What is Heaven really going to be like?
What will we look like?
What will we do every day?
Won't Heaven get boring after a while?

We all have questions about what Heaven will be like, and after twenty-five years of extensive research, Dr. Randy Alcorn has the answers.

In the most comprehensive and definitive book on Heaven to date, Randy invites you to picture Heaven the way Scripture describes it — a bright, vibrant, and physical New Earth, free from sin, suffering, and death, and brimming with Christ's presence, wondrous natural beauty, and the richness of human culture as God intended it.

God has put eternity in our hearts. Now, Randy Alcorn brings eternity to light in a way that will surprise you, spark your imagination, and change how you live today.

If you've always thought of Heaven as a realm of disembodied spirits, clouds, and eternal harp strumming, you're in for a wonderful surprise.

This is a book about real people with real bodies enjoying close relationships with God and each other, eating, drinking, working, playing, traveling, worshiping, and discovering on a New Earth. Earth as God created it. Earth as he intended it to be.

And the next time you hear someone say, "We can't begin to imagine what Heaven will be like, you will be able to tell them, "I can.

"My ministry focus is communicating the strategic importance of using our earthly time, money, possessions, and opportunities to invest in need-meeting ministries that count for eternity," Alcorn says. "I do that by trying to analyze, teach, and apply the implications of Christian truth."

As the author of the new novel Safely Home (Tyndale House Publishers), Alcorn highlights the needs of Christians in China while demonstrating the eternal hope embraced by persecuted believers.

Alcorn is the author of several books, including Money, Possessions, and Eternity; Christians in the Wake of the Sexual Revolution (also called Restoring Sexual Sanity); Women Under Stress; Pro-Life Answers to Pro-Choice Arguments; and In Light of Eternity: Perspectives on Heaven. His novels include the best-sellers Deadline, Dominion, Edge of Eternity, Lord Foulgrin's Letters, and The Ishbane Conspiracy.

Before starting EPM in 1990, Alcorn co-pastored for thirteen years at Good Shepherd Community Church outside Gresham, Oregon. He has ministered in many countries, including China, and is a popular teacher and conference speaker. Randy has taught part-time on the faculties of Western Seminary and Multnomah Bible College, both in Portland, Oregon.

Alcorn has written numerous articles for magazines such as Discipleship Journal, Moody, Leadership Journal, New Man, and The Christian Reader. He produces the quarterly issues-oriented magazine Eternal Perspectives and has been a guest on more than 350 radio and television programs.

Alcorn resides in Gresham, Oregon, with his wife, Nanci, and their Dalmatian, Moses. The Alcorns have two married daughters, Karina and Angela.
