Increasing economic and cultural instability is leading North Americans to wonder more and more about existence beyond death. Many sources--some trustworthy, some not--are offering opinion, conjecture, and comforting words.Noted Bible teacher Ron Rhodes, bestselling author of Angels Among Us, goes to the Scriptures, God's gift to help us live on earth in a way that prepares us for heaven. He tackles the important questions: What is the moment-of-death transition actually like?In what state will believers exist? Will they know loved ones?What will God's people do in eternity? What will it be like to live with God forever?The Wonder of Heaven punctures the notion of a harp-strumming, do-nothing eternity. After glimpsing their home with God--and with people as God meant them to be--Christians will be filled with an anticipation that makes their lives brighter, stronger, and more effective today.Includes some material from the book Heaven: The Undiscovered Country.
