Review Summary: It Makes Heaven Real - Highly Recommended!
Date: 2007-11-30
Details: Shortly after the passing of my wife I was given a copy of 50 Days of Heaven by a friend who is an internationally known and highly respected Evangelical theologian who has himself authored several theological books - which are available from Amazon.
As a life-long Christian I had no doubt that my wife and I would be reunited in Heaven, although with a somewhat altered relationship, but the thought was not as comforting as I would wish. My concepts about heaven were somewhat intangible and "spiritual."
Randy Alcorn's book has changed all that. I now have some very specific ideas about what Heaven will be like with regard to physical characteristics of what he calls the "New Earth" as well as personal relationships, duties and responsibilities and living conditions throughout eternity.
His point that we will retain our memories of each other (or we would not actually retain our unique personhood) is very comforting. I now view my wife's death as the beginning of a temporary separation which will be concluded with our reunion in Heaven where our relationship will continue throughout eternity. Although we will no longer be man and wife, our memories of an enduring loving relationship on earth will form the basis of a similar eternal relationship. Our happiness was always founded on being together and doing things together, not on where we were or what we were doing. In Heaven it can only be better!
This book contains 50 four-page essays on a variety of subjects. It is a condensation of Alcorn's longer book entitled Heaven. Those who enjoy the smaller book may want to continue their study in greater detail by reading Heaven.
