Review 81: Heaven (Randy Alcorn)

A general intro to all things having to do with heaven. Very good at unmasking the fact that we know next to nothing about Heaven as American evangelicals. Perhaps because, as John Piper says, "It is hard to go to Heaven in (super-wealthy) America." At times the speculation goes far beyond scripture, too far. Also, Alcorn reaches some dubious conclusions because of his presuppositions. And, he uncomfortable letting Jesus speak for himself at times. However, Alcorn is not shy about the fact that rewards are clearly a proper motivation; he also does a good job describing the nature of these rewards.
