What is the difference between the study materials available for the Heaven book?

Eternity 101 Video Series (free streaming option)

The Eternity 101 class, filmed at Randy's Heaven course at Corban University, contains 12 one-hour sessions that will help you gain a better understanding of our eternal dwelling place. In this in-depth class, Randy Alcorn talks about the pervasive myths and misconceptions about Heaven, and seeks to answer from Scripture the most frequent questions about life on the New Earth.

All 12 sessions are also available to stream online for free. The class is also available on DVD. 

EPM also offers free class resources, including a study guide with leader’s guide and an inductive study. 

50 Days of Heaven study guide (free download)

We do have a free study guide available for Randy’s devotional 50 Days of Heaven. Randy writes, “Our ministry offers a free study guide to go along with the book. It was originally submitted to us by a kind reader, and then several of our staff further edited and further refined it. I appreciate all the work that was put into it, and I really believe that for many people, this might make a better study than the big Heaven book. A group could work through a few of the daily devotionals in a week, and then meet together to discuss the study questions.”

Out of print, no longer available from EPM:

Heaven Bible Study Workbook 

This is a six-week study in an easy-to-read workbook format. The study follows the central teaching of Randy Alcorn's book Heaven, though not chapter-by-chapter. 

Heaven Small Group Discussion Guide and DVD

This 7-session discussion guide partners with the Heaven Small Group Discussion Guide DVD. Days of study in this study guide correlate to each day's devotion in the 50 Days of Heaven book.

Please note: we have heard from several customers who tried ordering these out of print materials from a third party website and unfortunately, though their cards were charged, they never received their items. These items are no longer available from EPM or Christianbook.com, and we do not recommend trying to order from other websites outside of findng them used on Amazon or eBay.
