Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your book on heaven was fantastic!  Why didn't I see it all this time? Now when I read the Bible, it will be ever more exciting. What a future to look forward to in Jesus. I checked Heaven out of the library at church, and now I just have to purchase one at the Christian book store to give away! —D.K.

Your research and imagination have kindled in me a Jesus-passion only the flood could extinguish. —C.B. 

Heaven was the first book I read, just days after burying my five-year-old son. Not to minimize the call God placed on my life, but reading that book got me totally focused on my precious child's current existence. When I made myself fully familiar with what God's Word has to say about Heaven, I was in a completely different mindset about my loss. The pain will never go away, but what comfort I feel when I focus on the goings on of heaven!
    Four years later, I am strong enough to minister to other moms, and am co-hosting a conference for grieving mothers who will each be given, as my personal gift, a copy of the book Heaven. I'm so thankful I had my copy as early in my loss as I did, and just wanted to share what a difference it has made in my grief experience. —D.T.

My youngest daughter is 19. She is an “evangelist” for Randy’s book, Heaven. She’s ripped it from cover-to-cover, and recommended it to more people more times than I can count. She has one of our church elders currently reading it, and she has pushed it to the “New Year’s Resolution” list for me! She also follows Randy on Twitter. It’s pretty significant to grip the mind and heart of a nineteen-year-old college student. I will always be grateful! —W.M.

I read Heaven after my brother died four years ago at the young age of twenty-seven. The only real comfort in my grief has been focusing on the fact that I too am Heaven-bound and that our reunion is certain, as my brother too was a believer. As the anniversary of my brother’s death approaches, my thoughts turn again to the pictures your book paints of Heaven and I feel my hope restored in the midst of my sadness. Thank you. —C.P.

This book has changed my life. This is the most accurate and researched book I have ever read. Randy Alcorn didn’t write anything I had not heard before, but he presented it in such a way that opened my eyes and brought it all together to make perfect sense. This should be a required read for everyone. —B.W.

I just started reading Heaven and I have already devoured the first section. I know this book will have a profound impact on me. I was reading it while on a plane and it sparked conversation between me and the two guys I was sitting between. I was able to give them a very real picture of both Heaven and Hell and clearly present the Gospel while also addressing the many objections and questions they had. I could tell all the people around us were also listening in on our conversation. Thank you for writing this stimulating book. —L.H.

My sister was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. In the fall of that year I gave her a copy of Heaven telling her that I had no idea where this journey would take us, but that her view of her future would be forever changed by this book. She never discussed the book with me and died three years later. I was at her home and found the copy of Heaven that I had given her. The dustcover was tucked into the last page of the next to the last chapter. I read it again and thanked God for such a great gift. I flipped to the front and inscribed to me was this: “I know now—can’t wait.” Thank you, Randy, for the gift you gave my sister. —B.T.

I bought my precious father (who served the Lord faithfully at a Bible school for 30 years) a copy of Heaven years ago and he read it and reread it.  He loved Jesus faithfully and passionately all his life—and the book meant so much to him. It was on his bedside table the night he died and the verses he had underlined were read at his funeral. He totally loved the idea of a restored Earth—and he grew increasingly impatient to be with the Lord. At the age of 92 he got his wish. —H.M.

I lost my daughter at eight years old. I didn’t get a warning, no goodbye, nothing and the worst part about it, I was at work saving lives in surgery when I received that tragic phone call. I lost all hope and the only thing I wanted was to die. I kept asking God, “How can I go on living after this?” God started working on me and then a very close friend of mine gave me Heaven. In partnership with God working Himself, the book Heaven lifted me up and gave me hope. I still refer back to it when I need to be lifted. What’s a better thought than the thought of going to Heaven and experiencing what great things awaits us? —D.B.

I read Heaven a month after my sister and mother died only three weeks apart. It helped me immensely. My daughter was also killed in a car accident when she was only 7 and I especially liked the part that says I could possibly watch her grow up in Heaven. That did a work in my Spirit that was so badly needed for over 30 years. I will miss her until we’re united, but it does make Heaven closer to me. —J.J.

This is by far the most exhaustive study done on the topic of Heaven. I anxiously awaited this book for years and was even more impressed with the finished product than I imagined. It has strengthened me and my resolve to be a better follower of Christ. It is an exciting read and a must read for every Christian and everyone who just wants to know what happens next. —K.D.

Perspective is what is often needed in our lives as we face difficult or challenging circumstances. Even if our lives are going great perspective is so helpful. Randy’s book on Heaven does just that—gives perspective. By seeing the whole picture—at least as much as God has shown us at this point—we are encouraged to move forward in life. If we are facing tough times it is so helpful to know that present difficulties pale in comparison to what God has provided for us. If life is great, Randy’s book reminds us to not try to find Heaven in what we do, who we are, or in our material success.
    As a seminary educated person, I was surprised at how little I knew about this subject. As the saying goes, I know what I know, but I don’t know what I don’t know. Randy’s book showed me a lot that I don’t know. —L.C.

Your book Heaven is a wonderful book. I am a Norwegian Christian of 71 years, and I was so excited when I read the book. I lost my husband over six years ago and I look forward to meeting him and other family there, but the greatest of all must be to see Jesus!I'm forever grateful that you wrote this book about Heaven. —T.B.E., Norway

The book Deadline has completely transformed me and my faith through a very tragic event. In 2005 my wife of 9 years and my 6-year-old son were killed in front of my eyes the day before Easter by a truck driver that fell asleep at the wheel as we changed a flat tire on the side of the Interstate. That summer I was handed your book Deadline. I opened it to read and did not stop until I had completed the whole book. After Deadline I read Dominion, and then Heaven.
     I did walk away from God after the accident, having doubts about how a loving and caring God could allow such a tragedy. In 2008 I returned to Him. Since then I feel as though, my faith and my personal walk with God has grown stronger than it ever was in the 30 years prior to the wreck.
     Now I can see that day in 2005 from a different perspective. I can see the Angels being present, taking my wife and son home, and standing between myself and danger, with their wings spread, and swords drawn. My two daughters who were also in the car said they felt a giant hand covering them and keeping them against the right rear door of the car until it came to a stop. That window they were against was the only glass still intact. I can see God's angels protecting and shielding them as well.
     Thank you for the faith I have been able to re-establish with my heavenly father by reading your books. —S.K.

In our Sunday school class we've been studying your book Heaven. The teacher mentioned today that your book saved his life. His son committed suicide several years ago and after his loss he read around a hundred books looking for solace, but found none until your book. Until your book, our teacher wasn't sure he wanted to live the rest of his life either. Your study has saved a life to live and teach for the kingdom. —P.H.
