More than one million people from all walks of life have been uplifted and entertained by Heaven Bound, the folk drama that follows, through song and verse, the struggles between Satan and a band of pilgrims on their way down the path of glory that leads to the golden gates. Staged annually and without interruption for more than seventy years at Big Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Atlanta, Heaven Bound is perhaps the longest running black theater production. Here, a lifelong member of Big Bethel with many close ties to Heaven Bound recounts its lively history and conveys the enduring power and appeal of an Atlanta tradition that is as much a part of the city as Coca-Cola or Gone with the Wind.

Heaven Bound? is two books in one. First, it is a story of a middle-aged man who commits a minor offence, and is sentenced to serving a certain amount of community service hours reading to seniors in a retirement home who have trouble seeing. At the home, he strikes up a friendship with a female senior. As the story progresses, they bond, and she becomes the mother he never had, and he becomes the son she always wanted. As their relationship grows, a void in each of their lives is filled. By the end of the story, will we find one alive and one deceased, or perhaps both deceased, and those left behind discussing the reasons why they believe they are heaven bound. You'll find out when you get to the end of the book. Secondly, Heaven Bound? contains twenty-one short stories that the gentleman in the story reads to his female senior when he comes to visit. These stories will appeal to young adults and seniors alike. The types of stories are: drama, suspense, mystery, and lots of humor. The two main characters discuss the stories after each reading, and find out that they are not just entertaining, but there are lessons to be learned that will help them (and us) become better living people. These short stories will appeal to those who don't like long stories, and have trouble keeping track of the plot, and all the characters in it.
