"This is unquestionably the best book (other than the Bible, of course!) that I've ever read! At a whopping 500+ pages, it may appear daunting, but it is broken down into short, easy-to-manage chapters. I could almost feel myself being blessed each morning as I read from it, and I wouldn't be surprised if I read it again someday (once everyone else in my family finishes reading it, since I've told them all that they absolutely must!). Mr. Alcorn shatters the preconceived conception that most people today have of heaven - including myself. Instead he presents what he believes to be a more biblical picture - based on 25 years of study on the topic, and a dose of biblically-inspired imagination. He particularly dispels the notion that heaven is an ethereal world where we, as disembodied spirits, will spend eternity floating on clouds and playing harps - an image that causes many people to claim indifference as to whether they are going to heaven when they die or not. He places a lot of emphasis on the God's promise to create a new heavens and a new earth. I was particularly enlightened by the explanation that God's plan for redemption includes not just the souls of men, but the whole of creation. His ultimate plan is to redeem the entire world and return it to a state of complete perfection - devoid of sin, pain, and death. And that's where we will dwell for all of eternity, in our humanity, but free of corruption. There is so much more that I could say, but you really should just read the book for yourself!"
Our church used this book for a church-wide discipleship study in the fall of 2008. We used it because we had been experiencing significant loss and grief. The subject matter is tremendously helpful for such individuals and groups.
Randy Alcorn filled in, with great detail, what the Bible presents only with broad brush strokes. When I first saw the book, it's size caused me to ask, "How in the world did he do that?""
Unfortunately, as a church we have done a poor job casting a captivating view of Heaven to our children. This bled into adulthood for me. When I began reading this book, my perception of Heaven was painfully boring. The problem was, I had never been shown just how much the Scriptures have to say about the place. Instead of viewing the Earth we live on as a shadow of what is to come, I pictured heaven as being other-wordly and ethereal.
Randy Alcorn's materpiece dashed whatever apprehensions I had about my eternal home. Through abundant Scriptural examples, a totally new view of Heaven crept into my imagination. This new outlook has stoked in me a boyish wonder I am convinced our Father wants all of us to have about the place He is creating for us. It is an outlook that has seeped into every aspect of my pursuit of Christ. How could I have been so blind, for so long?"
"This is an excellent, in-depth look at not only heaven but, more specifically, the New Earth promised in Revelation 21-22. Alcorn begins with a theology of the New Earth and then proceeds to ask and answer just about any question you can possibly have about the topic. I found the book to be very engaging and encouraging as I found myself longing more for the New Earth and the Triune God who will rule over it. This is a must-read for pastors, Bible teachers and anyone who helps others think Christianly. It will serve as a much-referenced resource on my shelf as I seek to understand the New Earth even more. It is a large book (560 pages), so it won't suit every Christian, but Alcorn has several other books that will wet the appetite to learn more about the New Heaven and the New Earth. As believers who are to understand the hope of our calling, this will serve as a great resource."
