Publisher's summary

If you're going to call it "home" for eternity, don't you want to know what it's like? Our pictures of heaven range from comical to curious, mystical to fictitious, with bits of biblical truth thrown in. But if heaven is our future, and we are to be living with an eternal mind-set in the present, a Hollywood scriptwriter's interpretation of the afterlife just won't suffice. Quite simply, we need to know more about what lies ahead for the sake of what lies in front of us today.

In this newly updated and expanded edition, Pastor John MacArthur takes us through the pages of scripture, exploring the wonders of heaven and the truth about angels and eternal life while addressing current debates and issues. Come along with this best-selling author for an in-depth look at every Christian's future - heaven, our eternal home.

Truth

Thank you John MacArthur for standing for the truth, not backing down from the shallow, cotton candy fluff most deluded Christians want. If you are looking for a feel good, don't condemned me and make heaven some easy and universal mush and gush, you better go elsewhere. However, if you want sound biblical truth listen to this book.

Great book for biblical perspective of heaven

What a great book to unmasked the falsehood of today's trending writings of people's testimonies of near death and after life experiences. At the same time it gives a sound biblical perspective of heaven and it's glories.

Good info, but hidden

What I wanted was in there, but it was surrounded by criticism and refutations of books I haven’t read and don’t intend to read. All I was interested in was what Heaven is like from a Biblical perspective ( the only true perspective). However the author spends quite a lot of time on other books. I see the need to refute false doctrinal teaching, I just wish it wasn’t in a book where all I wanted was Biblical truth.

Spot on

I feel John MacArthur has been very blessed in his exegesis of God’s word. I wish he had a bit more gentleness sometimes in his delivery though. Nonetheless, I do believe that he is preaching God‘s word as God leads him. My thanks to John MacArthur and all those who make these audiobooks available.

Excellent Theology!

MacArthur does a great job of revealing not only the false beliefs about Heaven, but also what Scripture says. if you want to know the truth, then read this.

Not so much about heaven-

--more about what heaven ISN'T. MacArthur should have titled this work "The Falsehood and Deception of Near Death Experience Stories" for that is what the overwhelming majority of this book is about. MacArthur takes apart the details of these stories one by one, explaining why they are false--and obviously with much more of a sense of urgency in relaying the heresy of those texts than going into much detail of his understanding of heaven. That's all well and good--had I wanted to read a book on that subject rather than what I thought it would be about--what the glory of heaven might be like for those of us who are headed there, some sooner than others.

An Education In Heaven

If you could sum up The Glory of Heaven in three words, what would they be?

Spiritually Uplifting Book

What about Tom Parks’s performance did you like?

Tom Parks was clear and concise and I never misheard a word.

Any additional comments?

This book educates us about those who might wish to mislead us with mystical and occultist fables about heaven and angels that was not as God intended. Learn the awesome truth about God, the angels, and God's incredible grace He extends by offering His children a home worthy of the perfect and holy majesty that is God the Father.

Probably should focus more on what is important.

Once the focus was on Heaven instead of other authors the book was really great, but took a long time to get to the meat, Would recommend a couple chapters in. After Heaven (Randy Alcorn) good second read.
