Top 7 Books About Heaven

1. In Light of Eternity

Without a doubt, Randy Alcorn has written my favorite book about heaven. He challenges us to live our lives in light of eternity, and helps us realize that what we really crave is found there. I read this book right after the loss of a family member, and it helped lessen my grief. As I dwelled on the exhilarating adventure that God has prepared for us, I could only imagine the joy my loved one was encountering, and I began to look forward to heaven as never before.

2. Heaven

Also by Randy Alcorn, this book provides us with a thoroughly researched biblical description of heaven. Many of us have serious questions about heaven, and also some not-so-serious questions. Alcorn addresses these issues and helps us develop a greater understanding and deeper longing for our eternal destination.

3. The Slumber of Christianity: Awakening a Passion for Heaven on Earth

Ted Dekker, one of my favorite Christian fiction authors, has put together this challenge for believers, asking us to wake up from our bored slumber and remember our central hope. His goal is to ignite our passion for the exotic and pleasurable eternal inheritance that God has planned for those of us who will inherit His kingdom in heaven.

4. Heaven: My Father's House

Anne Graham Lotz, daughter of Billy Graham, encourages us to look forward to our eternal home. Many of us live life dreading the unknown, uncertain, and often fearful aspects of our future. Lotz reminds us that we can trust God and look with hope toward God's ultimate vision for us, knowing heaven is sure to be a refuge of peace -- the perfect place prepared for us.

5. The Five People You Meet in Heaven

This book by Mitch Albom may not initially appeal to all Christians. Readers must step past the fact that it does not focus on biblical accuracy. Rather, Albom has written an original tale to help us rethink the afterlife and the meaning of our lives here on earth. Too often we are caught up in what we can see, while in God's reality, there is so much more to life than what meets our natural eye.
Hardcover; 196 Pages.
