Book Review of
Beyond the Ancient Door
By James A. Durham
Xulon Press
God instructed Pastor James Durham to write this book, not once but twice! That got my attention! I had to read what God insisted must be written.
So desperate was I for the message of the book, that I couldn’t put it down! It was as though I were kneeling before a plate of food and unceremoniously shoveling it in with both hands.
I rejoiced to hear that 3rd Heaven visitations should be the norm for every believer. I thrilled to know that the God of the Universe is inviting me into the throne room of Heaven. What an honor! What a privilege!!
Then I read about the price to get there, and I gulped. No wonder few Christians experience trips to heaven.
The people who experienced visions in the Bible received instruction, guidance and protection, yes. But they also got disciplined and admonished in visions. Yikes! I wondered if I was ready to admonished by God Almighty?
Pastor Durham also mentioned the serious judgment that comes if you are not obedient to the instructions given. Again, I wondered if perhaps I’ve not had these visits to heaven for my own protection.
Character is key for being called up to the Secret Place. Again, I wondered if God is still perfecting my character in preparation for my trips to heaven.
