Thoughtful reflections on the Christian's forever home -- Heaven! This book is full of what the Bible says about heaven, with numerous verses and quotations from various old-time writers like Samuel Rutherford, Richard Baxter and John Bunyan. This edition was somewhat updated, although most of the scripture was from the King James Version. My one criticism is that there are places where the narrative seems pieced together from other sources -- which I suspect is just the case. But altogether this is a nice way to meditate on a subject that we don't spend enough time thinking about: our eternal home with God.
