Three Book Giveaway of the Month: Heaven for Kids

The Heaven for Kids book giveaway is now closed. Please check back on April 7 for the next giveaway.

From Randy: Stephanie’s stepping in again with a new book giveaway. I loved reading all your comments last time. Glad we’re giving you the audio option this time. Personally, I love listening to books on my CD player. And nice to have them on my IPod when I’m flying somewhere. Kids are always listening to stuff, and it was fun imagining a group of them in front of me as I read the book in the recording studio ...

Book Giveaway of the Month: Heaven

The Heaven giveaway is now closed. Check back on May 12 for the next giveaway.

I’ve been looking forward to featuring Heaven as this month’s book giveaway simply because of the many wonderful reader responses to the book we’ve received such as this recent one: 

On Valentine's Day 2007 my husband of 25 years died very unexpectedly on his 50th birthday. As you can imagine I was and still am devastated. His journey to our eternal home led me in search of a book so that I might study and become more knowledgeable about Heaven. At ...

Resolved Conference 2008, Palm Springs

Two weeks ago this moment, Nanci and I were flying home after the Resolved Conference in Palm Springs. Coming back to a green Oregon summer was nice after it hit 115 degrees in Palm Springs.

Creator and Culture, and Anticipating a Redeemed Earth

A Christian I met in passing once told me it troubled him that he really didn’t long for Heaven. Instead, he yearned for an Earth that was like God meant it to be.

99 Balloons: Celebrating the Life of Eliot Mooney

This is a story that I heard, but wanted more details on, so asked Stephanie to find them. I think you will be as touched by it as I was. 
 
I first learned of Eliot Mooney maybe a year ago, but when someone else forwarded the video again recently, I thought it was time to feature it on this blog.

Christian the Lion: A Foreshadow of People and Animals on God’s New Earth

The giveaway is now closed, but be sure to check back at Randy's blog on October 6 to enter the Deadline book giveaway.

God’s answers for your every need

Have you ever wondered —

Is Heaven going to be completely different from Earth?
What will our resurrection bodies look like?
What will we do for all eternity?
Will there be animals and sports and food and…?

We all have questions about what Heaven will be like. Now, TouchPoints: Heaven puts God ...

Video of Elizabeth Wall: Way Bigger than her Cystic Fibrosis

Since many have told me how much they appreciated the video with Christian the Lion, I'm going to do something a little different over the next 12 days or so. I'll post four videos that I think will be well worth your time. I'll put them in four separate blogs. 

Aggie Hurst: A Story of Eternal Perspective

While we were unable to find any real pictures of Aggie or her family, I hope this story of God's faithfulness through the sacrifice of missionary couple David and Svea Flood will inspire you.

I've been thinking of it in context of a big book I'm writing on the problem of evil and suffering. How many times has God had a purpose in events that seemed senseless at the time they happened? How many things that seem pointless now will later be seen to have a divine point?

Consider Joseph and his brothers who horribly betrayed him ...
