"In this winsome, clear, and compassionate book, Pastor Mallard offers a beautiful and thorough exposition of the Bible's insights on heaven. Whether you're shepherding a loved one through the end of life, facing the shadowy valley yourself, or seeking to transform your outlook with the truths of Scripture, Heaven offers theological riches that will comfort you, instill you with hope, and point you to the One who is making all things new."

- Kathryn Butler, MD, author of Between Life and Death and Glimmers of Grace

"Paul Mallard’s contention in this book is that the church is too focused on the present because we do not think sufficiently about heaven. With characteristic pastoral warmth he explains clearly, faithfully and straightforwardly what the Bible teaches about heaven and the new creation, answering the many questions we naturally have about our life after death. He clears away common misunderstandings and gives the reader a compelling and attractive vision of life with Christ and his people. Those who read this book will be stirred to a more confident hope, deeper longing to be with Christ, and comforted to face the struggles of living in this present age."

- John Stevens, National Director, FIEC

"Soaked in Scripture and laced with a blend of glorious theology and the practical wisdom and winsomeness that accompanies everything Paul writes and teaches, Heaven is a book that answers many of our questions and inspires our souls with a Christ intoxicated longing. I thoroughly recommend it."

- Jeremy McQuoid, Teaching Pastor at Deeside Christian Fellowship

Steadfast in Faith

In Heaven, Paul Mallard presents reasons and a way to live with eternity in view. This is an excellent book to get clear answers and get excited about our heavenly home. Anchored Hope Mallard writes with urgency, saying the church is too focused on the present. He argues that thinking about heaven and focusing on it will actually create a better and more rounded perspective on our lives now. Thinking about heaven is commanded in Scripture; it means we will be with Jesus, it is wise, and it will help us endure with courage. What I especially appreciated about this book was the way Mallard presents it. One chapter gives us the big picture, and another provides quick answers to common questions. For the Christian, our hope is anchored in heaven. Mallard gives this some weight by offering concrete answers about what heaven will be like. We will have a real body—we will have the same body, but a transformed one. Our supernatural body will supersede anything we have known before. Steadfast in Faith We will be recognizable and be with those we know, but also get to know the saints who have gone before us. Although there will be male and female, marriage bonds will cease. Mallard tackles the difficult question of how we can rejoice when those we loved are in hell, and he says that in heaven we will understand God’s justice and grace—enabling us to rejoice. Heaven will also be a life of rest, activity, and satisfaction. I was most moved toward the end of the book, where Mallard gives practical ways to live with heaven in view. He says that looking toward heaven allows us to be comforted in affliction, knowing that life is short and nothing is random. Heaven is a powerful reminder to be holy and to live with humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness, and love. It gives us the courage and determination to be steadfast in our faith. This book brings the reality of heaven to our real lives. Full of comfort and bound for glory. I received a media copy of Heaven and this is my honest review.
