Heaven--Here and Now: True Stories of God's Kingdom Here on Earth

If life is a test of sorts, a journey preparing us for heaven--shouldn't there be bits of heaven around us already? This book unveils them In the book of Matthew, Jesus repeatedly describes heaven--and each time He uses ordinary, earthly examples. This world has many wonderful and mysterious aspects that we might think better suited to describe something as magnificent as heaven--but Jesus uses mustard seeds, hiring workers, children, and weeds as examples. "Heaven--Here and Now" considers those examples--chosen for a different culture in a different time--and applies them to the here and now, to the everyday stuff of our ordinary lives. It's a beautiful preview of heaven.
