Editorial Review: Product Description: A recent Newsweek poll reports that 76 percent of Americans believe in heaven. Yet even avid believers have difficulty conjuring up more than vague images of halos, harps, and wispy angels in flowing robes. Anthony DeStefano knew there had to be a more complete, meaningful, and comforting vision of what heaven is like, and A Travel Guide to Heaven is the entertaining and enlightening result. Using the Bible as his guide, the author notes that heaven is not only a spiritual place, but also a physical place, a fabulous “luxury resort” more sumptuous than any on Earth. The residents are real, their bodies transformed into their most perfect selves—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. By making a spiritual subject immensely physical, the book provides a picture of amazing places to visit, things to do, luxuries for pampering—not to mention deep, abiding joy. Combining the clarity and logic of C. S. Lewis with a terrific sense of fun and adventure, DeStefano creates a brilliant, reassuring portrait of heaven, a place that has intrigued and puzzled humankind throughout history. With its clear view of the afterlife, A Travel Guide to Heaven might best be compared to James Van Praagh's Talking to Heaven or Betty J. Eadie's Embraced by the Light in its tremendous message of comfort and reassurance. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - There's better books on this . . .This book has problems. If you want to read a thoughtful, Scripture-backed book on what to expect in Heaven, I suggest Randy Alcorn's. Rating:  - Heavenly PossibilitiesThis book is an imaginative, fun conception of what heaven COULD be like based on the author's interpretation of various Scripture passages, Church tradition, and the desire to give people an uplifting concept of heaven that is not bogged down with overly pious negativity. Who knows how accurate it is or isn't? I imagine that in heaven people won't waste time looking for reasons to criticize others or their ideas. If we each started that practice today, we just might get a taste of now! Bravo, Mr. Destefano for giving us something to look forward to! Rating: - RefresherFor all those Christians who are somewhat reluctant to "give up" this earth on account of the loving attachment they have for it, this book is a refreshing breath of air. Heaven is not static, nor is it altogether removed from the realm we know as earth. Lots of nagging questions are dealt with in this simple book. While it may not withstand all critical Christian investigation ,it will nonetheless allow your thought processes to encounter intriguing notions. A good book to pass along... |
