This book presents extraordinary insight into the last moments on earth for a young man as his soul prepares to go into heaven.
When Charles entered his Colonnade apartment in Newark, New Jersey and sat on his couch in front of a television set to watch a documentary, he did not anticipate a visit from the world beyond. There was a sudden presence, an Angel with a simple message “Are you ready for your journey?” Yes, he answered without thinking. The events that followed could only be made of dreams. Charles instantaneously translated into Heaven and found himself in the gathering of Angels and heavenly beings he called “Elders” He recorded spirited conversations with God, with Jesus and angels.
He gave unparalleled details of the throne of God and features of Heaven that no other living man has given till date. He saw a fold of young-looking and vibrant departed family members, in gloriously attractive bodies than they left behind on earth. “I wondered how they acquired new recognizable bodies without blemishes or defects” Said Charles in an interview. He remembered the gathering of hosts of heaven and a garden he dubbed “Eden” because it matched the description in the Bible.
Excerpt
My guide and I turned to my right towards a broader pathway that appeared to have been carved out of multi-colored marble stone. The road seemed to have just been polished and buffed with mechanical instruments but I noticed that it automatically renews itself as we walked along. It felt like we were floating on it but my feet touched the surface with each stride. The surface appeared glassy but it was a solid sculptured stone, beveled on both edges like a highway without shoulders. There were many groups of people walking ahead of us and some behind us but it was only my angel guide and I walking by ourselves. In the distance I saw what I thought was the same light that absorbed Jesus moments earlier. It was a great light with very high intensity that might have been a million times the brightness of the sun, but the light had the softness of a full moon. The brightness covered everywhere and my body readily accepted it. The brilliance and purity of the light intensified as we moved along. The body and clothes of those ahead of us glow and reflected like huge sheet of ice (glazier) in sunlight. More and more as we moved closer, the brilliance intensified with tenderly soothing invitation. I was able to turn away from the first light uneventfully, but I discovered that every soul that saw this light couldn’t turn away from it. It magnetizes the souls and my Spirit helplessly flow towards it. I was transfixed on it as if the source had a magical power that kept us moving towards it like the earth’s gravitational pull.
The dazzling brightness and the awesome beckons it presented were undeniable to the soul and irresistible to my Spirit. Although the radiating intensity and the luster of the light seemed greater than that of the sun, it did not produce heat. I could stare directly at the rays without having to adjust my focus. I had a supernatural awareness of my surroundings as I could clearly see everything and all the individuals ahead of me without difficulty. I wouldn’t say irrefutably that I was only seeing with my eyes, because my soul completely absorbed the energy. I could see everywhere and everything without effort as if my fingers, toes and each hair in my body had suddenly become eyes. I don’t have the words to explain the phenomenon.
The Spirit said to my soul, “Welcome to the dwelling of God” The people moving ahead of us became brighter and brighter in their appearance as they got closer to the proximity of the throne until they were all absorbed and became one with the ultra-bright light. I couldn’t tell if we appeared the same way to those behind us as we moved closer too. The light was so engaging, like the “Tree of Life” on my second visit except that it was several times more captivating. Once it captured my attention and like those ahead of me, we did not look back. I also noticed that a group of nine merged with us but we did not rise off the ground like our predecessors. We came to a stop few yards away from the front of the throne while many of those behind us went straight into the graceful light.
The luster of the light surrounded us completely as I stood almost shoulder to hip with the angel by my side. Suddenly it was apparent that I was standing by the throne of God.

Great Read
The title says it all . . . Called to heaven with blended stories of visits from angels. SUMMONED - is simply Heaven through the eyes of another common man who was TAKEN up to be a witness for Heaven and the activities in the city of God. Charles gave unfettered details of a world that parallel the earth but much superior and more peaceful, compared to our chaotic earth. Charles’ story will speak to readers’ innermost being and touch transcendent parts of their mind. The descriptive details will stimulate readers’ spirit-man and prompt your soul to re-engage with the divine. As it was in Four Glimpses of Heaven, SUMMONED will inspire readers to long for Heaven while they're still here on earth. This book is a rare gem!
I Loved this
This book gave me new hope that Elijah’s chariot was a plausible story. Translational experience without tasting death had been a hard pill to swallow, but with this account, I can rest easy.
Makes Sense
“Summoned” is a book of many noble ideas we call harmony of existence in Buddhist religion. Suggestion of a veil makes sense and I tried to understand the detailed activities in Heaven, but I don’t see why Christianity is centered on life in Paradise. - Tom Le (Ha Noi, Vietnam)
Are you still angry at God for having lost a loved one due to sickness or unexpected circumstances? This book will give you a better understanding of death, God’s role in it, and what decision is before each of us that would allow us to see them agai
