We'd like to know what you think about our Travel Guide to Heaven web site. Please leave your comments in this public guest book so we can share your thoughts with other visitors.
In the few short months that have passed since A Travel Guide to Heaven was published, I have received thousands of letters, emails and faxes from people who have read the book. The overwhelming majority of these have been extremely positive. Some have been beautiful and heartbreaking and have spoken about the pain of losing loved ones. Some have been respectful yet critical of my theology. A couple have been downright nasty! (But these were usually from folks who are repelled by the whole notion of God and Heaven to begin with.) No matter what the letters have said, though, ALL of them have been deeply appreciated. Whenever someone takes the time to write to me, I feel it is a great compliment, and I want to take the opportunity now to thank you.
Unfortunately, because of my heavy travel schedule, and because of the large volume of correspondence I am getting, it is literally impossible for me to personally respond to everyone. I want you to know, however, that I read every single comment that is posted on this contact page, every morning, no matter where in the world I happen to be. I read all of them with respect, interest, and gratitude. Some of them encourage me greatly, and give me a much-needed lift, as I make my way through these busy, exciting, but sometimes hectic days. Thank you all, again, very much.

Anthony I must express my heartfelt and deep gratitude for your creative work in faith. I am on a personal transformation crusade seeking the word of God as well as growing in faith. I grew up as a Catholic Christian but middle age has taken me to seek further and fill my Spirit. Personal transformation to developed my creativity powers aand seeking a new purpose, meditating in the oneness of the Heavenly Father thru the Holy Ghost. Browsing in the Spirit book's section of Barnes & Nobles, I came across your wonderful book; you not only entertained me and got my full interest and attention you also delivered me in full delight and opened so many channels of vision of perfect eternal pleasures experiencing the Glory of Paradise. As I sit here I can feel the Joyful and excuberant continous celebration. I have a young son presently in the Air Force plus I work for one of the National Airlines, so the cover of the book which took me by suprise because I was not focus in on traveling books I was in my Creative and Christian section of the book stores. A deep heartfelt thank you have delighted my senses and imagination. Opened my gates of faith and completely fulfill and satisfied what I need when I was taken away into that Spirit Journey. Your style, your sensativity completed what my Spirits need at that moment. My words can not express how much fun, pleasure and inspiration I received from your Spirit's gift and creativity. In full gratitude!

I am both a lawyer and a seminary trained minister. I thoroughly enjoyed your exciting book. It is just what Christians need to read in order to understand that life on this earth is not the total package. There is much more waiting for us, which you document very well with scripture. Every person who claims to be a Christian should read this book. I think your book has yet to realize its full potential. Thanks

Dear Mr. DeStefano, Not sure about Mary Ellen's comments below. But I AM sure that after taking a walk thru your inspiring website and reading your book PLUS seeing the section on your site under "Reviews" I have to admit she is a brave soul to dispute or question (throw the baby out with the bath water) the wonderful praise, reviews and endorsments...by the way HOW on earth did you get all those VIP endorsments? You must be very blessed to have your book doing as well as it is. Well in Christian and in Regular...good for you. About your book...I love the book...my family loves the book and I must say that it is being used in a mighty way for the Lord's work. Winning hearts and minds and leading the 1000s to His love and mercy for them. Congrats and keep up the great work...we look forward to the next book! Is there one? Keep up the great work, Jesh

Again, I do not agree with your statement, found on page 59 , 3 sentence "After we complete our life on Earth, we are judged by God" . Not so. We JUDGE OURSELVES!! God does NOT judge us!!! According to the thousands of NDErs (Near Death Experience people), they reported that after their "death" they went to heaven, and when going through their life reviews, they JUDGED themselves, when they saw the hurt they inflicted upon people , they experienced their emotions, and got angry at themselves for such acts. Their is an organization called IANDS, International Association of Near Death Society, that can confirm this. If you go to www.neardeathexperience.com you will see many books that confirms that we are not judged by God. Remember, God is all LOVING, "not a fearful God" as stated by the Catholic Church. Thank you again for listening.

On page 59 , top paragraph, you stated "We LIVE ONLY ONCE AND DIE ONLY ONCE". This is not true. We live many lives. There are many scientific documents to support that fact. In additon the bible believes in reincarnation. If you go to St. John, Chapter 3, verses 6 through 13, it states "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the spirit is spirit. Marvel not wthat I said unto thee, Ye must be born again ." Go see for yourself. Nicodemus asked Jesus , "How can these things be?" Jesus answered, "Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? Verily, verily, (which means YES) I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you OF heavenly things? And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, EVEN the Son of man which is in heaven." Also many famous authors and scientists have used hypnosis to prove that we do in fact get born again , through reincarnation. The purpose is to learn soul lessons for soul perfection. There is Dr. Brian Weiss, who wrote MANY LIVES, MANY MASTERS, and Morey Bernstein"s book The Search for Bridey Murphy", Please note that in the first century after Christ, the Pope Constinople took the word Reincarnation out of the Bible to give the catholic Church more power. Benjamin Franklin, Whitman, Longfellow, Poet Laureate, all are firm believrs of reincarnation. Please keep an open mind. Thank you,.

Your "Travel Guide to Heaven" is such a blessing and such fun to read. Before reading it, I had often wondered what we would find to do that would fill up eternity. Now I understand how beautifully God is preparing innumerable exciting things for us to do and see. Seeing dear friends and relatives again will really be wonderful. And I am so glad to learn that animals will be there. Have you made an audio version of your book? My 90 year old sister is blind and I would love to send her a cassette version. Thank you again for your book. I plan to share it with many others

Let´s pray for all the victims in the Spain train terrorist attack and also their perpetrators, I cannot conceive how can such murderers repent of their crimes and get the forgiveness of God. They´re almost sure doomed to hell (and the most ironic thing is that they´re thinking they´ll go to paradaise with Allah)

I thoroughly enjoyed your book. Since my son is a pilot, a believing Christian, I gave it to him for his birthday. It was very easy reading and inspiring. Will probably buy the book for others.
