Gain a fresh perspective on heaven from someone who has endured more than her share of earthly challenges for over fifty years--quadriplegia, cancer, and chronic pain.
Joni Eareckson Tada's bestseller Heaven has inspired us to live well on earth even as we long for eternity, but as Joni tells us in this updated and expanded edition of Heaven, the longer you journey with your eyes on heaven, the more you begin to see.
A quadriplegic for over fifty years, Joni has also endured cancer and extreme ongoing pain, and she doesn't speak lightly when she reminds us that, "God knows the precise tools to use in your life to cut, facet, cleanse, and refine the diamond that is your eternal soul . . . Every good thing that God has ever given you will last for all eternity--including the best part of every affliction."
It is from this vantage point that Joni now speaks about how we can live for Jesus as we look forward to our real home in heaven. Drawing on Scripture, Joni answers the deepest questions of our hearts, including:
Join Joni as she invites you on this journey of looking back on God's faithfulness, discovering how we got to where we are, and looking forward to our real home.
Praise for Heaven:
"Joni is a friend of mine who has been leading people with love and courage for decades. God uses the most unlikely guides to take us up the rugged terrain in our faith. God's plan is pretty simple. He wants us to spend forever with Him. This life is just practicing for eternity. Will we face difficulties and setbacks? You bet. In this updated book, Joni has taken us once again to the high places, and she's done so from her chair."
--Bob Goff, author of the New York Times bestsellers Love Does and Everybody Always
This description may be from another edition of this product.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.
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.
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 BIBLEPerhaps 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
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!
