Setting Our Sights on Heaven: Why It's Hard and Why It's Worth It
"Set your minds on things that are above." So urged the Apostle Paul. The followers of Jesus are meant to be a heavenly-minded, heavenly-hearted people. Christians ought to think about heaven, and they ought to do so as those who long for it and who are destined for it. So ... why don't we? Why do we struggle to set our sights on the world to come? Could it be ... we doubt we'll get there? Could it be ... we can't shake the suspicion that heaven will be dull? Could it be ... we're obsessed with something in our past, so that we can't seem to turn and face the future? Could it be ... we haven't come to grips with the shortness and fragility of earthly life?
In Setting Our Sights on Heaven, Paul Wolfe brings out the Bible's teaching about heaven, addressing the various factors that tend to push heaven out of our minds, and provides gospel remedies that help us push it back to where it belongs. Fair Market Value: $18.00; Paperback; 216 pages
Endorsement from Alistair Begg: "Wolfe is two for two. He is not a one-book wonder. He tackles the question of heaven in a down-to-earth fashion that steers clear of the sentimentalism and vague theology so often associated with the subject. This book helps me not only to fulfill my pastoral duty in preparing my people for death but, more importantly, to prepare myself. I am more interested in going to heaven now having read this book!"
