What is Heaven really going to be like?
What will we look like?
What will we do every day?
Won't Heaven get boring after a while?
We all have questions about what Heaven will be
like, and after twenty-five years of extensive research,
Dr. Randy Alcorn has the answers.
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.
God has put eternity in our hearts. Now, Randy Alcorn
brings eternity to light in a way that will surprise
you, spark your imagination, and change how you
live today.
If you've always thought of Heaven as a realm of
disembodied spirits, clouds, and eternal harp strumming,
you're in for a wonderful surprise.
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.
And the next time you hear someone say, "We
can't begin to imagine what Heaven will be like,"
you will be able to tell them, "I can."

Heaven:
Reader Responses
One year ago my 17-year-old son went to be with the Lord. It has been a year of crying and grief beyond what you could imagine. But my husband and I have seen the Lord in this year. He has lifted us up and carried us through. Many of our friends and co-workers have told us they don't know how we are getting through the pain. We continually tell them, "It is the Lord that is getting us through." I have had much comfort from reading Randy's book Heaven. I long for it now. I didn't really understand it as our final place of refuge. I long for the day that I will live in a dwelling place next to my "baby" and share meals and adventures with him again. The bottom line is that we have learned that the Lord uses our suffering to bring glory to Himself. Whether we like it or not! - A. S.
