The Gravity of Heaven

Heaven will come to earth, if you will become who you really are.


No matter your starting point, The Gravity of Heaven offers a clear path to reclaiming your identity – by uncovering the source of true identity itself, found in one word: Father. Brian Sherman, with a conversational style that breaks down deep concepts into simple language, clears away the confusion and uncovers the truth in scripture about what God intended when He dreamed of you – and what Jesus came to reveal and restore to us about our original purpose.


If you’re struggling to find clarity about who you are, the problem isn’t you. The problem is the search itself. Identity – true identity – is not something you can “find” or figure out. It’s not a puzzle, riddle, or a problem you solve. You can try, and nearly everyone does, but you will never discover the central truth of who you are on your own. Truth is a person…and He is a son. Meaning, he reflects the Father. He is “true” because He is like the Father. True identity can only be bestowed, and only the Father can do that. Only He knows your name.


In this book, readers will discover the theme of sonship – God-given, Father-derived, image-bearing identity – throughout the Bible. God meets humanity, one person after another, and reveals a startling truth to each: Heaven knows who you are, but you don’t. This is the human condition: we’ve all learned to be someone – one who can survive and “make it” in the world on our own. We’ve each learned to be a self. But we were each really made to be a son, a heaven-reflecting image of the Father. There is a startling difference. All of our daily struggles can be rooted in that one simple truth: be a self, or be a son.


The Gravity of Heaven will invite you to connect heaven and earth in your life. It’s what you were born to do. Peter walked on water, a gravitational impossibility – unless it wasn’t. He joined Jesus in another reality, walked in heaven on earth for a few moments, then began a transformation into his true identity. It’s all connected, and you, too, must reclaim and walk in your heaven-and-earth bridging identity: your sonship.
