Why a book about heaven? For all the skepticism that abounds in our time, people still want to know what happens after death. Do you know with any certainty where your conscious, thinking, self-aware, communicative self will be? And does it matter, as long as you are in 'heaven'? But the importance of'heaven' does not consist only in it being the alternative to 'hell'. It is not just an abstract future state into which we will slip, it is a physical reality which can give us joy and hope even now as we look toward it. Derek Thomas examines how the Christian can and should think about heaven: 1. We Die ... Then what? 2. Are You Ready? 3. Falling Asleep 4. The Trumpet Shall Sound 5. The New Heaven and New Earth 6. What Will Heaven be Like? 7. Like the Angels Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

"Death is like getting on a train, or bus or an airplane that will take us to heaven" (37). "Knowing what happens to us after we die makes us bold...Christians die with courage because they die with confidence." (52). "Jesus is the prototype of the resurrection body. Paul writes in Phil. 3:21 that God will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body" (106). "Whatever our occupation in heaven, there will be maximum satisfaction, enjoyment, and pleasure, of the kind we have only glimpsed here and now. Laughter, accomplishment, fulfillment-being who we were made to be, achieving our full potential, and discovering a contentment that is wonderful (that is, full of wonder), is what heaven is about" (110).
