We Re Heaven Bound

More than one million people from all walks of life have been uplifted and entertained by Heaven Bound, the folk drama that follows, through song and verse, the struggles between Satan and a band of pilgrims on their way down the path of glory that leads to the golden gates. Staged annually and without interruption for more than seventy years at Big Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Atlanta, Heaven Bound is perhaps the longest running black theater production. Here, a lifelong member of Big Bethel with many close ties to Heaven Bound recounts its lively history and conveys the enduring power and appeal of an Atlanta tradition that is as much a part of the city as Coca-Cola or Gone with the Wind.

Heaven Bound Getting there, some day, is the ultimate … but the process and the journey can be spectacular! How does it happen? It’s not a secret. Heaven Bound For those who want to know. For those who don’t want to know. For those who already know.

After her death, Andrew Turner happens upon his mother's journals, and the revelations inside reveal a shocking secret about his ancestry that leaves him reeling ...

Does heaven feel real to you, or vague and ethereal? We can be 'so heavenly minded we're no earthly use'; but those Christians who did the most for this world thought a good deal about the next one. This book looks at how the hope of heaven should affect us in this life

"This is a ground-breaking book. The text is remarkable in its use of MPAA files and studio archives; Weisenfeld uncovers all sorts of side stories that enrich the larger narrative. The writing is clear and concise, and Weisenfeld makes important theoretical interpretations without indulging in difficult jargon. She incorporates both film theory and race theory in graceful, non-obtrusive ways that deepen understanding. This is an outstanding work."--Colleen McDannell, author of Picturing Faith: Photography and the Great Depression

My daily conversations with the Holy Spirit began long before I recognized them for what they are. A Counselor within is a hard concept to fathom or explain. In fact, the indwelling presence of the One we call the Holy Spirit is such a mystery to our finite minds that we can and do spend endless hours ignoring, debating, or just flat-out rejecting His wisdom and counsel. The manner of hearing His voice for me is much like a thought exchange. As I meditate or ponder and inquire of my Lord, things that are on my mind, He will provide interesting new or different thoughts as another person might when engaging in conversation. Heaven Bound is a thirty-one-day collection of my early morning conferences with the Holy Spirit. Rather than a how-to formula for making a connection, this book reflects what I experienced once the connection was made. At the end of each chapter are points to ponder for deeper reflection as a personal devotional or for use as in a group study. In this chaotic world that sometimes seems to be spiraling out of control, God is reaching out to His creation and longs for His creation to respond. My prayer for each reader is that through sharing what the Holy Spirit speaks to my heart, you will hear Him speaking to yours. The Spirit is calling. Can you hear Him?

Heaven Bound? is two books in one. First, it is a story of a middle-aged man who commits a minor offence, and is sentenced to serving a certain amount of community service hours reading to seniors in a retirement home who have trouble seeing. At the home, he strikes up a friendship with a female senior. As the story progresses, they bond, and she becomes the mother he never had, and he becomes the son she always wanted. As their relationship grows, a void in each of their lives is filled. By the end of the story, will we find one alive and one deceased, or perhaps both deceased, and those left behind discussing the reasons why they believe they are heaven bound. You'll find out when you get to the end of the book. Secondly, Heaven Bound? contains twenty-one short stories that the gentleman in the story reads to his female senior when he comes to visit. These stories will appeal to young adults and seniors alike. The types of stories are: drama, suspense, mystery, and lots of humor. The two main characters discuss the stories after each reading, and find out that they are not just entertaining, but there are lessons to be learned that will help them (and us) become better living people. These short stories will appeal to those who don't like long stories, and have trouble keeping track of the plot, and all the characters in it.
