The Glory Now Revealed, What We’ll Discover about God in Heaven
What actually happens in heaven? Believers know that when we die, we enter heaven and will spend eternity there with God and the saints who have gone before us. But then what? What are we going to do there? Won't it get boring at some point? According to Scripture, a large part of our experience of heaven will be a continual revealing of God's glory. Not just his glory in the moment but during all of time. The mysteries of providence, the hidden movements of God throughout history, and the forgotten and unnoted works of even the most obscure of God's people will be unveiled so we can see how wise, loving, gracious, and powerful our God is. And though we will experience perfection in heaven, we will never be omniscient, which means we will always be learning more about God's glory, inspiring us to return joyful praise and thanksgiving. If your view of heaven has been limited to clouds and angels, get ready for your vision to be expanded through this illuminating biblical exploration of the afterlife.

"As with any good book on the subject, this one will make you homesick for heaven. But beyond that, it will increase your resolve to pursue and enjoy God and the things of God even more fervently now. I was astonished at the number of fresh insights Andy Davis provides in this Scripture-saturated book. The pages are packed with stories--both well-known and little-known--from Christian history that deeply affected me. The message of this book is illustrated in such fresh ways, especially by some of the author's personal experiences. Doctrine and practice are masterfully woven together from beginning to end. I've never been so encouraged, convicted, enlightened, made hopeful, and delightfully surprised by a book on heaven like this one."
