I don't think any other book has awakened so much joy in me, and love for our heavenly Father, Who created us for eternal, joyful, purposeful, worshipful life with Him.
Alcorn does not take any word for granted when studying the scriptures that speak of heaven. His meticulous detailed research combined with a sense of curiosity reveal truths hidden in plain sight. There are answers to the questions we have about heaven if we only take the Bible at its word.
But he also steps back from the minute details of each word's meaning and examines the big picture, God's overall plan and purpose for creation. All the puzzle pieces of the details fall into place when you see the whole picture.
Part one was my favorite part, and part three was a wonderful closing exhortation. Part two was a little too speculative for me, although it did get me thinking and pondering and imagining about things I never took the time to consider. I don't think anyone can answer some of those questions with any certainty but there's nothing wrong with pondering them and considering what we do know to be true.
I encourage everyone to read this book. It's long but it's not pedantic or academic at all. It's written in a very approachable style, very readable.
