The Promise of the New Earth

by Randy Alcorn

Have you ever wondered what Heaven will be like?

Heaven is a place where you can live forever someday—a place without fear, sadness, or pain. It’s also a place full of beauty, joy, activity, and rest. It’s a place where you can meet all sorts of interesting people who will be your friends forever. And it’s a place where you can live with the wonderful and fascinating God who created you and loves you.

Come take a look at what could be your future home.

The Promise of the New Earth combines solid biblical teaching gleaned from Randy Alcorn’s best-selling book, Heaven, with beautiful photography to create a gift book to be treasured. Many Christians think about the present Heaven, where Christians go now when they die, but have never considered the future Heaven, after the resurrection, which will be a physical place occupied by physical people who will live forever with Jesus and all those who love Him.

This refreshed version of Randy’s book The Promise of Heaven features all new photographs and some brand-new content.

I really enjoyed reading this. Questions in my mind about heaven were mostly answered here. It gives me hope, it made me happy knowing there's still a chance for someone like me 😅, and it reminds me to be a better person that's why I might have to read this several times a year to nudge my inner kindness hiding somewhere inside my body 😂

I also appreciate how he doesn't assume like he's sure of what he's saying. He says "I think" basing his answers from the Bible. So I like that. Will buy more books of Randy.

Heaven is Real

I’ve been a believer since March 1988. My journey has been up and down and just a few months ago I unexpectedly lost my wife of 47 years. She was a believer and I am at peace knowing she is in Heaven. However, after her passing, I wanted to know more about what Heaven was like and where I would be joining her someday. This book and Randy’s Q&A summary of his book titled “Heaven” have helped me tremendously. I recommend one or both of these to all believers and non-believers.

Randy, thank you for what you do!

Simple, straightforward writing style. This is a book that you would read more for the message than for the writing. Definitely gave me some new thoughts about the New Earth and New Heaven (different from the present Heaven) that we will experience one day. I hadn’t spent much time thinking about how it will be similar to/different from our present earth, so it has given me more perspective on what we are longing for now and where we will find it - in the newly restored paradise of the new earth.

Maranatha! Lord, come quickly!

I look forward to the time when I get to meet Jesus Christ face to face. Randy Alcorn paints a beautiful picture of the New Heaven and New Earth that I have studied in God's Word.
Maranatha! Lord, come quickly!

Randy Alcorn has made an elusive and most challenging subject both sensible and enticing. A great read indeed!

"There won't be any excuse for saying no to Jesus that will be good enough. If our names aren't written in the book, we'll be turned away." - Randy Alcorn

This book is one that I will return to frequently. The book is a reader’s digest condensed version of his best seller Heaven. Alcorn addresses what Heaven will be like. Great book
