Heaven by Randy C. Alcorn (2004, Hardcover)

The book "Heaven" by Randy C. Alcorn has given me a totally
different, but real, aspect of Heaven..In April my dear husband passed. I was having a really difficult time with his death. But this book was one of the things I needed for mine and his spiritual well being. And yes, I purchased several copies so my friends may find comfort the way I did.

The book is thought provoking. It provides good information about heaven though the author recognizes that he may be wrong in a couple of points in the book.

I bought it to use as a pastor and teacher in my Sunday School class. It has brought good discussion on the issues that we have looked at so far. We have much yet to do.

I appreciate and personally enjoy the insights of the author. He has made it so that I am now looking even more forward to the kingdom of Christ. I appreciate as well the comprehensive nature of this book. It has helped even with some of the questions about heaven that I have recieved over the years as a pastor.

Randy Alcorn has excelled in this work that is one of depth yet understandable by the layperson.

Am re-reading this book now. A real life-changer for me, especially after being around so many "christo-platonist" with their well-meaning, yet un- scripturally based opinions. This book systematically (and entertainingly) discusses many topics related to Heaven, carefully using scripture for any and all insights and opinions. Randy Alcorn has tied up so many lose ends regarding Heaven and compiled a coherent, thought-provoking, life-changing book that is as easy to read as it is hard to put down. He makes no outrageous claims as he logically explains what should be obvious to a Bible believer, yet has been misrepresented by too many well-meaning, uninformed expositors.
I buy copies to give away to friends. It is THAT good!!

"Heaven" is the first book that I have seen devoted specifically to the subject of where Christian's hope to spend eternity. For a place that many see as their eternal home their is suprisingly little information to be found out there.

Randy Alcorn does a wonderful job of portraying what Heaven might actually be like. He uses the scriptures extensively to support his views and makes a convincing case.

Whether you ultimately agree with him or not "Heaven" should certainly be an interesting read and open your eyes to ideas that may be new.

This is the most comprehensive, well-written book on Heaven that I've ever read. It is life-changing! I will never view the hereafter the same having read Randy Alcorn's book.
I would higly recommend it to all those even remotely interested in going to Heaven, and especially to those who think that Heaven is a place where disembodied spirits travel from cloud to cloud playing a harp!
Although the book is written primarily for those who profess to be Christians it would be interesting to those who don't profess faith.
