What is heaven? What really happens when our days here on earth
come to an end?
Heaven is referred to by different names: "paradise, eternity, the
afterlife, the new Jerusalem, resurrection." Throughout the ages
Christians have wondered about it, longed for it, inquired into it,
meditated on it, preached about it, and written about it in poems
and songs. Some of these "wonderings" are gathered in this
remarkable collection of varied passages from Christians across the
centuries and from all walks of life. Brief biographies of the
contributors are also included, making this book a rich resource.
After reading "A Glimpse of Heaven," you will yearn for the
blessings of heaven.
""Not even the most learned philosopher or theologian knows what
it is going to be like. But there is one thing which the simplest
Christian knows -- it is going to be all right. Somewhere,
somewhen, somehow we who are worshiping God here will wake up to
see Him as He is, and face to face.""
-- John Baillie (1886-1960)
""What a pleasure is there in the heavenly kingdom, without fear
of death; and how lofty and perpetual a happiness with eternity of
living ""
-- Cyprian (200-258)
""The death incident is merely a passage from earth life, from the
womb that has contained you until now, into the marvelous newness
of heaven life.""
-- Joseph Bayly, Heaven, 1977
The Bible may only give us glimpses into eternity, but we can be
sure of one thing: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has
conceived what God has prepared for those who love him" (1
Corinthians 2:9). From the literary and poetic to the humorous and
scholarly, these classic and contemporary reflections offer a
glorious wide-angled view of heaven -- full of insight, truth,
hope, worship, and utter anticipation This book will focus on the
hope of every believer and will comfort every heart.
