About the author

(John Charles Ryle) Ryle started his ministry as curate at the Chapel of Ease in Exbury, Hampshire, moving on to become rector of St Thomas's, Winchester in 1843 and then rector of Helmingham, Suffolk the following year. While at Helmingham he married and was widowed twice. He began publishing popular tracts, and Matthew, Mark and Luke of his series of Expository Thoughts on the Gospels were published in successive years (1856-1858). His final parish was Stradbroke, also in Suffolk, where he moved in 1861, and it was as vicar of All Saints that he became known nationally for his straightforward preaching and firm defence of evangelical principles. He wrote several well-known and still-in-print books, often addressing issues of contemporary relevance for the Church from a biblical standpoint. He completed his Expository Thoughts on the Gospels while at Stradbroke, with his work on the Gospel of John (1869). His third marriage, to Henrietta Amelia Clowes in 1861, lasted until her death in 1889.

Reviews

This is a short tract that Ryle wrote (96 pages of LARGE PRINT). If I wanted to hand out a little book so that someone could learn a biblical idea of Heaven, I would give them this. This is far more encouraging than any of the “Heaven and back” stories. Ryle bases everything in this book on Heaven in Scripture. Definitely check this out!

Don't Miss Heaven.....

Excellent book by an excellent theologian with excellent writing skills. The point the author makes is don't miss Heaven and its marvelous wonders to come and to continue forevermore. This book really makes you think and if you are wise to make a most critical decision to insure that you Don't Miss Heaven. Most highly recommend that you take the time to read and reflect on this excellent book.if

Encouragement

Ryle fearless defends the faith delivered to us, the sure and certain hope of eternal life in the company of saints who have gone beforehand and will yet arrive safe home. The priceless treasure of fellowship with Jesus for ever.

very good short read

Very good book about the foundational truth of repentance. People who are repentant are ready for Heaven while those who think they are fine are ready for hell

[Emile Hampson · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good introduction to the Christian Doctrine of heaven. Would be a good discussion starter among Christians or with unbelievers. Though brief this little book treats the subject well.

Only downside is that it could have been a little more explicit on the Gospel, it is clearly at the forefront of the authors mind however given the audience the author writes to this is no surprise. Just make sure to follow up with any unbeliever you recommend this to.
