Baxter presents a study of heaven, hell, and life beyond death that addresses the contemporary confusion over universalism, New Age spirituality, and Eastern mysticism.

Baxter examines each of the ten crucial words of John 3:16 as well as the Sonship of Christ, the fate of the lost, and the nature of eternal life.

Baxter presents a treasure-house of biographies of biblical characters including Elisha, Elijah, King Saul, Daniel, Gideon, Balaam, the apostle Paul, Lazarus, the rich young ruler Ananias, and Simon of Cyrene.
