Why should we want to go to Heaven?

Is it just pie in the sky?

In his first book for IVP, James Paul, the Director of English L'Abri, helps us to discover the difference that the Bible's story of the dimension of Heaven makes for life now. This is a thoughtful, humourous book for anyone wanting a deeper understanding of the Bible’s teaching on heaven, or anyone who has wondered about the true meaning of finding heaven on earth. Life-affirming and uplifting, this book will fire your imagination as to how you can be a part of bringing heaven to the world around you. What on Earth is Heaven? is available to preorder in paperback and ebook formats now!

In the Bible, God gives us knowledge of himself and of ourselves, so that through these two intertwined strands we may receive what Calvin called 'true and sound wisdom'. In pursuit of this wisdom, many Christians have learned to interpret Scripture chrono-logically, following the Bible’s developing story from creation, through fall, to redemption, and ultimately to restoration. But what of a complementary theo-logical approach to Scripture, one which focuses on the Bible’s main 'characters' — God and human beings — and the nature of their relationship? Richard Brash, a missionary teacher of theology in Japan, has written Knowing Me, Knowing God, which Vaughan Roberts calls "theology at its best: biblically grounded, mind-blowing and heart-warming".
