Heaven: My Father's House

Rating:
Summary: Peace
Review: I found comfort with Anne's assurance that our heavenly home is where we will be welcomed into eternal peace and safety.
I lost a loved one and had difficulty adjusting. Knowing that he is in Heaven is a great comfort. I know we will be together again in Glory.
I also must say that I have used a great book for personal healing,Write from Your Heart, A Healing Grief Journal. Both of these books have helped me to move forward in peace and hope.

Summary: Agreeing with the essentials
Review: I'll try to be gracious but truthful. The subject of this book is not the problem, but probably I was looking for a more substantial, rigorous treatment. Perhaps someone who has never considered or studied what the Bible says about heaven might find this more suitable. The second to the last chapter, "A Home You Are Invited to Claim as Your Own," was the best to me, as it was basically the gospel message. It would be good for a person who is new to (not yet a believer in) Christianity. But I was put off by the long lists of items that run throughout the book (if you see a sample of that in the online excerpt, be forewarned that the book is filled with these lists.). So, the book is a bit "poetic," and if you like that style, you may like this book. It also has a lot of exclamation points. If you like the very deep, wrestling thoughts of writers like CS Lewis, you might want to think twice about this book.
