Makes me want to go there NOW!!!
Not an easy read but backed up continually from the Bible-one of the most comprehensive books about Heaven that I've read. It answers a lot of questions and gives an amazing understanding of just how much God loves us -not only to make a home here on earth but the Home he's prepared for us afterwards with him.

Heaven According to the Bible
3 May 2006
Format:Paperback
The excellence of "The Glory of Heaven" is that it dispels error and explains truth without going beyond scripture, without crossing over into speculation as other writers on this topic do. In addition to using scripture to rebut popular New Age ideas about the afterlife, MacArthur utterly demolishes Christendom's false notions, like soul sleep (no immediate presence with God) and purgatory (post-mortem suffering). He even challenges common evangelical theory about the place of "Abraham's bosom." The occupants of heavens are described, both angels and glorified humans, with the distinction made between sanctification and glorification. Finally, MacArthur clarifies seemingly contradictory verses about the nature of the place of heaven, such as some that imply a temple in heaven and others that do not. MacArthur envisions an eternal heaven that transcends space and time rather than one that is just a different name for the New Earth. Because of MacArthur's scripture-laden academic manner, this book may seem a bit tedious for those who prefer conversational or devotional styles, but at least it's faithful to the Bible. (Also, MacArthur attaches 4 appendices that are more devotional pieces written by Boston, Spurgeon and Ryle.)

**Bringing the church back from it's secular mentality**
6 Nov 1999
Format:Paperback
MacArthur is an amazingly gifted preacher. The Lord uses John in this book to bring the focus of the contemporary church today back to a view of the future hope that all Christians have waiting for them. Christians are strangers in a foreign land, sojourning untill the Lord takes them home by death or by rapture, but yet the church has fallen prey to the materialistic mentality of the world. Placing the meaning of life seemingly within their possesions and getting caught up in the day to day stuff that goes on in this world, putting to much emphasis and meaning in this "passing" world they have forgotten that they are allready "citizens" of Heaven.
"The Glory Of Heaven" in a number of ways, and through numerous Biblical truths seeks to bring the wandering Christian back to their roots, and shows them their future hope, a hope that is steadfast, sure and even a present reality in the believers life. A hope that should compel the believer to live a life that has it's meaning, it's aim, and it's hope fixed on the "blessed hope and glorious appearing of the great God and Savior Jesus Christ", and all that, that glorious appearing will entail.

A great find
26 Jun 2006
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book was very uplifting and rooted in scripture. I had recently read a "best seller" about Heaven and left the book feeling misinformed. This book grealy helped me with some questions I had about Heaven. I would recommend this book to all people.
