SYNOPSIS
For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one that is coming. – Hebrews 13:14
Is heaven a reality to you, or does it still appear far off and uncertain?
The goal of this book is to whet your appetite for heaven. A careful look at Scripture reveals that heaven is what every born-again believer is longing for. Our time on earth is only in a temporary dwelling place, and heaven is the true home of all God’s children. A study of heaven can change how you approach each day, and even how you view others around you. As real as this life is, we are assured that heaven is just as real. While we must not neglect our present God-given duties, we must at the same time be preparing for our future home and should even be looking forward with great anticipation to our eternal home.
About the Author
Dwight L. Moody, determined to make a fortune, arrived in Chicago and started selling shoes. But Christ found him, and his energies were redirected into full-time ministry. And what a ministry it was. Today, Moody’s name still graces a church, a mission, a college, and more. Moody loved God and men, and the power of a love like that impacts generations.
REVIEW
We will never know the truth of Heaven until we see it with our own eyes. Until then, this book is a good place to start.
I received this book FREE from the author, publisher, distributor, or other source. My only obligation is to provide a fair and honest review.
How interesting. We just watched the film A Case for Heaven and a Case for Hell (Lee Stroebel) and are doing a 5 week bible study on it with our small group. In the film he interviews the man who wrote “Imagine Heaven.” Both of these start with near death experiences and relate them to scripture. Moody’s straightforward teaching from a biblical viewpoint might be a great balance.

This makes me think of Building 429’s song, “Where I Belong” – we weren’t designed for life outside the garden – and I so yearn for home!

Thanks for this perspective reminder, Barbara. I can get so caught up in this season of preparing to launch boy-men into the world that my mind and my heart forget my bigger purpose. I loved this: “While we must not neglect our present God-given duties, we must at the same time be preparing for our future home and should even be looking forward with great anticipation to our eternal home.”
