Heaven: Think On These Things

A hangout for bored angelic beings, stranded on fluffy clouds, plunking on ancient harps? Say goodbye to that unbiblical cliché forever! Heaven will be bustling with more people and action than New York City at Christmastime. There will be thousands of activities in this place that was perfectly designed with you in mind.

Pull back the heavenly curtain for just a moment and take a peek at a place where you can banish boredom forever and completely lose track of time. At God’s right hand are “pleasures forevermore” (Ps. 16:11).

Each chapter starts with commentary on concepts taken right out of the Scriptures, with accompanying Bible texts, followed by a narrative of what that biblically-sound concept might look like as you experience it firsthand.

Revised and expanded second edition includes:

• Group discussion questions at the end of each chapter
• Every chapter revised and expanded
• Brand new chapter on the War in Heaven
• Brand new chapter on Theodicy (Why does God allow suffering?)
• Martin’s simple, effective CWP Bible Marking System
• Bonus preview chapter from upcoming prequel
• Recipe: World’s Best Tamale Pie (you’ll see why!)

What are you waiting for? Pull back the heavenly curtain, take a good, long look around, and “think on these things,” today.

Carl Martin is an optimist, thanks to the promises of God. But this was not always so. Immediately after his high school graduation, he took a prodigal journey away from his hometown and moved to Southern California in pursuit of a career in Hollywood, where he studied acting and screenwriting and soon landed an agent. But through a providential series of events, his eyes were opened, and he dedicated his life and abilities to serving Christ and spreading the gospel. Professionally, he has trained hundreds of managers and employees in leadership, government compliance, time management, goal-setting and interpersonal development in corporate America. Carl has spoken at universities, churches, camp meetings, schools, retreats, and other events across the United States and overseas. He has held speaking tours in Jinotega, Nicaragua and eight cities along the eastern coast of Australia in 2016. In 2004 he returned to his hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee with his wife Coleen, and their two kids Daltry and Darby.
