Heaven, Earth, and the Restoration of Everything You Love

By: John Eldredge

Narrated by: John Eldredge

Discover hope for your life today as you explore God’s plans for the future.

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

All Things New is for you if you’ve ever…

• Wonder if the difficult things you go through matter
• Feel anxious about the future and your loved ones' futures
• Fear that your dreams won’t come true
• Want to understand what God has planned for your life

All Things New helps you understand the simple but revolutionary 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 future 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.

Chapter 2 and 10 are worth the whole read.

Years of seeing these scriptures and not knowing what to fully do with them, this author unabashfully addresses the things that Jesus, Peter and Paul seem to always come back to; the deep invocations, we don't seem to fully connect with as they do. As if our imagination a different end to the story that God promised since the very beginning

Added to my Hope of Heaven

I had a vision in my mind of "Eternal Worship" in heaven. This book expanded my expectations well beyond that. I anticipate a mind blowing, exciting and wonderful eternity with people I love and my Savior, Jesus Christ.
