"Preparing for Heaven: A Guide for Going Home to God is a needed message for every believer. As Christians face the reality of death, Steve’s book provides the greatest comfort – as it is a biblical tool to prepare the saints for the reality of their certain future. Preparing for Heaven is a comprehensive and refreshing presentation of the believer’s eternal resting place. It exposes the dangers of believing man’s wisdom about heaven and offers the enlightened scriptural details preparing a believer on what to expect as they pass through death’s door. Steve answers the questions every believer desires to know about their heavenly future."
Dr. Chris Mueller, Teaching Pastor, Faith Bible Church (Murietta, CA)
"Solomon tells us that God has set eternity in the heart, and nowhere is that more evident than in the growing plethora of books and movies about near-death experiences—people who supposedly have been to the other side and have returned to tell us about it. But are these reports trustworthy? Cutting through the cacophony of these often-conflicting accounts, Dr. Swartz compares them with a detailed picture of heaven and how to get there from the only trustworthy source—the Scripture. Preparing for Heaven is an exciting and compelling read. Not only will it enable you 'to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account of the hope that is within you,' it will also increase your eagerness to get there."

"Dr. Swartz provides a thoroughly biblical and delightfully readable overview of both personal eschatology (a Christian’s individual future) and God’s 'eternal plan of the ages' eschatology (all true believers’ forever future). Christians will find this comprehensive study to be an immediately comforting and encouraging 'must read', I warmly commend it without reservation."
