Bridging the Gap: A Spiritual Journey to Heaven and Back

Rate this book
How does one transcend mankind to a heavenly being, the known to the eternal mystery? One spring day in 1971, Calvin Cassady, a southwest Missouri teenager, was a victim in an unexplained automobile accident on a curvy Ozark mountain roadway. The impact caused the car that Calvin was a passenger in to burst into flames, plunging him into a clouded existence that included a walk through the valley of the shadow of death, leaving him on the threshold of eternal life. Eternity surrounded him and filled him with absolute certainty of heaven. Standing before the Master and all his creation Calvin became troubled with the vision of his judgment and the life that he brought with him. Consumed with feelings of emptiness, he needed fulfillment.

Bridging the Gap is the story of that miraculous event and the life of fulfillment that followed. Experience that fulfillment through Calvin's spouse, his children, his students, his friends, and through the lives of total strangers as they became players in the great spiritual adventures of his life. Observe as the Holy Spirit guides Calvin through natural disasters and serious health issues, and feel the love as he takes into the mission field.

Bridging the Gap celebrates the ordinary and illustrates the extraordinary results that occur during a life lived for Christ. While you continue your spiritual journey, remember that faith, hope, and love conquer all. May your journey be fruitful, and may God's peace be with you.

I really enjoyed this book. I've been dealing with my grandmother's death and there were parts in this book that really helped me find peace with it. I think the author did a great job telling his experiences in a way that gave the reader the full effect without making the book unnecessarily long.

Inspiring

I received the Kindle version of this book free in exchange for my honest review. I really enjoyed this one and it was very inspiring. This is about a man's spiritual journey to heaven and everything he does in his life after. God speaks to him and gives him a purpose. This book was very enjoyable and enlightening.

Mr. Cassady's book is a true inspiration. His experiences, his ups and downs, are all told in a true testament to God and His workings to us all. I don't think that any reader who reads this book can fail to learn and be inspired by what Mr. Cassady has written.

A story of a man who had a spiritual awakening after a terrible accident. I don’t necessarily believe on life after death, but who knows? It could be real. Thanks for the free read!!!
