Our pictures of heaven range from comical to curious, mystical to fictitious, with bits of biblical truth thrown in. But if heaven is our future, and we are to be living with an eternal mindset in the present, a Hollywood scriptwriter's interpretation of the afterlife just won't suffice. Quite simple, we need to know more about what lies ahead for the sake of what lies in front of us today.

In this book, pastor John MacArthur takes us through the pages of Scripture, exploring the wonders of heaven and the truth about angels and eternal life while addressing current debates and issues. Come along with this bestselling author for an in-depth look at every Christian's future--heaven, our eternal home.
