well... I am starting to think I wont be reading any deep theology by Billy Graham. He has a great love for God but he is also a true evangelist. This read was heavenly simple and more for the not-yet christian kinda type. I skipped some titles (every chapter is a question he then answers) because they were too basic.

Beloved evangelist Billy Graham answers perplexing, tough questions regarding Heaven in his new release, the “Heaven Answer book.” Questions such as where Heaven can be found, “…what it’s like…what we will do there...and how we can know we will arrive there when we die…”
Graham points readers to the scriptures for answers, however he adds, “The Bible doesn’t tell us everything we’d like to know…” the bible just tells us “…everything we need to know…”
In this beautifully packaged gift book this stirring evangelist reminds readers, “…the bible is our only authoritative source of information about Heaven…” Although our curiosity is stirred by our own imaginings, he writes, “…human language falls short of describing such majesty….it requires a heavenly transformation to comprehend such glory…” for human eyes to see and really understand…Full Review: http://tinyurl.com/7paj3mo

The Heaven Answer Book by Billy Graham is a compilation of questions on heaven and his explanation of what the Bible says is the answer.
The questions are all ones Christians have asked over Billy Graham’s time in the ministry. He has answered them on different occasions and this book brings them all together in one place for us to read. From will we eat food while in heaven to will we know our friends and family, each question is thoughtfully answered. Using scripture to support his answers you will learn everything the Bible has to say about heaven and our time there.
The plan of salvation is given and easily understood. This book would be great tool to use in presenting the plan of salvation to an unsaved friend. Not only will they read the verses about how to be saved but will have a better understanding of heaven and what it will be like to live eternally with Christ.
I liked everything about this book. It was easy to read. The questions were simple and the answers were easy to understand. I was able to follow each answer given. Meaning the steps and scriptures he presented solidified his answers. This book is a must read for anyone with questions about heaven!
I would like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for the copy of this book I enjoyed reading. I gave an honest review based solely on my opinion of what I read.
I gave this book 5/5 stars.

Questions Answered
I gave this book 5 stars because it answered my questions and even gave me more to think about and pray about. Rev. Billy Graham has a way to make you want to read .. Just one more page. This book is an easy read, I read it in three days. I had a journal nearby to write down key points to help me remember God's word and promises. Looked forward to the next question, but most of all, the answer. I can't wait for Jesus to come back and take me to Heaven. I only pray I am worthy of the journey to get me there. This book helped me to understand what I need to do, to get to Heaven, my eternal home. It will help you also. Thank you Rev. Graham, for your years of learning, teaching and giving of yourself to help someone like me to understand how I can see my Father in Heaven for all Eternity.

A book that all should read.
I have this given book 5 stars because of the truth it contains. I have always looked to Billy Graham as a man who believes in the Word of God and who has always tried to live his life in obedience to God and has tried to reach as many as he could and have them give their life to Christ so that they may spend eternity with God. Such a wonderful promise! This book answers a lot of questions for unbelievers as well as believers. But his answers aren't just his personal beliefs but what the Bible says about each question. Anyone who reads this book will be blessed and I pray if they have not excepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour already, they will through the reading of this book.

Questions answered
I loved reading about my final home written from the perspective of a studied man of God. He answered many of the questions believers and nonbelievers have and used the best resource to qualify his answers - the Bible. Hopefully, I will be able to pass on some of this insight to inquisitive others as I live out my faith. There are so many misconceptions and misunderstandings about heaven that are carefully and wisely addressed here. It is not all-inclusive, but a good base for understanding. Thank you, Billy Graham.

(NOTE: I'm stingy with stars. For me 2 stars means a good book or a B. 3 stars means a very good book or a B+. 4 stars means an outstanding book or an A {only about 5% of the books I read merit 4 stars}. 5 stars means an all time favorite or an A+ {Only one of 400 or 500 books rates this!).
The great news is that I can listen to a book a day at work. The bad news is that I can’t keep up with decent reviews. So I’m going to give up for now and just rate them. I hope to come back to some of the most significant things I listen to and read them and then post a review.
Good theology.

Such a good book. In considering what might be helpful books for family and friends as we come up on Easter in a world that is broken on many levels, this seems like a very good option. This is such a lost world as we seem to stand on the brink of eternity. The absolute foundational promises of God to all who have faith in Christ are clearly outlined in this book. It helps, also, that this book was written by Billy Graham, a man nearly everyone respected deservedly. I definitely recommend this book.

This was a lovely little book, beautiful to hold and handle. Billy Graham always manages to convey complex truths in a way the layperson can understand, and in the face of mysteries too great for any explanation he admits as much and author and reader stand in silence before God, who certainly does not need to explain Himself to anyone. The question and answer format is always fun for me to read so if you have questions about Heaven, 'enquire within'.

I remember in the early 60’s my maternal grandma would make us watch Billy Graham on the television; and look now I am reading his books.
This book has so many questions that it is like reading the bible, giving me answers to many of my questions. This book gives the references of the books such as Revelation 21:25 and many other references of the bible. It is very inspiring, and the ending of the book the prayer is a prayer to pray.

Excellent book! Easy and quick read!! Answers questions about Heaven in a way that you can hear Billy Graham speaking to you as you read. All answers backed by scripture.

AMEN!!!!!
I adore Billy Graham. This book was even more surreal because Mr. Graham has gone Home with Jesus.
This little book packs quite a punch of biblical truth.
The sweetest moment was at the end. Mr Graham writes, “If you and I could sit for a few minutes and talk about heaven.”
I have no doubt I’ll see you there and give you a huge hug.

Joyful!
Reading the words in this book, by Rev. Graham, reminded me of what is waiting for me!! It brought a smile to my face, and joy to my heart. I loved the questions asked, and the answers given. Scripture backed, and easily understood! I feel this is a great read, for anyone, who needs a "reminding" of God's promises, and to just feel uplifted!!

I recommend this book to everyone.
I love all books Billy Graham writes. He speaks in terms that even a child can understand. This book answered so many of my questions. I lost my husband to Covid 3 months ago and this book was a comfort to me because my husband was a Christian.

Purchased this book a couple of weeks after my father passed away. It brought me great comfort to be able to picture him in Heaven, experiencing eternal life that the Bible promises us. I really liked the format of this book--easy to read, specific questions about Heaven, followed by answers Billy Graham found through his reading and studying the Word in the Holy Bible.

Heaven is for heroes
How to live now as we wait for God to take us Home is what I read in this book. There are many scriptures in this book revealing God and inspiring us to live now as we also wait on our his second coming.

A gospel-centered book about heaven written in a Q & A format. Not much depth in the theology or explanation of each topic, but a good resource, especially for those beginning their journey following Jesus.

This book answers a lot of questions
This was a very good book. Easy and quick to read but with good insight. I also recommend Randy Alcorns book,"Heaven", if you want a longer book on this subject.

This is a pretty good book. The chapters are short and concise, yet full of insight. In this book, Billy Graham answers numerous questions about the topic of Heaven and his answers are rooted firmly in The Bible.

This small purple hardback, by a giant in Christianity, is a good overview of Heaven, and seems to back the Bible. It has fresh insights on old information, but I don't find anything new. It's a good reference, overall.
Not part of my book collection.

Excellent book that thoroughly answers some of the toughest questions about Heaven and eternal life from one of the top theologians of our time. A very good and understandable read in simple Q&A format from America's pastor. Well worth the time to read.

I thought this book was informative. I liked the extensive questions and answers in the book. I would recommend the book to anyone who has ever wondered about heaven and those that are sceptical that it exists.
