Your Greatest Adventure is Just Around the Corner
In bestseller after bestseller, author Randy Alcorn has held
readers spellbound with fast-paced, gripping fiction infused
with eternal themes. Now, he responds to the widespread hunger
for more insight on this subject with a straightforward,
real-life look at what it means for believers to both think
and live in light of eternity.
Those captivated by Edge of Eternity, Deadline,
and Dominion can now explore more deeply the truths
about heaven and eternity that were woven into each of these
novels. With clear biblical teaching and illustrative stories
and reflections, Alcorn shows how your life today will impact
the eternal reality that awaits you.
What's this book about? Here's a summary of the central idea:
The deepest longing of your heart is for one person and one
place. Jesus is that person. Heaven is that place. The
Carpenter from Nazareth promised he would go ahead to prepare
a place for you. What your heart most deeply desires awaits
you in the home custom-built by your Bridegroom. Meanwhile, a
thousand counterfeits vie for your attention, trying to
convince you that they are what you're longing for. But you'll
never be satisfied with anything in the Shadowlands. It's the
land of substance you really crave.
Heaven is that land! Have you bought the lie that heaven will
be boring? No way! Heaven will be an exhilarating adventure in
which every chapter is better than the one before. In Light
of Eternity will grip your soul and open your eyes to
heaven. Dive in and see how you can live now in light of your
forever home. See how the choices you make in the 'short
today' will have a lasting impact on the 'long tomorrow'.
One moment after you die you'll know how you should have
lived. And you'll know what's on the other side. Don't wait
until then to find out. Let this book guide you into
discovering how wonderful your eternal future will be, and
what you can do now to prepare for it. Because the real
adventure awaits you on the other side, with the person you
were made for...and the place He's made for you. |

I am chaplain for three aging facilities in Texas. I spend a lot of time with families of residents that are dying and I have been giving the book In Light of Eternity away for several years now. I wanted to share a note I received from one of my families:
I saved this last thank you note for you, until I finished the book that you gave us. When my mom pasted away we knew that she went to Heaven but the book made Heaven seem so much more real and helped us to know what she is experiencing! We plan to give our book to someone else that might need it. Thank you.
Another one of our residents passed away last night and I had given her daughter In Light of Eternity the day before. When I came up to be with the family there was the daughter setting by the side of her mom with the book. Tears were in her eyes as she told me what a difference that had made for her as she watched her mom pass. - J. M.

Note from the Author |
I really enjoyed writing In Light of
Eternity. It's a short book, concise, citing many passages
of Scripture that give us a cumulatively substantial picture
of heaven. I wrote it largely in response to the thousands of
letters and questions from readers of my novels Deadline,
Dominion and Edge of Eternity. They've asked why
I portray heaven (and hell) as I do in these books. (In ILOE I
cite brief passages from all three of those novels.) In
Light of Eternity is full of answers to those reader
questions--including what will we do in heaven, will we
remember family and friends and events on earth, can those in
heaven see what's happening on earth, will there be animals,
what's the nature of rewards, etc.
The Bible tells us much more about heaven than is often
assumed. In a day when speculation and subjectivism about
heaven runs rampant, I found it refreshing to carefully
examine what Scripture says. Readers tell me they've given it
to those who've lost loved ones and those facing death
themselves. I'm getting lots of encouraging responses from it,
and I'm always interested in reader feedback. If you read ILOE,
please email me at
info@epm.org and tell me what
you think. Thanks!
