Synopsis
Heaven. Eternity. The Afterlife. Mention any of these concepts, and people of all ages and from all walks of life are certain to have opinions. Maybe that's why there are so many books and movies that feature heaven-and-back experiences. But how can we know if those accounts are accurate? How can we know for sure what heaven will be like? According to New Testament scholar and author Scot McKnight, all we need to do is to turn to the Bible to answer our questions. Separating fact from fiction, McKnight helps the reader examine the over-arching story of scripture in order to discover what awaits us. Heaven isn't the construction of a fairytale or some mythical narrative. It's very real; it's very good; and it's very much the fulfillment of God's promise to us.

Newspapers & Magazines
[Scot McKnight] looks at what the Bible has to teach us about heaven and about what awaits us beyond death. Heaven is real, he argues, and the fulfilment of God's promises to us. * The Church Newspaper * The book is rich in examples from pastoral ministry, which explores the reality of suffering, death and grief and the hope and the comfort a doctrine of heaven provides. * The Methodist Recorder * Preachers can undoubtedly benefit from the stories and quotations this book contains. * Ministry Today * This book brings together some of the most robust Biblical scholarship with a strongly pastoral and theological emphasis, often expounded with a refreshing sense of humour. McKnight steers a careful path through what can be known about heaven through scripture... When did you last hear a sermon on heaven? There is plenty here to stimulate thought. * Reflection Magazine * It's one to read slowly and thoughtfully...In this book, the hope of Heaven is palatable. * Woman Alive *
