Book Description

May 22, 1998

If you're going to call it "home" for eternity, don't you want to know what it's like?

Our pictures of life in heaven cover the range from comical to curious, from mystical to fictitious—with maybe some biblical truth thrown in. For example: We know angels will be there. But thanks to TV, we think of them as being gorgeous, white-robed beings with enormous wings. We know we will be given new bodies, but books have convinced us that that means we will we end up with a set of wings ourselves. And cartoons, movies, and modern music have portrayed those who have gone to heaven as having full knowledge of what's happening to their loved ones on earth.

But if heaven is in your future, a Hollywood scriptwriter's interpretation or some artist's rendering of it just won't do. You need to know the truth, which, ironically, is far better than anything our creative minds can imagine.

The only One who knows the glorious truth about heaven is God. And the only place to find that truth is in His Word.

In this book, pastor John MacArthur takes you through those very Scriptures and opens your heart to the realities of heaven, angels, and eternal life. It's a joyous study of every Christian's future. A future that you can and should anticipate.

Come along with this best-selling author for an in-depth look at where you'll spend eternity. Open up The Glory of Heaven and catch a glimpse of Home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heaven According to the Bible, May 3, 2006
This review is from: The Glory of Heaven: The Truth about Heaven, Angels and Eternal Life (Paperback)
The excellence of "The Glory of Heaven" is that it dispels error and explains truth without going beyond scripture, without crossing over into speculation as other writers on this topic do. In addition to using scripture to rebut popular New Age ideas about the afterlife, MacArthur utterly demolishes Christendom's false notions, like soul sleep (no immediate presence with God) and purgatory (post-mortem suffering). He even challenges common evangelical theory about the place of "Abraham's bosom." The occupants of heavens are described, both angels and glorified humans, with the distinction made between sanctification and glorification. Finally, MacArthur clarifies seemingly contradictory verses about the nature of the place of heaven, such as some that imply a temple in heaven and others that do not. MacArthur envisions an eternal heaven that transcends space and time rather than one that is just a different name for the New Earth. Because of MacArthur's scripture-laden academic manner, this book may seem a bit tedious for those who prefer conversational or devotional styles, but at least it's faithful to the Bible. (Also, MacArthur attaches 4 appendices that are more devotional pieces written by Boston, Spurgeon and Ryle.)

5.0 out of 5 stars **Bringing the church back from it's secular mentality**, November 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Glory of Heaven: The Truth about Heaven, Angels and Eternal Life (Paperback)
MacArthur is an amazingly gifted preacher. The Lord uses John in this book to bring the focus of the contemporary church today back to a view of the future hope that all Christians have waiting for them. Christians are strangers in a foreign land, sojourning untill the Lord takes them home by death or by rapture, but yet the church has fallen prey to the materialistic mentality of the world. Placing the meaning of life seemingly within their possesions and getting caught up in the day to day stuff that goes on in this world, putting to much emphasis and meaning in this "passing" world they have forgotten that they are allready "citizens" of Heaven.

"The Glory Of Heaven" in a number of ways, and through numerous Biblical truths seeks to bring the wandering Christian back to their roots, and shows them their future hope, a hope that is steadfast, sure and even a present reality in the believers life. A hope that should compel the believer to live a life that has it's meaning, it's aim, and it's hope fixed on the "blessed hope and glorious appearing of the great God and Savior Jesus Christ", and all that, that glorious appearing will entail.

This review is from: The Glory of Heaven: The Truth about Heaven, Angels and Eternal Life (Paperback)
This book was very uplifting and rooted in scripture. I had recently read a "best seller" about Heaven and left the book feeling misinformed. This book grealy helped me with some questions I had about Heaven. I would recommend this book to all people.
