Heavenly Reflections

This book of short essays on the topic of "Heaven" is a gem. These wise and wonderful writers offer a beautiful tapestry of visions of heaven "above" and of heavenly life here on earth. I highly recommend this book of essays for people from any spiritual or theological location. It is well worth a read, and I didn't put it down until I had read all the essays. Imagining heaven may help us get "there" and may help "there" get to us!
