I was saddened when he died but was so glad I had the opportunity to get to know him ...
This book could change your life. I was intrigued and uplifted by Bro John's unblog and it set my life on a different course. I was saddened when he died but was so glad I had the opportunity to get to know him through his blogs. I am now serving a senior mission with my wife in Chile and some credit must go to this inspiring man for listening and believing that miracles do happen and then writing about them. This mission experience has taught me that the things he has said about listening to the Spirit and following the promptings is vital for each of us. I leaned heavily on things I learned in the blogs and in his book, "Following the Light of Christ..." to be able to speak and understand the language and then teach the people here. Finally with most of the 23 month mission completed, I felt that I needed a refresher course on how to move to the next level (and also to keep from falling back one). I downloaded this book and already (same day) read a third of it. So much here is new and just as inspiring as the blogs I read. It is hard to describe the joy and surge of excitement as I read his experiences and look back on my own. He is such an example to me and his writings are so powerful and inspiring. It is hard to put into words the impact his writings have had on my life. I know that this life is a test and I hope that I can endure half as well as he did.
A Great book to read just a few pages out loud ...
A Great book to read just a few pages out loud and ponder. Even my kids like the stories and my husband wants me to read while driving just a few entries at a time. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend. Very inspired and uplifting as he writes his thought and journey towards his returning to heaven.
Much more important than "Visions of Glory"
I love John Pontius. This is a man who knows what he is talking about. Many people have read Visions of Glory, which is worth reading. But what really matters is obtaining your own relationship with Christ rather than reading about another person's relationship. John's other books, including this one, show the way to do that. The way is shown in the scriptures. John isn't reinventing the gospel, he's just helping us see the fulness of it that many of us have been missing. Read this book, and then dive into the scriptures. Pray like your soul depends on it. Come to know Christ.
Inspiration beyond understanding
I am very grateful to Terri for unblogging John's soul through this book. He was a truly special man. After reading this and other books of his, I feel as if his soul was laid our before me. I feel him and love him as if he was my brother, even though I never met him. This book made me mourn his passing in my heart, even though it happened quite a few years ago. He showed me how to draw very close to the Savior and I will definitely be re-reading this book. There is a lot of good in it, but one major message to all that ever want to be a true disciples of The Lord Jesus Christ - flawless obedience, and discipleship of Christ above anything else. If we are determined on this path, the true miracles will happen in our life. I am grateful that the Lord opened the knowledge included in John's books to me. Father has been reshaping my life, since a few months ago. I felt changed and lately decided to consecrate my life to the Lord's service, then I read about this process in John's books. It is amazing to have clarity and understanding why and what is happening to me. "Journey to the veil" is a special book that will bring a lot of hope into your life and will open your understanding to possible events that either already happened, or will soon happen in your life. Keep your eye single to the glory of God, and always obey the promptings of the Holy Ghost, no matter how inconvenient they may seem.
I absolutely love this book
I absolutely love this book! Very inspiring and thought provoking; leading to a bigger desire to hear His voice! My only issue is the printing of every single, even numbered page is of poor quality, which is distracting to the reader. It is very light and when I turn the page I cringe and struggle to read it. However, I love the book so much, I don't want to return it. Hopefully they will have better quality control in the future, especially since I just ordered 3 more copies as presents!
Reading this book came at a perfect time in my life
Reading this book came at a perfect time in my life. I'm going through a hard time. My sister has cancer and is going through chemo but she is not doing well. Reading about John tell what he is going through and the spiritual experiences he is having that is helping him grow spiritually is helping me deal with what is happening to my sister. It is helping me be stronger for her and realize what joy is awaiting for her when she goes through the veil. Thank you John for listening to the Spirit and writing your Unblog. And to Terri who was willing to have it printed.
Journey to the Veil well worth your time.
Anyone buying this book just needs to understand that this is a book of many, many entries by the author centered on the gospel of Jesus Christ and how it affected the author. If you buy this book with the understanding that one entry was written at one time and the next one at a different time, and, can explain/talk about different topics, then you won't be disappointed. There are topics and stories written that are easy to understand and digest and other topics that require more thinking and pondering. I enjoyed both approaches because it helped me stretch my mind and desire to learn more about the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Excellent Read
Anyone can find the good/bad in any novel. The reality is that as long as you stay true to you beliefs and find the good in others sharing their testimonies of a certain gospel you will be able to learn and grow from others experiences. Allow the Holy Spirit to testify to you whether it is true or not. Personally I feel he experienced all the things he says he has. Besides who am I to judge him. If it helps me move forward in my life than great! If not than I just move on in search for the next spiritually uplifting book out there! I am grateful to those who have shared with us their experiences. Thanx to the authors!
Five Stars
Possibly the best book ever after the scriptures.
Excellent book!
If you're interested in the life after, this book will tell you a person's experience beyond the veil to the other side and returning. I read the book all the way through feeling good about what I had just read. Captivating and well written. Not boring to read.
