”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
