Where do we go when we die? What will Heaven look like? What will we look like when we get there? Will there be reruns of Match Game shown in Heaven? While Dr. Larry Ollison doesn't address all of those questions, he hits the biggies.
Ollison breaks down "end times," while painting a vivid portrait of eternity in his typical engaging, conversational style — with the wisdom and knowledge of some of my other favorite Christian Living authors, including the late Warren W. Wiersbe and Kenneth E. Hagin.
One of Ollison's frequent go-to bullet points is, "the power of the blood." And as a result of the blood shed by Jesus, Ollison reveals there ain't no "purgatory." Ha — take THAT one, "man-made religion!" However, for believers, there IS a wonderful period in "Paradise" (Luke 23:43 NLT). Hooray for "relationship!" But, as they say, "Wait! There's more!" Church Age believers need not fear the Tribulation, as we already will have been rescued to Paradise during the Rapture.
Ollison's writing style speaks plainly to the Everyman. However, "A Place Called Heaven" isn't a "light" or "quick" read. In fact, it's a comprehensive college course, crammed into a concise 250 pages.
The myriad life experiences Ollison weaves in makes the content all the more relatable. And his first-hand accounts of others' testimonies, as well as his music-related perspectives and other personal insights further strengthen the narrative.

Excellent, thought-provoking read! This book is a good reminder that we are all on a journey during our time on earth. It's good to know where your destination will be as we traverse through the chapters of time.

So Uplifting!!!
Dr. Collison has made his way to my top five authors with this book!!! He has continuously used the Scriptures to backup what he has to say. He has truly lifted my spirit with this book. I intend to use it as a kind of study guide that I might help others as it has helped and encouraged me. God bless him in all he does in the Name of our Saviour and Lord, Jesus.

Wow what a fantastic read. As a Christian I need to stay close to God and be faithful in reading His Word every day so that I learn from His Word what will happen in the end times which are very close. This book reinforced so many questions and will need to reread again this year. Great writing Larry. keep it up.

Chapters of a reasonable length and clear writing. Very encouraging and mostly scriptural, except for the part about Lucifer being the worship leader in heaven. I can't find that in the Bible. In fact, the chapter in this book called, "Music in Heaven," was scarcely about music in heaven at all. I didn't like that chapter.

I enjoyed this book very much! it gives me hope for the future, especially during these days of such chaos. I am so thankful that I belong to our Lord Jesus and look forward to spending eternity with him in Heaven!

What a wonderful book full of answers and reassurances. This is a must read for everyone Christians as well as non-Christians.

States many points matter of fact without providing biblical support. Treats descriptions in the Bible as prescription and makes many assumptions without biblical warrant.

Excellent Study
I loved reading the words shared in this book. They gripped my heart and helped clarify God's word! I will read it again to try and capture the truths he shared.

This book offers an insightful perspective on heaven and the end times, and I found it to be scripturally sound. It would make an excellent addition to any Christian's library.
