ABC Special to Look For Heaven

No, I don't quote Barbara Walters in my book...

Dec. 5, 2005 — For centuries humanity has looked to the sky and asked profound questions: Where is heaven and how do we get there? People have dreamed of heaven, dedicated their lives to the promise of heaven, even martyred themselves — committing heinous acts of terrorism — for the promise of paradise. Is heaven simply a myth dreamed up to give lives meaning, or is it a real place?

Anchored by Barbara Walters, "Heaven — Where Is It? How Do We Get There?" explores the meaning of heaven with religious leaders of the major faiths, scientists, people who say they believe in heaven because they've been there, celebrities who are vocal about their beliefs, and even with terrorists. The special broadcast airs Tuesday, Dec. 20, from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. ET on ABC. continued...
