Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author John Eldredge offers listeners a breathtaking look into God's promise for a new heaven and a new Earth.

This revolutionary book about our future is based on the simple idea that, according to 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 all things", by which he means the Earth we love in all its beauty, our own selves, and the things that make for a rich life: music, art, food, laughter, and all that we hold dear. Everything shall be renewed "when the world is made new".

More than anything else, how you envision your future shapes your current experience. If you knew that God was going to restore your life and everything you love any day, if you believed a great and glorious goodness was coming to you - not in a vague heaven but right here on this Earth - you would have a hope to see you through anything, an anchor for your soul, "an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God" (Hebrews 6:19).

Most Christians (most people, for that matter) fail to look forward to their futures because their view of heaven is vague, religious, and frankly boring. Hope begins when we understand that for the believer nothing is lost. Heaven is not a life in the clouds; it is not endless harp strumming or worship singing. Rather, the life we long for, the paradise Adam and Eve knew, is precisely the life that is coming to us. And that life is coming soon.

Just what I needed

Really enjoyed this book. My wife and I just had a baby and this helps remind me self-sacrifice is worth it. The small decisions have a lasting impact not just in the moment. The author is great for this subject.

Life changing!

Such an important concept to grasp. It will fill your heart and mind with life.

Mind blowing!

I loved this book!! Live with a kingdom purpose!!! I've loved all of John's books!

He's Got His Oil!

Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks, and John's heart is in a great place, namely the kingdom of heaven. His treasure is there, and he can help you get yours there as well. Listen to John as he throws Jesus's parables alongside his own life experience. To those who have ears, let them hear.

You're in for a real treat. May God Himself bless you, richly and always.

This book Helped me walk through the unthinkable loss of my precious daughter BERKLEE at age 14 when our house exploded

John has been a sage and a spiritual Father figure to me for the last 28 years. This book came at a time when I desperately needed perspective beyond this life to be the focus. Thank you John for being faithful!

need to read for loss

very hope filled and practical. soothing for a troubled soul loaded with scripture. thx John.

If you are a Narnian at heart, you must read this!

Restoration, hope, a return to The Eden Glory awaits..and a wonderful validation to those of us who love " Jack" and refuse to give up on getting to Narnia, someday, somehow...

Destiny Beyond Belief

Many times I have heard Christians, even those who are considered disciples, elders, deacons, talk about Heaven, up in the air with God, floating around, never comprehending what was said about the New Heaven, new earth and The new Jerusalem coming out of heaven down to earth and where heaven truly will be for us. The beauty, wonder, excitement that awaits with a new glorified body.

If you dare to dream, this book is for you! I caught myself laughing, crying and dreaming like a child and I trust, you will too!

love the hope this book offers

This is a beautiful book on the restoration of all things. It's a wonderful reminder to fix our eyes on Christ and the victory He has already achieved on our behalf.

A Beautiful Refuge for the Earthly Human Soul

What a beautiful, life-giving, refreshing perspective on the biblical story of the "end times", here understood as the constantly present and eventual renewal and deep, shining rebirth of this beautiful earth: the union of heaven and earth. Eldredge makes a strong case for this understand through the accepted Christian scriptures as they already are, with Jesus as the beloved King at the center of it all. If you're longing for an earth-loving, creation-affirming Christian theology that sees this world as fundamentally sacred and a beloved by God despite its suffering and sorrows, this book is for you. Give this book to young people like myself who often feel that Christianity is too hateful toward the Earth and the Body, and therefore are driven to paganism or atheism. Eldredge intervenes in this crisis of our longing for earthly renewal with love, tenderness, humility, humor, and joyful truth.
