Heaven
Book • 2024
In this book, Randy Alcorn provides a detailed and scripturally grounded description of Heaven, challenging common misconceptions such as the idea of Heaven as a realm of disembodied spirits or eternal harp strumming.
Instead, he portrays Heaven as a vibrant, physical New Earth where real people with real bodies enjoy close relationships with God and each other, engaging in activities like eating, drinking, working, playing, traveling, and worshiping.
The book emphasizes the continuity between earthly life and the new creation, highlighting the glorious possibilities of worshiping God through an eternity of exercising dominion over a renewed creation.
