In what is probably the most comprehensive and definitive work on heaven, written to date, the author invites us to a study of a most pleasing subject: what is heaven like? God has put aspirations for eternity in our hearts. Alcorn brings eternity to light in ways that will surprise you, spark your imagination, and change how you live today. If you always thought of heaven as a realm of disembodied spirits, clouds, and eternal strumming of harps, you're in for a surprise.
This is a book about real people with real bodies enjoying close relationship with God and others, eating, drinking, working, playing, traveling, worshiping, and discovering a New Earth, made as God created it, and without us corrupting it.
According to Alcorn, the subject of heaven rates as one of the least accurately discussed subjects among all Bible topics. Even pastors and seminarians fail to give appropriate time and attention to heaven as described throughout the Bible because other themes take pre-eminence both chronologically and preferentially. Alcorn has also noticed that most Christians who do take time to consider heaven often possess faulty, nonbiblical assumptions, one of the most common being the misconception of heaven as a place of unending church services.
The author, who is also the founder of the nonprofit organization Eternal Perspective Ministries (EPM), has spent years studying what the Bible says about heaven, and in this compelling and comprehensive resource, he offers every conceivable question about heaven, or the "New Earth," as a Christian believer's ultimate destination. Alcorn answers the expected queries on heavenly life as well as quirkier ones:
* Will there be home ownership there?
* Will our pets be in heaven?
* Will Christians drink coffee in heaven?
We all have our own questions about what heaven will be like. Randy Alcorn helps answer some of these questions by sharing his extensive research on the topic--all from a biblical perspective. His writing will surprise readers and stretch their thinking beyond anything they've imagined heaven to be like. And it will help readers strive for eternity while they're living on earth.
