A Rumor of Morning
What Death Is, What Waits Beyond It, and Why the Reports Keep Coming Back
by David Bishop
Christian nonfiction exploring what death is, what waits beyond it, and why near-death reports keep coming back — argued on historical grounds through the bodily resurrection of Christ.
The Story
The near-death reports are the rumor — real, widespread, but insufficient on their own. The bodily resurrection of Christ, argued on historical grounds, is the morning that confirms what the rumor only suggested. Across 24 chapters, David Bishop walks skeptics and seekers through what actually happens at the moment of death, the stories people bring back, the empty tomb problem, paradise, the resurrection body, reunion, and the invitation that remains. The book deliberately never rests its case on the reports.
