Review Summary: Amen to "Broad Speculation; Shallow and Muddled Doctrine"
Date: 2008-11-08
Details: Read the review by Encompassed Runner (May 3, 2006)
He submits a very accurate description.
The fact that there are so many multi-star reviews of this product is an indicator (there are others of course) that Biblical illiteracy has possibly reached pandemic levels in the Evangelical community.
This book = quasi-scholarship.
It is the theological equivalent of a Hollywood "Feel-Good" flick.
If one is going to write on a Biblically based theme, it should be done with accuracy...or not at all.
The author has probably made beaucoup bucks off this thing...was this his primary motive for its creation ?
Let's all hope this writer doesn't write a follow-up volume on Hell...with more inaccuracies & speculation.

Review Summary: Heaven
Date: 2008-11-07
Details: This book heaven by Randy Alcorn is really an exhaustive research project on all biblical references to heaven. The author does a good job of pointing out the false thoughts and statements about heaven that permeate society, some of which have been around for a long time. He also paints heaven in such a great way, helping the reader to realize what an amazingly beautiful and wonderful place it will be. He also teaches how our life here on earth (for those who put their trust in Christ) is preparation for our eternity in heaven. Reading this book really helps the Christ follower get excited for eternity. It also may help those who have not yet put their faith in Christ, to learn more about that, so that they too will be able to spend their eternity in the unbelievably wonderful heaven God is creating.Heaven
Review Summary: Required Reading
Date: 2008-10-16
Details: This book explains many of the mysteries and unbeliefs of the general population. It should be required reading and is completely balanced with Scripture. All of us should be aware that there is not only a Heaven, but there is also a Hell and we each must do everything we can to avoid going there by default. It explains how we must know Jesus Christ as our Personal Savior in order to enjoy the wonders and perfection of Eternal Life. I wish I had known about it many years ago. It would make a great Christmas gift.

Review Summary: Heaven, by Randy Alcorn
Date: 2008-09-29
Details: Randy Alcorn did a superb job of painting a potentially realistic picture of Heaven. He used numerous Scriptural references as well as his imagination, to come up with his descriptions of what may very well be what Heaven will be like for believers. I recommend it highly as a book that can encourage us in our daily lives and comfort us as we face the death of loved ones and our own immortality.
