I continue to be humbled and amazed at the ways that God has used the Heaven book. As our ministry continues to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the book’s release, we’re grateful for the notes we’ve received from readers sharing how the book has impacted their lives. Here are just a few of them. 

Countless Christians in Bible-believing churches have been held in bondage for many years by false and widespread views of Heaven and eternity. Despite the clear teaching of Scripture, the pushback against the New Earth used to be very strong.

A reader on my Facebook page asked this question about the nature of treasures in Heaven: “What does that even mean to ‘store your treasures in heaven’? What treasures are we storing up?!”

Randy visited Tyndale House to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his book Heaven. While there, he was interviewed by his friend Carol Traver at a staff gathering. In this clip he answers a question about the responses to this book. 

Randy visited Tyndale House to celebrate the 20^th anniversary of his book Heaven. While there, he was interviewed by his friend Carol Traver at a staff gathering. They talk about his writing and the impact of the Heaven book, as well as some personal stories from Randy. It is a fun conversation with a lot of laughs.

In a video call, Jordan Raynor hosted a question and answer time with Randy about Heaven, the New Earth, and vocation, as well as several other topics.  

Singer and songwriter Dallas Holm recorded a podcast episode with his daughter on the subject of my book Heaven. He has an unusually acute understanding of the book—his comments about Christoplatonism display an awareness that is not common, but right on target.

When Heaven was released in 2004, people said, “How can this be true, since I’ve never heard it before?” I understood—I’d never been taught these ideas in Bible college, seminary, or church.

The best thing you can do is replace those lies with the truth, and let the truth be what you focus on. Randy has shared this quote attributed to Martin Luther: “You can’t keep the birds from flying over your head, but you can keep them from making a nest in your hair.”
