My First 10,000 Years in Heaven is an astonishing tale of one man’s first years in Heaven, exploring the wonders our eternal home might hold.What will he feel when he encounters our holy God and Jesus? How will his mistreatment of his family on Earth affect his life in Heaven? What will he find as he explores God's vast new creation? How will he interact with the members of his enormous, diverse, new family? What capabilities of his resurrected body will he discover? Which animal friends will he make? What you won't see him doing is sitting on clouds or strumming on harps.

My First 10,000 Years in Heaven is a Biblically-based tale that will increase your desire for what God is preparing for our eternal home.

Review from Reader's Favorite - 5/5 Stars

My First 10,000 Years in Heaven by Vance C. Kessler is an exceptional example of Christian speculative fiction. The premise is interesting and thought-provoking. Kessler attempts to build a picture of what heaven might be like and satisfies the reader’s curiosity. I particularly enjoyed the way he linked Thomas’s experiences in heaven to the flashbacks of his life on Earth. Kessler touches on a very pertinent concern for modern Christians when he explores the parent’s grief that his children had not chosen a life path leading toward heaven. The resolution Kessler creates is comforting and hope-inspiring. I recommend My First 10,000 Years in Heaven for individual inspirational reading and small group discussion.

Review from The Write Stuff Podcast

"This book is phenomenal. It is going to just take you to so many places. It's going to have you digging deep into scripture. It's going to have you really thinking about heaven."
"There aren’t a lot of books out there about Heaven. I don’t think we talk about Heaven as much as we should."

Comments from Advanced Copy Readers:

"I loved this book! It is filled with hope and beauty. The author has made his characters and creations of New Earth so descriptive that I could see them clearly and feel the emotions throughout the book. I felt as though I was there, and can't wait until the day comes to actually experience this New Earth!""Mr. Kessler encourages his readers to ponder what life in heaven might be like. This isn't a fanciful story of just singing and peaceful existence. Rather it is a thoughtful exploration of how a family entangled in the troubles of this world comes to see their old lives with a heavenly perspective. The depth of God's grace and a vision of what His people have in store for them is revealed in this wonderful story.""Kessler's keen observation about what the Holy Scripture teaches about Heaven is absolutely stunning. The vivid view Kessler gives on The New Heaven and The New Earth is just so captivating. The writer's view of what the scriptures teach on the new Heavenly body we will all have and all the implications of the other promises we have been given is just a great climax to the highly expected transformation we all are looking forward to.The Holy Scriptures give us a glimpse of what is to come but this book obviously gives some greatimaginative and startling visuals of the eternal greatness that is to be revealed. During the great trialsand tribulations we are living in, it is so refreshing to be reminded about eternity.To the very end, this book has made me look at scriptures I have read over and over with a joy,imagination and perspective I had not done before. It is my humble discernment that Vance Kessler'sbook is comparable with the writings of C. S. Lewis. I can eagerly wait with peace and joy and not withfear! This book is well done!"

A longing for Home

I enjoyed listening to this story as I drove as it invited me to imagine heaven in ways we rarely think about — full of relationships, purposeful activity, and joy beyond our earthly experience. It gave me comfort and hope, especially reflecting on loved ones who have passed, and made death feel less frightening and more like a birth into fuller life. While I don’t agree with every detail, mostly as it relates to our embodiment as males and females, it stretches the imagination in a way that strengthens faith, hope, and love here and now.
