Heaven

Rating:
Summary: Sound and balanced
Review: After reading Mary K Baxter's book, I was skeptical about purchasing anymore books about the afterlife. But after watching the Heaven/Hell documentary, it inspired me to purchase this book. I must say that this book is biblical! Joni doesnt conjure up any false visions or dreams about heaven. She sticks strickly with the scriptures, and also adds her real life experiences to express her thoughts of the heavenly realm.

Review: I highly recommend this book for parents who have children who are chronically ill or disabled. I believe that people who find themselves in this situation will also be blessed.This book challenges the readers to take God out of a box and encourages them to envision heaven in a new and exciting way.So throw away the wings and harps and picture a place where there will be nomore tears, no more pain and friendships that will be eternal. We ain't seen nothing yet! Praise God!

Review: Jodi has given me such a wonderful outlook on life, people and faith. She has hit such a spot in my soul i cannot begin to share this very very special feelig. I feel truly as a soul inside a shell. The shell is nothing if the soul isn't doing. This is what this is about. God Bless this women and know that she has been given a gift and writing is it. Please read this book then discuss it with me. I would love to talk to anyone about it. Also I would love to know if I can get these books on tape. I have a dear friend with Huntington Disease. She cannot read anymore and I intend to give her these on tape to listen to.

Summary: A Glimpse of Heaven
Review: Joni does a wonderful job of relating many thoughts of heaven to the reader. She envisions heaven from various perspectives. "Recognizing a relative", "How long is eternity?", "Will we get bored?", "Having fellowship with Jesus", and "What will Heaven look like?". Although the answers will not be truly known until going to heaven, Joni gives the reader a taste of heaven on earth. This book creates the anticipation of going home to see Jesus.

Summary: MY FAVORITE BOOK--BESIDES THE BIBLE!
Review: Joni truly has her eyes on the "prize"--Heaven! (see I Corinthians 9:24.) This book is so beautiful; it is really beyond words, it speaks from heart to heart. If you are reading this I truly believe you have been sent here and it is God's will for you to buy and read this book.

"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,

Neither have entered into the heart of man

The things which God has prepared for those who love Him." I Corinthians 2:9 THE HOLY BIBLE

Perhaps Joni is the one exception to the above scripture! It is truly Amazing someone can take the limited scripture we have on Heaven and turn it into an inspiring, moving, exciting, and soul-stirring book! I wish this was in every home in the world! Once you start reading it is almost impossible to put down! And if you do, it won't be very long until you pick it up again! "Heaven Your Real Home" will make your soul ache and yearn for Heaven! Really wanting it will definitely help you get there!

I leave you with the words of Jesus: "NOT EVERYONE WHO SAYS TO ME, 'LORD, LORD,' SHALL ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN BUT HE WHO DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER IN HEAVEN." Matthew 7:21 THE HOLY BIBLE

Summary: Synopsis:
Review: Most descriptions of heaven in the Bible appear to concentrate on what won't be there. No marriage, no sun or moon, no sea. And positive descriptions, like the streets of gold in Revelation and the 14,000-square-mile-cube Holy City sound rather absurd and overly geometrical to Joni Eareckson Tada. But like a photographer using a negative to make a positive image, says Joni in Heaven: Your Real Home, God tells us what won't be in heaven in order to hint at the wonder it will have. "On earth," says Joni, "we know all too well what the negatives are: suffering, pain, and death. Show us their opposites, the positive side, and we shall have the best possible idea of the perfect state." As for clumsy references to cubed cities and rainbow thrones, we should think of them as signs directing our view toward heaven. A green and white sign that says "Chicago" points travelers in the right direction, but the sign obviously isn't the Windy City. It's only a reminder of what is to come. In the same way, while the signs in the Bible may be lacking compared to the real thing, they are symbols pointing believers toward heaven, toward home. Heaven: Your Real Home reveals what heaven will be like, what people will do there, and whom they'll see. It also shows how heaven will be the satisfaction of all that peoples' hearts cry for here on earth, and how they can prepare now for its coming reality. "Let's not get too settled in, too satisfied with the good things down here on earth," says Joni in Heaven: Your Real Home, "they are only the tinkling sounds of the orchestra warming up. The real song is about to break into a heavenly symphony, and its prelude is only a few moments away."

Summary: This Book brings you into an eternal, Heavenbound perspectiv
Review: Wow! I read this book while facing the death of loved ones for the first time and it changed my life. I always knew the scriptures and promises of heaven as a Christian's real home, but Joni brings it into reality. Soon after diving into it's chapters, You too will long for your real home...and the fulfillment that will come only from being face to face with our Heavenly Father and Saviour Jesus Christ. Joni reminds us that Heaven is so very real, and so close to us. Heaven cannot be described in human terms, but she does her best to get our thoughts churning in the right direction. This is a book I will go back to throughout the rest of my life!
