What happens when we die? And what will heaven be like? In Heaven on Earth: What the Bible Teaches about Life to Come, author Derek Thomas draws directly from Scripture to answer these intriguing questions. While we can’t know all the details, you might be surprised by how much the Bible reveals about the afterlife.
God’s Word is clear: there is life after death. Eternity for unbelievers, however, will be a completely different experience than what believers will enjoy. When you read Heaven on Earth, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of why it’s vital that we get right with God before it’s too late. The author writes that “there is a heaven to be gained and a hell to be shunned, and the time to choose between these destinies is now.” Reading Heaven on Earth will help you make that choice and face death with confidence, and even anticipation, rather than fear.
Derek Thomas originally preached each chapter of Heaven on Earth as a sermon. In the book, he answers many frequently asked questions about what happens after death. Will we go immediately to heaven, or is there a limbo period? Will we recognize our friends and loved ones? And will we have physical bodies in heaven? Thomas doesn’t answer these questions with mere opinions but supports his claims with Scripture references so that we can know what God has revealed about death, Christ’s return, and the new heavens and the new earth. You’ll want to read Heaven on Earth with your Bible open so you can see the evidence for yourself.
There’s a lot of confusion about death and the afterlife, even within the church. You’ll find Heaven on Earth to be clear, concise, and biblically sound. It’s a quick read—just a little over 100 pages—which makes it a great way to open the door to Gospel conversations with unbelieving friends. The book also offers great comfort and hope to the dying and those who are mourning the loss of loved ones.
