In the midst of life’s stressors, such as worldly violence, corruption, and calamity, have you remained in peace? I’m hopeful that your answer is yes, but if we’re being honest here, for many of us, the answer would be no. We’re in a time where people feel lost and are desperately searching for hope in the mess that we find our world in today. Many people, even brothers and sisters in Christ, are stricken with anxiety, panic, and depression. If you can resonate, I have something very special to share with you — ‘The Promise of Heaven’ book review!

Recently, I started reading Dr. David Jeremiah’s newest release, ‘The Promise of Heaven.’ ‘The Promise of Heaven’ is a book for our current times. If you can’t find a space of peace, Heaven, where every believer will spend eternity with God, is the perfect place to fix your gaze. In no way can we control the steady decline of our world. Indeed, our best practice is to resist worry and to place our faith and complete trust in Christ. Christ, who promised in John 14:3,

“that if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” (NIV).

Thankfully, the place being prepared is our Heavenly Home, our Forever Home for those who believe. And in Dr. Jeremiah’s newest release, he has compiled 31 reasons to get excited about our eternal home.

If you’re like me, you’ve always wanted to know more about Heaven. What can believers truly look forward to in this place, and what will it be like there? How will we truly be fulfilled? These are all everyday curiosities, and Scripture holds the key. Dr. Jeremiah draws on his decades of faithful ministry to answer questions that are both personal and rarely discussed.

Some common questions answered in ‘The Promise of Heaven’ :

• Will we remember our lives or each other?
• What happens to children who die?
• Will there be marriage in heaven?
• What if someone was cremated?
• Is there hope for those who died by suicide?

Now, I’d love to give you my personal thoughts on this gem of a book since I started it! I greatly appreciate Dr. Jeremiah’s commitment to upholding the context of Scripture throughout the book. He utilizes Scripture to answer specific questions about heaven directly and to inform educated guesses for other questions.

For example, I found great comfort in how he answered the question of whether animals or our pets will be in heaven. The Bible does not directly address this question, but the scriptures can lead us to an educated guess. And ultimately, we will see when we get there. Whatever the outcome of this question, I love how Dr. Jeremiah encourages that,

“There will be a higher, holier, and happier order to the way life happens…God has some wonderful surprises for us in heaven” (Jeremiah, 233).

Next, I plan to explore other notable areas of ‘The Promise of Heaven,’ including the subject matter of being heavenly-minded and motivated by heaven. I was also delighted to see the Index, which allowed me to quickly look up topics in the book, as well as the handy scripture index. Additionally, a comprehensive Notes section details the sources Dr. Jeremiah used in the book.

Overall, ’The Promise of Heaven’ is a smooth and enjoyable read, filled with wisdom and reasons to stay excited about heaven and be intentional about finding peace with our future as believers.

And as a bonus, if you need a word that’s packed with encouragement during this season of tough times, here are 10 reasons ‘The Promise of Heaven’ is a must-read:
