Heaven your real home
Outline : Do you wish you knew more about what waits for you after this life? Heaven offers a refreshing and faith-filled picture of the glorious destination the Bible promises is waiting for all believers. And once you've caught a glimpse of heaven, you'll see earth in a whole new light. Joni Eareckson Tada has a heart tuned in to heaven. The wheelchair that seems to bind her closer to the hard earth has become the vehicle that has set her heart free to soar to heaven's heights. Heaven is not just a theological concept or a comforting idea for Joni, but her real home and final destination. Now she offers a personal and thoughtful look at the road map to the believer's ultimate destination: heaven. "Heaven may be as near as next year or next week," says Joni, "so it makes good sense to spend some time here on earth thinking candid thoughts about that marvelous future reserved for us." Far from viewing heaven as an escape from. reality, Joni paints a picture of heaven as the home of our hearts, the place where we will find the fulfillment of our longings, and a reality that is more substantial and lasting than anything we'll ever find here on earth. She encourages us to set our sights not on the passing things of earth, but on heaven where our deepest and most noble desires will be realized. This joyful book talks about what heaven will be like, what we'll do, and who we'll see. It also shows how heaven will be the satisfaction of all that our hearts cry for here on earth, and how to prepare our hearts now for the reality of heaven. Step back for a moment, focus your eyes of faith, and then come with Joni into a world you've heard about from your youth but have never seen: heaven. You'll learn what heaven is like and who will be there - and how you can prepare your heart here on earth for the reality of heaven. You just might discover that heaven is closer - and more real - than you've ever thought.
