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 Revolution Devotional" helps you understand and develop character traits that will turn you into a revolutionary for God. No boring reading here - instead it's fast-paced and fun. Each day you'll read a verse of the Bible, then a short devotional about the character in that verse.

For example, on the topic of being different from the crowd, you might get this list: Seven Ways to Be Really Different and There's different... and there's really different. Here are seven ways to achieve the latter status: colour your eyebrows with purple Magic Marker(R); insist that people call you "Butterscotch"; wear bumper stickers on the back of your coat; declare yourself a "meat-arian" and argue for vegetable rights; talk only in Dr.;Seuss rhymes; at the lunch table, do play-by-play commentary for a game going on in your imagination; randomly blurt out the phrase, "Now that's what I'm talking about" - even when no one is talking.
