Description: Heaven continues to be a neglected element of the Christian life. We profess it to be eternally important and then live as if it doesn’t exist. By taking a new look at the biblical picture of heaven, Nathan Bierma shows readers how heaven can be a relevant, meaningful, inspiring engine of Christian faith and kingdom service. With this new outlook on our eternal destiny, we can live with godly purpose in our vocation, citizenship, recreation, and worship.
"Bierma is a rising star in an emerging generation of evangelical commentators on the issues of cultural life…a first-rate theological mind at work.”
—Richard Mouw
"Not many writers in their early twenties take up the subject of heaven. Nathan Bierma does so with a depth of insight and a spiritual maturity rarely encountered in writers twice his age.”
—John Wilson, editor, Books & Culture
“…an engaging, provocative, and practical book on human beings’ responsibility to be agents of renewal in the world.”
—Quentin Schultze, author of Communicating for Life
Nathan Bierma is communications and research coordinator for the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship and a contributing editor to Books & Culture. His weekly column appears in the Chicago Tribune.
