 Heaven May 16, 2008
Heaven
This is a must-read if you, like me, have never thought much about Heaven. As I read through the book I realized that my views on Heaven were more inline with the views of our culture than with scripture. The ideas and concepts presented by Mr Alcorn forced me to really dig into scripture and find out what God says about our eternal dwelling place. This is a delightful book to read, because of the hope and optimism about our eternal dwelling place with God. The end of life has never looked so good.
Excellent take on Heaven May 14, 2008
This is a very good book. It is a little bit of a slow read at first, but uses Scripture well and is so encouraging about Heaven, that it really makes you want to get on with it and be there. I never had a negative view of Heaven (clouds, harps, endless Hallelujahs) but I had reallly not concentrated on the fact that Heaven is the New Earth and that point brings great joy.
BIBLICALLY ACCURATE, BUT NOT EASY TO READ May 8, 2008
For the biblically well-educated, HEAVEN is a book above reproach. It covers in depth, all the questions about a Christian's Eternal Home. However, if you are a beginner, you need to get one of the abridged versions of this same book for use. The other versions cover the basic points without the extras, such as opinions from biblical scholars, and references to other non-biblical sources. In fact, I really would have enjoyed the book more without those other references. The book, HEAVEN, is what I call a hard-read, because you cannot read very much at a time before taking time to assimilate all of it, and I am very well biblically educated. Choose wisely according to your own Biblical knowledge.
 Heavenly? April 25, 2008
Alcorn uses extensive Scripture to "de-spiritualize" Heaven--Heaven is and will be a real and physical destination, ultimately on the New Earth after God is done with history as we know it.
Sometimes his writing is repetitive (this 450-page book could have been half that with better editing and outlining) and sometimes he engages in imaginative "it could be like this" thinking, but mostly he's right on target. One problem he points out clearly is that the prevalent view of Heaven as cloud-floating eternal weightlessness deprives most of us of the incentive to really look forward to Heaven in the life-changing way we should.
Don't read this book if... April 20, 2008
Don't read this book if you have any fantasies about how good China is treating Christians (or any other religious groups for that matter.) This tale only gives us a glimpse of how Christians fare in this country. The story line opens our eyes to the facts in China and greater truths through Ben as a powerful business man finds there is more to life than making money.
