A new perspectiveSeptember 2, 2008 This book was a real eye-opener for me. It's one I want to read again and again because there is so much to absorb. Absolutely fascinating!
HeavenAugust 28, 2008 It is amazing how little we consider the topic of heaven. We are so tied up in earthly cares and concerns that we do not spend the time to consider the specifics of our eternal destination.
In this regard, Randy Alcorn has put together a tremendous book on the subject that is both well researched in terms of biblical truth and well thought out in terms of the challenges and distractions that we each face.
I strongly urge you to buy this book. It will help you focus your life differently. It will help you to do what we are commanded in Colossians 3:1-2 ... "Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." Read it, learn it, know it - you won't regret it!
I have to say "The Heaven" is indeed a worth reading and definitely inspiring book to readAugust 16, 2008 Alcorn has written a terrific book on the topic of "Heaven". One of the wonderful experience when reading "THe Heaven" is that I feel my understanding about heaven and life after death is being challenged. "The Heaven" gives me an opportunity to rethink about my understanding and interpretation in the scriptures on this particular topic. Alcorn has made some sound exegesis and used some very good examples from the scriptures to support his view and argument. Alcorn mindfully explains and elaborates his point of view on heaven. Alcorn is able to turn heaven as described in the scriptures into a 3 dimensional picture allowing audience to visualize what the actual life of heaven will "possibly be like". He makes heaven such a very interesting topic to think about. Indeed, it needs to acknowledge Alcorns's insight into the topic of "Heaven" and his effort in putting this book together. However, it will also be true and fair to say that many of Alcorn's views on heaven are speculations and personal opinions. It needs to be read with cautions and tested with the golden standard, the bible. Anyhow, I have to say "The Heaven" is indeed a worth reading and definitely inspiring book to read.
Excellent bookAugust 7, 2008 I learned a lot from this book, and recommend it to everyone. Mr. Alcorn goes to great lengths to show the Scripture behind his writing.

I purchased 8 copies of this book, Heaven, by Randy Alcorn, for my Bible Study group in the United Methodist Church. We have been very impressed with the information. It has answered a lot of our questions about what is Heaven really like - where is it, etc.
