In the most comprehensive and definitive book on Heaven to date, Randy invites you to picture Heaven the way Scripture describes it--a bright, vibrant, and physical New Earth, free from sin, suffering, and death, and brimming with Christ's presence, wondrous natural beauty, and the richness of human culture as God intended it. This is a book about real people with real bodies enjoying close relationships with God and each other, eating, drinking, working, playing, traveling, worshiping, and discovering on a New Earth. Earth as God created it. Earth as he intended it to be. The next time you hear someone say, "We can't begin to image what Heaven will be like," you'll be able to tell them, "I can." "Other than the Bible itself, this may well be the single most life-changing book you'll ever read." --Stu Weber "This is the best book on Heaven I've ever read." --Rick Warren "Randy Alcorn's thorough mind and careful pen have produced a treasury about Heaven that will inform my own writing for years to come." --Jerry B. Jenkins "Randy does an awesome job of answering people's toughest questions about what lies on the other side of death." --Joni Eareckson Tada About the Author Randy Alcorn is an author and the founder and director of Eternal Perspective Ministries, a nonprofit ministry dedicated to teaching principles of God's Word and assisting the church in ministering to unreached, unfed, unborn, uneducated, unreconciled, and unsupported people around the world.
