 Heaven is truly out of this world. June 8, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
"Heaven" was very informative; an easy and enjoyable read. I already had an idea from previous Bible study that we'd be more than disembodied spirits floating around on clouds for all eternity, but Randy Alcorn covered a number of issues that I had never even thought about. Like, will there be sports in Heaven, or animals, such as previous, long lost pets.
Randy also gave detailed answers to questions I had about art, music and culture in Heaven. I always wondered if we'd have our own homes in Heaven, or if we'd have jobs. His insight on the work that we'll have in Heaven was also thought provoking.
I also never realized that there would be a new earth and a new heaven, and that the two will merge one day and that we'll reside on the new earth...and he gives plenty of examples from the Bible to support his claims. There is more in the Bible than I previously knew, and Randy helped me see how wonderful God's plan is for our lives. In fact, he refers to the life we're living now as the before-life and the life after we die as the real life; the life that God originally intended for humanity before Adam and Eve sinned.
I highly recommend this book for everyone!
It's amazing how Satan really has deceived the world about God and Heaven. Heaven will offer the believer more than this world ever could. Randy talks about how Satan has deceived people into thinking that sin is fulfilling and that it brings satisfaction, when all it really brings is discontentment and unhappiness.
God has so much planned for those who love and follow Him, it's mind blowing. After reading "Heaven", it makes me wonder why I never heard these things in church. After all, the stuff he talks about in his book are in the Bible, they're just not taught in church.
I plan to send this book to everyone I know. I want everyone to know what God really has planned for us after we die. What an amazing book! I'll be re-reading "Heaven" for years.
Randy did it again. May 17, 2008
Randy managed to do it again. This book is the single best book on the subject of Heaven that I have ever read. Really the book is mislabeled. It should be entitled "New Earth". His extensive use of bible scripture back up nearly every observation he makes. That is what gives this book such authority and weight. I highly recommend this book to every believer.

Heaven
This is a must-read if you, like me, have never thought much about Heaven. As I read through the book I realized that my views on Heaven were more inline with the views of our culture than with scripture. The ideas and concepts presented by Mr Alcorn forced me to really dig into scripture and find out what God says about our eternal dwelling place. This is a delightful book to read, because of the hope and optimism about our eternal dwelling place with God. The end of life has never looked so good.
Excellent take on Heaven May 14, 2008
This is a very good book. It is a little bit of a slow read at first, but uses Scripture well and is so encouraging about Heaven, that it really makes you want to get on with it and be there. I never had a negative view of Heaven (clouds, harps, endless Hallelujahs) but I had reallly not concentrated on the fact that Heaven is the New Earth and that point brings great joy.
BIBLICALLY ACCURATE, BUT NOT EASY TO READ May 8, 2008
For the biblically well-educated, HEAVEN is a book above reproach. It covers in depth, all the questions about a Christian's Eternal Home. However, if you are a beginner, you need to get one of the abridged versions of this same book for use. The other versions cover the basic points without the extras, such as opinions from biblical scholars, and references to other non-biblical sources. In fact, I really would have enjoyed the book more without those other references. The book, HEAVEN, is what I call a hard-read, because you cannot read very much at a time before taking time to assimilate all of it, and I am very well biblically educated. Choose wisely according to your own Biblical knowledge.
