. I should know. There was a time that I was wild and crazy and lived life without concern. I lived a life filled with longing, torment, and despair. One day I died and left my body. For three days, I was taken on a horrific and terrifying journey. What I learned I hope to share with others so they, too, can feel sure of their ultimate resting place. There is a life after death. We are all accountable. The very good news is each one of us can make a conscious decision as to where we go when we die. It’s not easy to get there, to that beautiful place called heaven. But it is in reach for those who love God with all their heart and live a godly life.

Grace is a relational influence of God upon a man that helps him to do spiritual things. It is also an unmerited favour of God that gains you access to an inheritance according to Acts 20:32 and a blessing you never work for. It is a fast builder that builds you up and helps you attain your God-given destiny and purpose, because destiny is a compulsory journey that must be undertaken by anyone born on this earth, and it begins the moment you are born. Due to the fact that everyone is born with a destiny, it therefore means that destiny is a compulsory journey. It is a distance you travel between the points where you discover your purpose, to the point where the purpose is fulfilled. But it is quite unfortunate that not everyone attains his or her destiny, because some destinies are being cut short.

Alvina Houghton is bored by her little town, and feels trapped after her plans to elope with her lover falls through. Though she had previously dreamed of training as a nurse, Alvina is unsure what to do with her life. Alvina comes of age as her father, James, faces the failure of his business. She has a difficult relationship with her father. He is a man who never fully indulged in his passions, but has made eccentric financial decisions. In attempt to secure his daughter’s upbringing and save his fortune, James buys a theater. There, he employs many traveling artists, as well as a handsome and sensual Italian man named Ciccio. After meeting the man, Alvina feels drawn to him, especially since he is well-traveled.
