Publisher's summary

Where is God when my suffering seems never-ending? Can I really find joy in this fallen world?

This powerful book confronts these questions with stories of the author's near-death experience, a daughter's suicide attempt, mental illness, and numerous other gripping stories that demonstrate not only that God is present when we need him, but that through our trials we can find true intimacy with him.

Author Randy Kay recounts how, as a former devout agnostic, he survived a near-fatal accident while searching for the truth - and when he met the One he sought to disprove, his journey changed from a life of extreme trials into one of genuine joy. In this book, Kay offers his testimony to show listeners how God uses suffering and brokenness to build an intimate and indestructible relationship with him, while breaking down barriers and ushering the listener into an authentic relationship with the Author of love.

What a blessing!

I wanted to read Revelations of Heaven (his second book of his NDE experience) but I had a tugging (which I know now to be the Homy Spirit) to listen to this one, Dying to meet Jesus.
I really wanted to jump in & know about Heaven…I read the description to this & read the description of the other & for whatever reason I kept coming back to this one & I’m so glad I did! Thank You Lord!
What a blessing this book has been. From the struggles laced with more struggles….to have such joy after all that! Only God can provide.

God bless you & your family!

Thank You Lord for blessing us so much with these testimonies and little glimpses of You & Your might!
All the praise & worship to our God in Heaven!

Generally good content, but very irritating narration

Randy Kay has an amazing testimony and much to offer any listener. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the way this audiobook was narrated in a sing-song type manner, including many mis-pronunciations, was very irritating. Obnoxiously frequent interruptions of the storyline in order to give biblical references (verse numbers) also negatively impacted my ability to enjoy and appreciate this audiobook.

Excellent for skeptics and believers alike. Especially recommend for hard scientists who need probability stats in believe

My brother is a hard scientist, and a Christian, but still skeptical about the more mystical experiences of faith. This book gives scientific statistical proof and validity to Christianity in a way that I haven’t heard before. It outlines how we can be comforted by JC’s presence in our daily lives, guiding each one of us to our individual Devine purpose of living life on earth. It also relays regular people’s experiences of encountering JC in the Heavenly realm in NDEs, healing and being sent back to tell others of what awaits each of us beyond the veil. It is well written, flows well and is confidently and encouragingly delivered . My brother ‘s birthday is in just a few days and He will be sent a copy of this for sure. It is also backed up by scriptural references throughout which will assist anyone who so desires to have a deeper level of study available as a result of reading or listening to it. I was especially struck and affirmed by the author explaining the importance of slowing down and encountering God in the midst of daily silence in prayer as well as within the acts of going about our daily activities and how we can have a simple straightforward conversation with God while going about the multiple Mundane tasks of each day. In praising God as we move through our daily activities, we can turn every activity of our day into an ongoing dialogue of prayer. And the more we do that the more Jesus will reveal Himself to us through the movement and guidance of the Holy Spirit in the simplicity of our daily lives. There is so much more to be gleaned from this little gem of a book. I will want to both listen to and read it as a catalyst for future study over and over again. I highly recommend Dying to Meet Jesus.

Healing and Purpose by Denying Self For Jesus


Book Review By Margaret Lukasik

Dying To Meet Jesus, How Encountering Heaven Changed My Life by Randy Kay is a unique and powerful story about the author’s Near Death Experience that brought him into the presence of Jesus.  While in the emergency room his doctor found 5 blood clots, some of which had caused full occlusion of his pulmonary artery. Randy Kay had died! This isn’t a condition most people would choose, yet as Randy relates his time with Jesus, it’s easy to understand why he had no desire to return to his life on earth. The light of Jesus Christ had indelibly pierced Randy’s heart and soul with infinite joy and peace. Randy clung to Jesus, but it wasn’t his time to die.

Because Randy had been an agnostic for most of his adult life makes his story even more profound.  Theoretically he would no longer face his illness or any future difficulties alone because Jesus was now at the helm of his life with healing and victory.  The question is, would his newly found peace and joy last? 

Surely one can say that it was easy for him to be close with God, after all, he met Jesus! He was fact to face with Him. While meeting Jesus must have a lasting impact upon one’s life, daily living can wear down a person’s resolve to follow Jesus and keep in step with the Holy Spirit. But this wasn’t the case with Randy.  He shares how we cannot fully relate to God without brokenness or a loss of self to follow Christ. Clearly referenced in his story is his determination to have and keep an intimate relationship with God and to help others do the same. He isn’t telling his story to share his experience without a purpose.  He is using it to bring about the fulfillment of Jesus Christ in every believer and to use his testimony to win unbelievers to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and life eternal with God.

Dying To Meet Jesus shares with Christians how to get on the path with God to see Him as a loving Father, to live one’s salvation, to understand why we should pray and why we must allow the Holy Spirit to pray through us, and to discover and develop life purpose by waiting upon God.  He also demonstrates how to overcome the negative memories that keep us from living God’s best and much more. Randy breaks down this information in detail to bring healing and recovery. 

Randy’s credibility for teaching and helping others make positive changes in their lives spans many years with his leadership experience as the CEO of two companies, PACEsetters, a human development firm, and TenorCorp, a strategic development firm.  He reaches out to people from all walks of life through articles, books, television appearances and radio programming. Although I’ve never met him, I can feel his gracious and loving character through his writing that says, I care about you and love you. It’s a warm feeling because I know Randy’s Words are backed with Christ’s love. Dying to meet Jesus is an extraordinary book that takes one on a journey of love, healing and purpose.

The message hit home, the narrator was a bit bland

Narrator was my struggle; monotone and I imagine him being the complete opposite of the author's character. Story was good and valuable to all.

Excellent book

Inspired first by deaths of close friends and family members, then by John Burke’s fantastic and well documented book on near death experiences, I sought to learn more about the afterlife, hence read this book.

Randy does not spend a lot of time on his actual NDE, but enough. He relates to and explains the reason for pain in the world, including physical and mental anguish with real examples, and sets the reader on the path to healing and or hope.

His NDE is super interesting! It is consistent with what we know of Heaven, according to the Bible, and shares commonalities with hundreds (thousands?) of others.

The book is insightful and educational. I highly recommend.

Wonderful NDE

I really enjoyed the deep details of Randy's experience and message from heaven and message from Jesus himself.
