Kiedy dr Reggie Anderson siedział przy łóżku umierającej pacjentki, wydarzyło się coś naprawdę niesamowitego. Trzymał ją właśnie za rękę, gdy zasłona pomiędzy tym i tamtym światem na chwilę opadła i mógł zobaczyć, co czeka nas po drugiej stronie. Przez myśl mu wtedy nie przeszło, że to jedynie przedsmak życia wypełnionego spotkaniami z Niebem. Przeczytaj niezwykłe opowieści z życia i praktyki lekarskiej doktora Andersona. Jego relacje o tym, co zobaczył, usłyszał i doświadczył z niebiańskiej rzeczywistości, pomogą nam stawić czoło odchodzeniu naszych najbliższych z odwagą i pewnością, że zobaczymy ich ponownie. Dzięki tej lekturze będziemy też mogli przygotować się na nasze własne spotkanie z Niebem.

Wyrusz wraz z autorem w porywającą podróż w poszukiwaniu odpowiedzi na pytania pozostające w samym centrum naszej egzystencji: Czy istnieje życie po śmierci? Czy spotkamy kiedyś naszych bliskich, którzy odeszli do tamtego świata? Jak wygląda Niebo?

„Przepełnione nadzieją historie, opowiedziane przez dra Andersona, rozwiewają wszelkie wątpliwości co do istnienia Nieba. „Bliskie spotkania z Niebem” to książka, która przynosi pocieszenie wszystkim pragnącym ujrzeć śmierć jako przejście, a nie jako ostatnie słowo.”

Foreword
We have known Reggie Anderson for twenty- plus year
s. The Anderson and Chapman families have shared many ups
and downs, creating a bond that few families will ever know.
Our children grew up together, attended the same school, played
on the same teams, and did a lot of life together. So much so that
in 2009, our son Caleb and their daughter Julia got married, thus
continuing our journey. Now if only those kids would surprise us
with a grandbaby!
We’ve experienced much laughter, tears, good times, and hard
times. On a beautiful sunny day in spring 2008, our youngest daugh-
ter made her journey home to heaven because of an accident at our
house. It was truly the day the world went wrong, and our lives came
crashing in on us. Life as we knew it changed forever. Two of the
first phone calls we made were to Karen and Reggie Anderson. They
came to the hospital immediately and have been by our sides on this
incredibly difficult journey ever since. They held us, housed us, and
offered us the cup of compassion over and over in those first days,
weeks, and months that followed. They were the hands and feet of
Christ as we began all over again with our lives.

In the months that followed losing Maria, we began the process of grieving,
healing, and coming to terms with what had happened.
During that time we noticed Reggie writing a lot into what
we assumed was a journal. We discovered at some point that he
was actually beginning to write down the stories of loss in his own
personal life, as well as in his professional life as a medical doctor.
Maria’s death had stirred in him the impulse to write his own story.
As time went by, we would SEE that recording these memories
was helping Reggie heal and reconcile the hard parts of his life.
He began to identify these stories as divine appointments, and the
more he wrote, the more he understood that God had been creating
a much bigger picture than he ever imagined. Reggie also realized
that he had never been alone and that the God of the universe had
been orchestrating an elaborate story of redemption and purpose,
which has now culminated in this deep, rich book.

God clearly speaks to Reggie in the form of miraculous happenings.
Reggie recognizes those miracles for what they are: divine and
deliberate pursuits by God to let Reggie know that he is intimately
cared for. This country doctor from Tennessee is loved by God and
has been blessed with an amazing gift. As Reggie embraces this, he
wants to be faithful to tell others of the amazing lengths to which
God goes so we can truly SEE him.

In Appointments with Heaven, Reggie has woven a beautiful tapestry,
intertwining his own journey with the stories of other people
he has come to know, whether through family, friends, or doctoring.
In a poignant way, Reggie communicates his transformation from
a grieving, scared young boy running from God into an amazingly
intuitive doctor who now runs toward God in times of darkness and
tragedy. From encountering Christ on a camping trip to meeting his
wife, Karen, Reggie truly hears from God in unique ways.
Reggie has offered a precious treasure to you, the reader. First, his
story unveils something you and I need to hear, know, and experience
in our hearts . . . the truth that God pursues us in extreme
and magnificent ways! Second, it provides a glimpse of God’s eternal purposes.
Reggie’s appointments with heaven, woven through
life stories, reveal that God has a plan for each one of us —
a plan that includes pain, surprises, and joy —
and that there is a reason for everything under the sun, if we choose to SEE it.

And now may you, the reader, treasure this book for
what it is . . .
an appointment with heaven that will make you smile and cry as
you soak it in.
Choosing to SEE God in all of life,
Mary Beth and Steven Curtis Chapman

PS As an addendum to this foreword, I (Mary Beth) would like to
remind you that behind every good man, there is an even greater
woman . . . LOL. But in the case of Dr. Reggie Anderson, it’s true.
Karen is a woman who lives out the fruit of the Spirit. I have wit-
nessed her giving of herself to her husband, children, and friends
in amazing and unselfish ways. She has taught me to seek and pur-
sue peace, and she is full of wisdom. Without Karen, there is no
Reggie, and everyone who knows them knows this to be true. I am
indebted to her for the encouragement she has been to me and to
my children. . . . I love you, sweet friend.
