Synopsis
Heaven isn t just a dream; it s a promise
For far too long, we ve talked about heaven as if it were a dream or someplace that only exists in fairy tales. We want to believe it s real, but with such an expanse of contradictory information, it s difficult to know what to believe.
To add even more confusion, we are left to sift through the tales of individuals who say they have crossed over and returned. With so many competing narratives and accounts based on what many think are beyond-death experiences, wouldn t it be nice to have a straightforward examination of what the Bible says about heaven?
Best-selling author and New Testament scholar Scot McKnight thought so too, which is why years of research have come to fruition in The Heaven Promise. It represents the perfect blend of thoughtful investigation coupled with an easily digestible presentation.
My hope, McKnight shares, is that people will be hopeful about heaven.
Now with a convenient discussion guide, The Heaven Promise offers an infusion of hope alongside a healthy anticipation of eternity.
After all, heaven isn t just a dream; it s a promise."
