Life Everlasting

Life Everlasting is about heaven—our final salvation. In looking forward to our participation in the new heavens and new earth, we often seek information in the wrong places, so what does the Bible actually say?

“Neither superficial nor highly technical, this new series of volumes on important Christian doctrines is projected to teach Reformed theology as it is most helpfully taught.”

—Wayne Grudem, Phoenix Theological Seminary


The Explorations in Biblical Theology series addresses the need for quality literature that attracts believing readers to good theology and builds them up in their faith. Each title in the series combines solid content with accessibility and readability—a valuable addition to the library of any college student, thoughtful lay reader, seminarian, or pastor.


This book seeks, on the basis of Scripture, to inform believers about heaven (the new heavens and the new earth), to form them further into the image of Christ, and to assure them of their place in heaven. It establishes a biblical-theological framework through which we can better understand heaven—and shows how it produces changes in our everyday lives, not simply when we face death or experience suffering.


“Robert and Dan help us gain a view of heaven that is both hopeful and biblical.”

—Darrin Patrick, Vice President, Acts 29 Network; Lead Pastor, The Journey, St. Louis


“What a delight to read. . . . This book carefully unfolds the biblical teaching on heaven in all of its depth, breadth, and wonder.”

—Stephen J. Wellum, Editor, The Southern Baptist Journal of Theology



“What makes this book so appealing and powerful is that it is grounded in a biblical view of heaven and the afterlife, rather than the personal speculations of those who claim to have gone there.”

—Sam Storms, Senior Pastor, Bridgeway Church, Oklahoma City


“Clear, timely, and important. It is biblical, too, both in content and in structure, as it refrains from speculation and highlights the Bible’s own key themes of heaven.”

—Christopher Morgan, Dean of the School of Christian Ministries, California Baptist University, Riverside
