NCLA Review - Heaven is a difficult idea for us earthbound creatures to grasp. Our language and our way of thinking are earthly whereas heaven defies all this. Yet we must say something about heaven—but what?
A group of writers—pastors, artists, historians, poets, teachers, therapists, novelists, spiritual guides—was asked of help us think and speak about this enigmatic subject. Here are a few choice statements:
“Heaven exists in the presence of the God ‘unto whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid’”; “Music is of God, and music is with God, and music is how God expresses him- or herself, and music is everywhere”; “Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads” (Thoreau). This book provides refreshing images of the life to come from thoughtful, creative people.
