We’re just passing thru to our final destination! As a follower of Jesus I’m excited to be going to heaven when my journey on earth is done. So much to look forward to but the best thing about heaven is that Jesus is there! Heaven is always better...it’s Heaven revealed!

When I first started reading this book, I realized that I really didn’t know much about Heaven itself. Yes I know that everyone who loves Jesus and has given themselves over to God will eventually go there. However, beyond that, Heaven was an extremely mysterious concept.
Paul starts out by telling us why he wanted to know what Heaven was. He had been married to Helen for years. After she passed away, he felt lonely and lost. He still had his belief in God. However, he really missed Helen. So he decided he wanted to learn more about Heaven in the attempts of understanding where Helen was.
Paul discusses the fact that there are three different ways in which Heaven is referenced in the Bible. He then goes into detail on each. He further expounds on how we raise up to Heaven and then what our existence will be like once we are there.
One thing that I really liked was that he backed everything up with Bible references. However, he does not list the verses themselves, just the references (such as 2 Cor 2:12) so that you can look them up yourself.

The writing of Heaven Revealed was birthed out of Paul Enns’s grief after unexpectedly losing his beloved bride of 45 years. With so many questions about what heaven was like, Paul searched book after book hoping to find answers to his many questions.
I found this book to be interesting but I can’t say that I agree with everything the author wrote. Ultimately, no one knows for sure what heaven is like until they arrive so the main goal would be to reach that destination! However, the Bible does give us some glimpses of what eternity looks like for the believer and that hope of heaven is what keeps us motivated to “press towards the mark”. (Phillipians 3:14)
The author’s speculations include that believers in Heaven will retain their ethnic identities, some will farm, cultivate orchards, raise lifestock and fish while others may build homes, compose music and play musical instruments.
While reading this book you need to keep in mind that these are the author’s interpretations of scripture.
The main thing is that Jesus is in heaven and for the believer, this is the ultimate motivation; spending eternity with our Savior. I did appreciate that at the end of this book, the author writes about salvation and how to be assured that you will spend eternity with Christ.

Paul Enns reminds us that there will come a day with no more sorrow and pain in his recent publication of Heaven Revealed. This book which I received from the Publisher, MP Newsroom, in exchange for my honest review couldn't hav ce came at a better timing. I was reading while care-taking my mother-in-law who was in her last stages of lung cancer. She passed away last week and I have reread many chapters of comfort not only for myself but to share with her family. Reading this book makes one excited about the afterlife. Mr. Enns uses scripture to define what we can expect to happen there and what we will be doing. It makes whatever struggle we may be encountering seem minute compared to the joy that awaits us over there for eternity. From my personal experience I would highly recommend to all those who are grieving or experiencing loss. Chapter 5 gives great hope to those who may be suffering from illness by sharing the promise that our bodies will be perfect in Heaven. I will cherish this book and keep it as a tool whenever I need to remember the awesome promise of the afterlife.

Have you ever wished you could know more about heaven? I think most every living Christian has. Paul Enns has written a book about that very topic,Heaven Revealed: What Is It Like? What Will We Do?... And 11 Other Things You've Wondered About. He was inspired by the death of his wife, Helen. I thought one of the best parts of the book was his obvious devotion to Helen.
The book goes through many basic questions (What kind of body will we have? What will life be like?) with good scriptural answers, for the most part. A few places I felt he went off the tracks a little, such as the assertion Enns makes that in heaven, we'll see our parents as being older than us, and they'll see us as being younger than them. I was curious where he got this idea, and he attributed it to author Randy Alcorn. Alcorn may be a fine author, but I would be a little leery of making such a statement based on Alcorn's beliefs rather than on the Bible.
Still, this is an informative and comforting book overall.

After the sudden death of his long-time wife, Enns began grappling more personally with the Bible’s teaching on heaven. Much of this book is the fruit of that study and Enns helpfully breaks down what we can know about heaven from Scripture, debunking common misconceptions. Several problems abound, however, including Enns speaking solely from his eschatological bias which, while understandable, tends to come across as ostentatious. With such a potent topic, I was hoping for more.

Solid read
A solid book that caused me to think again about the joys of heaven. The best parts of the book are some quotes from other authors on heaven. His synthesis is what brings value to this book

Positive examination of Scripture to study many Biblical references to Heaven.
