Synopsis

“In our dollar-oriented and materialistic world, the subject of heaven has been relegated to the back burner.”  —J. Oswald Sanders
 
Heaven. It’s a topic we don’t often discuss; and when we do, we’re not exactly sure what to think. As author J. Oswald Sanders neared the end of his own life, he was curious too. So he searched Scripture to find out what it said about heaven being the final home for believers. He gathered biblical insights for himself as well as to share with you about the timeless topic of eternity and what that looks like.
 
Written in a question and answer format, Heaven Better by Far is an easy-to-read book that will answer your questions about heaven and eternity. You’ll find answers directly from Scripture regarding common questions like:
 
What is death anyway?
How do we gain entrance into heaven?
Will we know one another in heaven?
What will we do in heaven?
 
Challenge the popular notions about heaven and find out from a biblical perspective what awaits believers at the end of our earthly life.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Heaven: Better By Far is a rare digest of biblical insights into the timeless topic of heaven, and the finale of one who prepared himself for nearly a century for that day when he would experience how heaven is better by far.

If your idea of heaven is having a "mansion just over the hilltop," J. Oswald Sanders has important news for you. While heaven will provide a final home for those who love God, the author of Heaven: Better By Far explains that "so incredibly glorious is heaven that we are compelled to express it in negations and symbols of grandeur and majesty." He says the popular view--that heaven is like the most luxurious place we know, only better--falls far short of reality.

Recognizing that he was near heaven's gates, Sanders approached the subject with more than a scholarly interest. His honesty caused him to challenge some popular notions, and his personal curiosity prompted him to address many relevant questions, such as:

What is Death Anyway?

How Do We Gain Entrance to Heaven?

Is Heaven a Place or a State of Mind?

Will We Know One Another in Heaven?

What Will Our Resurrection Bodies Be Like?

What Will We Do in Heaven?

What Will Heaven Be Like?

Will Mansions Be Awaiting Us?

Who Will Receive Rewards?
