Heaven on Earth
What the Bible Teaches about Life to Come
Derek W. H. Thomas
Exploring the Bible’s teaching on heaven
Mitigating popular views of life after death
Showing the joys of this wonderful doctrine
Do you know with any certainty where your conscious, thinking, self–aware, communicative self will be after you die? And does it matter, as long as you are in ‘heaven’? But the importance of ‘heaven’ does not consist only in it being the alternative to ‘hell’. It is not just an abstract future state into which we will slip, it is a physical reality which can give us joy and hope even now as we look toward it.

Christian Focus
Here is encouragement for us in a gloom-laden world. Always joyful, sometimes playful, Dr. Derek Thomas shows us what John Newton called the 'Solid joys and lasting treasures' that are the Christian's birth-right. A truly hope-full, wonder-full, joy-full book to read, treasure, and share.

This book's topic is vital for the Christian life. Christians need to be clear on their hope, and we won't be clear on our hope until we trust in what God in the Scriptures says is to come for all who trust in Christ.

What is it like? What happens when I die? What takes places at the end of human history? Derek Thomas makes for a terrific guide in exploring these critical matters. I was greatly edified in reading this book.

It’s our home and where we belong. But do we know just what it is we look forward to? Derek Thomas shows us from God’s word what we can expect in eternity. In doing so, he stirs a longing for the glories and joys to come.
