Heaven - by Randy Alcorn

I started reading a book simply called Heaven, by Randy Alcorn.  I have only just begun reading it, but I'm very excited already.  There is so much in just the introduction about the glories that await the Christian in eternity.  If we're going to spend eternity somewhere, shouldn't we take a close look to learn all that Scripture says about it in order to learn everything that we can about what God has revealed to us about our eternal home?

Please do not confuse this book with other books on alleged experiences such as Don Piper's 90 Minutes in Heaven or Bill Wiese's 23 Minutes in Hell.  Randy Alcorn simply uses sola Scriptura to describe the eternal home in which Christ is preparing for His bride, the Church.  (John 14:2)

With my Grandpa's recent "promotion to Glory", this topic has never been more on my mind and knowing where he is, with Christ, I know I've not lost him... rather, I've simply lost contact with him for a time.

I'll try to keep posting comments as I read through this book... as I feel led to do so.  I'm doing my best to not start reading new books until I finish the ones I've started, but I'm really challenged in this area as my friends well know.  ;)

Below is a preview of the book Heaven... check it out.

“O Lord, make me know my end and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting I am!  Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before you.  Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath! Selah (Psalm 39:4-5 ESV)

In His grip,
