This book is about the ups and downs of life and the good things and bad things we have to face as we go through life. But more than that, this book is about survival. The author, Joe Wise, has survived seven near death experiences. In one of those experiences he had an "out of body" experience that continues to remain very vivid to him to this day. This book also shares Joe’s long fight and struggle with the disease of alcoholism; and he vividly describes some of his awful experiences in a dual life of an alcoholic and a Christian Pastor. He describes how alcoholism affects innocent people like the family members, friends, and in Joe's case church member Joe completes his book with a strong emphasis on recovery and living a sober life. He goes further to tell how he left the church ministry to develop a counseling ministry that he enjoys. "I Want to go to Heaven ..........but Not Yet" is an honest look at the good and evil in life and how by faith evil can be turned into something very good and powerful. This book will make you laugh and it will make you cry. It is from the heart and it offers much inspiration to those who choose to read it.
