hadn't read him yet, hoping to soon. Is 'Heaven and Hell' a good introduction?

I'm a Catholic, and I like Swedenborg. It might be better to start with an introductory overview. I had a book that really helped me with understanding Swedenborg, and I can't find it right now, but I think it was by Brian Kingslake, a well-known Swedenborgian author. Swedenborg is not always easy reading. I don't always agree with Swedenborg's views, but I think he's a very interesting study in Christian mysticism. His message, to me, is often one of hope. There's a magazine called "Our Daily Bread" put out by the Swedenborgian Church (not to be confused with several other religious publications by the same name), and some of the articles are well-written and quite understandable.

And some free Swedenborgian articles and information can be found on that site:

The most amazing man I have read about. Scientist, psychic, mystic, author, a truly renaissance man. I highly recommend you visit the website below to watch some online videos regarding Swedenborg. (Preferably you should use Internet Explorer):
