From the Back Cover

Amid all the popular conjecture about Heaven, what does the Bible actually say? And why does it matter?

"Heaven is a surprisingly popular topic in our culture--there is no shortage of books, films, and other media exploring the afterlife. But what does the Bible say? God has provided us with a tantalizing glimpse of Heaven in His Word. Chip Ingram helps us navigate Scripture's teaching and separate fact from fiction in this practical, readable book."--Jim Daly, president, Focus on the Family

"My friend Chip Ingram is a compelling communicator of Truth. The Real Heaven shows us why Heaven matters and gives us guidance as we live with an eternal perspective and personal hope. Don't miss this book!"--Jack Graham, pastor, Prestonwood Baptist Church

"Understanding Heaven is not a waste of time. For Christians, it's one of the most important things we can do! Hope in the promise of what God has prepared for us in the future can make the present much more meaningful, and Chip helps us cling to that hope as he explains The Real Heaven."--Dave Stone, pastor, Southeast Christian Church, Louisville, KY
