あらすじ・解説
Join Teddy Newman as he unexpectedly dies and goes to Heaven at the young age of 40. How did he get there? Was he a saint, or just your average well-behaved guy? Is religion necessary? It couldn't be: Teddy was not religious.
So what is it like up there? Who do you meet? What conversations do you have? What are events like? How do you make a living and buy the things you need? How does one afford housing? How does it make you feel? If you die at an old age, do you remain old forever? Is it a lonely place? Is it possible to make love? Can you enjoy the occasional drink? Or is the whole experience one never-ending mass service?
Is the place governed and overrun by religious elites (as we are often made to believe)? If so, what religion? What if you were brought up with different or even no beliefs at all - can you still get in? Who is really in charge? Do we all make it there by default? If not, what is the alternative?
These are just a few of the vexing questions this novel seeks to address in fun and unexpected ways. Forget what you learned at Sunday school...Teddy Newman provides a class of its own, and it just may be closer to reality than anything you have been able to find in another book, by any source. Come along on a journey to Heaven, Hell, then back to Earth, and everything in between. Take a look into Teddy Newman's Heaven and question some long held beliefs. Or perhaps gain a new perspective on a topic usually reserved for old, dusty tomes written by people who have been dead for centuries.
More than anything, this novel should get you to think and ponder an all-important theme that is often overlooked by the "live for the here and now" philosophies predominant in modern culture. We all must pass eventually. What will your Heaven be like? The answers may surprise you.
