‘What happens when you die?’
The words burst out of young Matthew’s mouth louder than he intended. This is the start of Matthew Peterson’s journey. Like all of us he wanted to know the unknowable.
His dad sets him straight. You’re nine years old now and should know the truth. When you die it, all ends, ashes to ashes dust to dust. ‘Heaven is for kids and women who can’t live with the truth, or people who need a crutch. Once you die, there is nothing.’
Seeing Clearly: A View from Heaven delivers a simple compelling narrative conveying deep, important truths. What if our existence is like a three act play with this thing, we call life, just being act one, death being act two, and eternity as act three? Join Matthew Peterson on this journey from life to death to eternity where he finally finds ‘Home’ a place he always wanted to be but always seemed to elude him while he was living.
Packed with vivid word pictures and masterful character development, is primarily a glimpse into heaven and the character of God. It’s an enthralling tale of stubbornness, love, tragedy, grace and forgiveness with some fascinating twists and turns, interwoven intricately into a tantalizing tapestry by a master storyteller.
The book is as entertaining as it is valuable.
Surprisingly, the lighthearted moments in this book convey some of the deepest truths. And among the compelling sub-narratives tucked within the text are the stories of the Roman soldier Marcus and an Aesop-like tale about Carl the caterpillar.
If you have been praying for a loved one for a long time who has not yet received Christ, this book will encourage you. It also shares rare insight into the character of heaven, as seen by the author. It sheds light as well on the character of God and His love for the lost.
Read Seeing Clearly-for enjoyment, for inspiration, and to build your faith.

Об авторе
Unlike most authors Rick Mapson really didn’t like English, hated spelling, and because of that he didn’t like to write. He never thought of becoming a writer. He loved Math and Logic and that is why he has been in the data processing field for the past 40 years, but he has always been a storyteller especially to his four children, family, and friends. Then over twenty years ago Matthew pushed his way into Rick’s thoughts and so started Rick’s journey from storyteller to writer and after twelve years of labor ‘Seeing Clearly — A View from Heaven’ was born. A novel of one man’s journey from this life to Heaven. Rick has also written many of his children’s stories and hundreds of poems. A lot of his writings have twists and turns that may unlock areas of life that you have never noticed or thought much about. You will laugh and cry (a lot of crying) on what it means to be human. Join Rick on this journey as he plans on publishing many of his works over the next few years. Rick’s Poem ‘Clarity, Thought, and Purpose’ won ‘Best Poem’ at the 2017 Colorado Christian Writers Conference.
