Heaven is a Place on Earth
by Michael Eugene Wittmer

Drawing heavily on the story of Scripture without minimizing the tension between this world and the world to come, this book persuasively explains how our next life actually supplies deep significance for the life we enjoy now encouraging us to celebrate creation, hone our humanity, and extend the grace of redemption to every corner of our existence.

I am really excited by this week's book: HEAVEN IS A PLACE ON EARTH.
For me, its message resonates strongly with what our teaching pastor at church has been teaching us lately.

For example, Wittmer's paragraphs under
"Heaven Is Not My Home, I'll Just Be Passin' Through" (BAMM Christian Book Club-Heaven-2) re-freshened my understanding of the passage:
Romans 8:18-25, concerning God's re-glorification of creation. "(v21) All creation anticipates the day when it will join God's children in glorious freedom from death and decay. (v23) We, too, wait anxiously for that day when God will give us our full rights as his children, including the new bodies he has promised us." (New Living Translation)
I am looking forward to more insights from this book!
