Get ready to embark on a wonderful journey.


If you've always thought of Heaven as a realm of clouds, disembodied spirits, and eternal harp strumming, you're in for a wonderful surprise.


God has put eternity into our hearts. Randy Alcorn brings eternity to light in 50 inspiring and thought-provoking meditations that will forever change the way you think about the spectacular new universe that awaits us: new heavens and a New Earth, where Jesus will be the center, and joy will be the air we breathe - a universe free from pain and suffering, filled with unending beauty and adventure.

After Papaw passed away, the boys began asking more questions about Heaven. I remembered this book that my dad has had for a while. Over the past few years, I have picked it up and read some of it here and there and knew there was great encouragement contained in it's pages.


Each day's devotional includes an introduction and conclusion, a selected passage of Scripture, a great quote about Heaven that corresponds to the subject of the day, a final question to ponder and a prayer that flows from the reflection.


This is by far one of my all-time favorite devotional books! Each day left me refocused, renewed and reminded that this life is truly a vapor that will soon pass away. I am dying. I need to live for Eternity.

I must keep alive in myself the desire for my true country, which I shall not find till after death; I must never let it get snowed under or turned aside; I must make it the main object of life to press on to that other country and to help others to do the same. - C. S. Lewis

Parents are often so busy with the physical rearing of children that they miss the glory of parenthood; just as the grandeur of the trees is lost when raking leaves. - Marclene Cox
