I want to bring your attention to the right side of this page, to my "Frequent Lurks" list. I have added another one, and I want you to see it.
Eternal Perspectives is Randy Alcorn's blog. It isn't too deep or anything, much of it is light-hearted. But I wanted to plug him in here.
Of all the books I've read, you will hear me reference a few that made a significant impact on my life. I read Randy's book Heaven not long after a dearly beloved relative passed away. For growing up in the church, I never came away with a solid grasp or understanding of the eternal afterlife. What it is? What do we do for eternity? What exactly does the Bible say? What about what it doesn't say? What about all my beloved pets? (Sorry, but that is a question every desperate child asks, and no parent can answer. Now, I can)
This book was so full of answers and scriptures and everything I needed at that point in my life, I know that God sent this book to me. It is one I can read annually for the rest of my life, and never tired of. Every time I read it, I cry repeatedly. Tears streaming down my face, can't read the print, bawling. When I finish, I long for, no really really long for, my true home. Those saying I grew up with in the church never meant anything in my heart, but now they are a treasure to my soul. Especially this one
"Marantha, Lord Jesus, Come quickly!"
