(from the Introduction)
When contemplating their own mortality, most people neglect to factor in the Bible's teachings about life and death. Consequently, they go through their daily life unaware of the two disparate realities that together define their existence: one temporal, the other eternal. The temporal reality encompasses the material world situated in space-time, accepted as real without question because it is perceived with the physical senses, such as sight, sound, and touch. In contrast, the eternal reality is more challenging to discern since it is intangible. It manifests as the inner spiritual voice that establishes a connection between an individual and the supernatural, bridging the gap from the temporal world to a realm that can only be perceived by the spirit.

The notion that the spirit does not perish with the body may seem counterintuitive and is admittedly unprovable, but it gains credibility by mirroring universal law. For instance, the law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. The Bible expands on that material law by positing that a person's spiritual 'energy' is not annihilated by physical death but is freed from the constraints of space and time, transitioning into eternity intact.
