Heaven on Earth - What the Bible Teaches about Life to Come

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 Asleep4. The Trumpet Shall Sound5. The New Heaven and New Earth6. What Will Heaven be Like?7. Like the Angels
