[Frank Peters · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a lovely book, and I greatly enjoyed it. The first part was especially good. I thought the author did an outstanding job with his main topic – the future hope of the Christian. Well done! It was unfortunately unclear to me who the target audience of the book was, and this hurt the flow of the book toward the end. As an evangelist the author ended with essentially an altar call. While I am not criticising an alter call per se, I did not think it fit well with the rest of the book. As a result, near the end of the book I started to wonder why I was reading it and then had to remind myself that the first part of the book was really good.

Christians have no excuse not to be full of hope. This book explains why. It should surprise and attract not-yet believers. It may also surprise Christians who have never quite grasped 'heaven' and felt it was distant and somehow not very attractive. As Michael explains, this may be because the Bible's teaching may be different to what people have thought. The hope we have is so extravagant and real and attractive that it should change our lives. This book is written to share with not-yet believers BUT will delight Christians too. It is full of humour, excellent illustrations and crystal-clear explanations.
