Biblical meditation doesn’t mean taking a few words taken out of context that we feel free to apply to our own lives in whatever random ways come to mind. We need to view the Bible as God coherently speaking to us in trains of thought. He is a master communicator, so He chose the words carefully.

These outlines, by Joseph McRae Mellichamp, of Randy Alcorn’s book Heaven are a helpful tool when reading, teaching, or studying Heaven. 

The new Happiness: God’s Invitation to Delight, Celebration, and Joy study deals with an issue that’s important for us as followers of Jesus and critical to our mission of sharing Him with our world.

There was once a time in the early years of our faith when we couldn’t get enough. We had a voracious hunger for truth. We lived with the humbling realization that there was so much we didn’t know. We loved to study the Word of God. We loved listening to peers and mentors who were further along. We were students.

Yes! We have heard from several youth pastors who have created ways to use this book with their students. One wrote to us with this account:

Randy Alcorn talks about Revelation 21:4 and the Present Heaven as compared to the New Earth. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.

Randy Alcorn talks about things to look for in a good Study Bible, focusing on the ESV study Bible which he personally uses and recommends.

It’s likely that books will have a greater role in our lives in Heaven than they do now. The libraries of the New Earth, I imagine, will be fantastic.
