Think you know everything there is to know about the life that lies
beyond this one? Think again. Questions about life beyond death are
always with us. In this classic volume, Leslie Weatherhead answers
personal and important questions about heaven, hell, and the future
God has in store for us. Eternal life is . . . a quality and not
just a quantity; . . . a quality of communion with God that clearly
begins now. You know, people talk about the afterlife and they say,
He s gone to be with God. But he has always been with God, and the
highest heaven doesn t mean that God exists in any fuller measure.
It can only mean that our power of communion deepens. But one of
the marvelous things about the Christian gospel is that the offer
of eternal life is here and now. fromchapter 1"

PSYCHOLOGY, RELIGION AND HEALING. A critical study of all the
non-physical methods of healing, with an examination of the
principles under lying them and the techniques employed to express
them, together with some conclusions regarding further
investigation and action in this field LESLIE D. WEATHERHEAD M.
PREFACE: IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR a young doctor, working in the
desert amongst troops stationed north of Baghdad, talked about his
dreams to two young chaplains far into the night. I was one of the
chaplains. That doctor was a remarkable man. He practised
psychological treat ment of an impressive kind when what was then
called The New Psy chology was very new indeed. He practised
hypnotism, both as a means of investigating the deep mind of the
patient and also of giving him suggestions of courage, confidence
and recovery. Further, he had as great a spiritual faith and power
as I have ever seen. He would go out into the desert, and for hours
he would concentrate his mind on one patient with a kind of
spiritual intention. On returning he would some times find
remarkable results. The patient, previously sleepless, would be
asleep or, discontented, would have found peace of mind or, in
despair, had begun to believe in his own recovery. In one case, a
man apparently unable to walk was walking about the ward. The
doctor claimed that when he had done all he could for a patient by
all the arts of medicine, the turning point an the illness was
sometimes determined by adding this form of prayerful
concentration. I was a very young chaplain at the time, and only
recently set free for chaplaincy duty by the Indian Army, in which
I had enlisted as a combatant officer, I had wanted to be a
medicalmissionary, but neither my family nor I could afford the
cost of medical training. The com bination of healing and religion
had always fascinated me. When this doctor turned to us two
chaplains and said, You padres ought to be doing most of this, I
felt he was right. I remembered that Jesus said, Heal the sick, and
I had always had an uneasy feeling that to relegate all healing to
the material methods of the doctors, splendid though that work is,
did not really answer the challenge of our Lords words. Nor could I
believe that His challenge was met by the psychologists, es
pecially those who had no place for religion in their thought or
practice. I therefore determined to learn all I could about
non-physical ways of healing. When the doctor and my
fellow-chaplain were both killed, I felt an even greater urgency to
try to understand the ways in which psychology, religion and
healing were related. On returning to Madras in 1919 I was lucky in
being allowed to join a small study group of doctors and ministers.
Considering we alHived busy lives, it was a strenuous training, for
we took it in turns to intro duce a new book each week and read a
paper on it which was the basis of discussion. My ministry in
England since I returned in 1922 has only deepened in me the
conviction that many people are suffering, even from sup posedly
physical illnesses, who need not suffer a if we knew how to release
and direct to them the resources of the spiritual world, and Z if
both ministers and doctors were alert and trained to see and to
under stand the early signs of psychological disturbance and to
secure im mediate treatment, ideally in some environment where
physically, psychologically and spirituallythe patient could be
investigated and the whole personality integrated...
It is Wonderful to the Christian Preacher to find how Relevant is
the Gospel Message to the days through which we are Passing. And,
further, that the Darker the days the more Relevent is the Gospel.
