"Soaked in Scripture and laced with a blend of glorious theology and the practical wisdom and winsomeness that accompanies everything Paul writes and teaches, Heaven is a book that answers many of our questions and inspires our souls with a Christ intoxicated longing. I thoroughly recommend it."

- Jeremy McQuoid, Teaching Pastor at Deeside Christian Fellowship

"Paul Mallard’s contention in this book is that the church is too focused on the present because we do not think sufficiently about heaven. With characteristic pastoral warmth he explains clearly, faithfully and straightforwardly what the Bible teaches about heaven and the new creation, answering the many questions we naturally have about our life after death. He clears away common misunderstandings and gives the reader a compelling and attractive vision of life with Christ and his people. Those who read this book will be stirred to a more confident hope, deeper longing to be with Christ, and comforted to face the struggles of living in this present age."

- John Stevens, National Director, FIEC

"In this winsome, clear, and compassionate book, Pastor Mallard offers a beautiful and thorough exposition of the Bible's insights on heaven. Whether you're shepherding a loved one through the end of life, facing the shadowy valley yourself, or seeking to transform your outlook with the truths of Scripture, Heaven offers theological riches that will comfort you, instill you with hope, and point you to the One who is making all things new."

- Kathryn Butler, MD, author of Between Life and Death and Glimmers of Grace

A one-stop-shop on the topic of Heaven!

This book offers a detailed, comprehensive and insightful look at what the Bible tells us about Heaven. I learned so much through reading it, and have already bought it for two people who have lost close Christian relatives and want a more detailed picture of what eternity with Christ in the 'new heaven and the new earth' will be like. They too are finding it incredibly helpful! The study questions at the back are an excellent addition and make it a great tool to use in a discussion group.
