ADIN'S TUTORIAL

Although Joseph White regularly attended his Christian church he was a skeptical believer who openly questioned most Biblical and theological teachings. During the 89th year of his life however things would change dramatically for him following an unexpected dreamlike visit from persons whose stated purpose was to prepare him for an important personal journey he would soon embark on. Less than an hour after Joe awoke from his vivid dream he suffered a heart attack at his retirement home then a second and fatal attack several hours later while he was hospitalized. After Joe passed through the swirling tunnel toward the glowing light he arrived on an uncharted planet where he met a spiritual guide named Adin whose purpose was to prepare him for entrance into the Heaven community. Over the course of several days Adin surprised and awed Joe not only by the things he taught him about God and Heaven or the amazing sights and miracles he showed him but also by Adin's playful sense of humor that blended seamlessly with his knowledge and wisdom. Eventually though Joe learned that Adin was hiding a mystery from him. That awareness interfered with Adin's ability to guide Joe and another guide Emerson was substituted to continue Joe's spiritual tutelage. Although Joe worked well with Emerson several of his questions were unanswered including: What was behind Adin's mystery? Why exactly did he have to leave Joe? What surprises lay in store for Joe when he entered the Heaven community? Thankfully Joe eventually found answers to all his questions during and after his passage to Paradise.
