Our views of eternity in heaven with God can seem bland at times. We envision ourselves floating around playing a harp while little babies fly around us. People want to know where they will go after they die. It is a simple curiosity, but people do not want such a pop- culturized belief of heaven.
Oh, and the questions never end at where we will go when we die does it? It always leads to who we will meet there and what we will be able to do. Will there be coffee in heaven? Yes, you know you were thinking of something as petty as that.
Heaven by Randy Alcorn is just the book you want so that you can answer all of your longing questions. The great thing is that anyone can pick up this book and learn about the Christian biblical heaven whether they are believers or not.
So where will your years of servitude to the Lord land you. Warren explains everything from the theology of heaven to the questions we can always wanted to answer.
Even though you may have grown up thinking that heaven was beyond reach, Heaven will make you think otherwise. Heaven will no longer be that mystery you have wanted to solve. It will be more real to you than it has ever been and it will be understandable.
I am amazed by the research Warren conducted. It is lovely how much he was able to answer simply by using the Bible. Even those of us who read the Bible may forget what we read. We get stuck in the heavens of pop culture instead of the new earth God told us about in Revelation. Thanks to Rick Warren these answers are blatantly at the tip of your fingers..
The book was divided in three parts. I like the way it was broken down so I could sit down and really think. It is a somewhat challenging read but you will feel absolutely accomplished once you have read it. You may even live your life differently.
