Why a book about heaven? For all the skepticism that abounds in our time, people still want to know what happens after death. Do you know with any certainty where your conscious, thinking, self–aware, communicative self will be? And does it matter, as long as you are in ‘heaven’? But the importance of‘heaven’ does not consist only in it being the alternative to ‘hell’. It is not just an abstract future state into which we will slip, it is a physical reality which can give us joy and hope even now as we look toward it. Derek Thomas examines how the Christian can and should think about heaven: 1. We Die … Then what?2. Are You Ready?3. Falling Asleep4. The Trumpet Shall Sound5. The New Heaven and New Earth6. What Will Heaven be Like?7. Like the Angels

”Here is encouragement for us in a gloom-laden world. Always joyful, sometimes playful, Dr. Derek Thomas shows us what John Newton called the 'Solid joys and lasting treasures' that are the Christian's birth-right. A truly hope-full, wonder-full, joy-full book to read, treasure, and share.“Sinclair B. Ferguson”It’s our home and where we belong. But do we know just what it is we look forward to? Derek Thomas shows us from God’s word what we can expect in eternity. In doing so, he stirs a longing for the glories and joys to come.“Christina Fox”We belong to a generation that is obsessed with the present ... dangerously unready for death. It is a book that every one of us should read.“Mark Johnston”Reams of false teaching abound about heaven. Here a skillful pastor-theologian draws our eyes to Scripture's vision of our eternal home.“Stephen J. Nichols”This book's topic is vital for the Christian life. Christians need to be clear on their hope, and we won't be clear on our hope until we trust in what God in the Scriptures says is to come for all who trust in Christ.“Ligon Duncan”What is it like? What happens when I die? What takes places at the end of human history? Derek Thomas makes for a terrific guide in exploring these critical matters. I was greatly edified in reading this book.“Kevin DeYoung
