New York Situations bestselling author John Eldredge offers readers a breathtaking look into God’s promise for a new heaven and a new earth.

This revolutionary book about our future is dependant on the simple idea that, based on the Bible, heaven is not our eternal home–the New Earth is. As Jesus says in the gospel of Matthew, the next chapter of our story begins with ‘the renewal of most things,’ by which he means the earth we love in every its beauty, our own selves, and the things that make about All Things New: Heaven, Globe, as well as the Repair of Everything You Love for the rich life: music, artwork, food, laughter and all that we keep dear. Everything will be restored ‘when the globe is made new.’

More than anything else, how you envision your own future shapes your present experience. If you understood that God was going to restore your daily life and everything you like any day; in the event that you believed an excellent and glorious goodness was coming to you–not in a hazy heaven but the following upon this earth–you could have a desire to observe you through anything, an anchor for your spirit, ‘an unbreakable religious lifeline, reaching past all performances right to the presence of God’ (Hebrews 6:19).

Most Christians (most people for that matter) fail to look forward to their future because their view of heaven is vague, spiritual, and frankly boring. Hope begins whenever we recognize that for the believer there is nothing lost. Heaven isn’t a lifestyle in the clouds; it is not limitless harp-strumming or worship-singing. Rather, the life span we long for, the heaven Adam and Eve knew, is precisely the life that is arriving at us. And that life is coming soon.
