Publisher Description
In celebration of Randy Alcorn’s bestselling book Heaven, comes this six-session guide that offers small groups a chance to study, reflect on, and respond to the biblical truths that offer more than just a glimpse of eternity. They give a solid foundation for the hope that every Christian can have. Alcorn’s clear and comprehensive explanation of Scriptures provides the backdrop for the study, which includes time for worship, prayer, and accompanying video sessions (available separately).
Whether you are grieving the loss of a loved one, longing for peace in a troubled world, or simply curious about your future, this guide will help you dig into what the Bible says about our eternal God, about life after death, and why that matters here and now.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
According to Alcorn (The Treasure Principle; Deadline; Safely Home), the subject of heaven rates as one of the least accurately discussed subjects in the whole of Christendom. Even seminarians fail to give appropriate time and attention to heaven as described throughout the Bible because other themes take pre-eminence both chronologically and preferentially. Alcorn is likewise astounded that the majority of Christians who do take time to consider heaven often possess faulty, nonbiblical assumptions, one of the most common being the misconception of heaven as a place of unending church services. The author, who is also the founder of the nonprofit organization Eternal Perspective Ministries (EPM), has spent years studying what the Bible says about heaven, and in this compelling and comprehensive resource, he offers every conceivable question about heaven, or the "New Earth," as a Christian believer's ultimate destination. Alcorn answers the expected queries on heavenly life as well as quirkier ones: will Christians drink coffee in heaven? Will there be homeownership, and what about sex? Will our pets be in heaven? Evangelical scholars and laypersons alike will appreciate Alcorn's expansive though perhaps long-winded musings on this neglected subject, a real boon in a time when many people are eager to understand what happens after death.
