If you’ve been enjoying the sermon series on Heaven recently, I’d like to recommend a fabulous book to you.

Randy Alcorn really covers just about every question you could conceivably ask about Heaven, and answers them thoroughly from the Bible. That doesn’t make this a really heavy read though. He writes in a bright, engaging way, and you’re sure to be excited as you read it!

Don’t be put off by the size. It’s over 500 pages, but it’s in short chapters, and is very easy to read. It’s one of those books that you can dip into now and again when you want to be inspired, or to find out about something.

One thing I really like about this book is that it’s also quite imaginative. Now don’t get me wrong ion this one: It’s not just that Alcorn is making it up as he goes along. He’s very clear when he’s interpolating from what the Bible says. But his imagination is very much seen through the lens of sound Bible exposition, and that makes it very exciting indeed. The next time you hear someone say, “We can’t begin to imagine what Heaven will be like,” you’ll be able to tell them, “I can!”

Stuart and I have been deeply inspired by this book, and warmly recommend it to anyone who wants to look a bit deeper.

Get it from Book Depository, Amazon or any other half-decent bookshop.
