Be Transformed by a Glimpse of Paradise
· What will heaven be like? What will we do? Who will we see?
· How can I become more excited about heaven as my true home?
· Is it possible that knowing more about heaven will result in
greater joy and purpose in my daily life?
It's not easy separating fact from fiction when it comes to heaven,
nor is it always easy to see how the afterlife can affect our lives
today. After a car accident caused his nineteen-year-old son to
unexpectedly enter heaven, Pastor Steve Berger chose to reject
despair and commit himself to carefully studying his son's new,
eternal home. He had no idea how much there was to learn, and his
life hasn't been the same since. This biblical and deeply personal
study of heaven will give you hope for the future.
But more than that, it will show you what it means to live
today in light of the reality of heaven. If your view of
heaven isn't life-changing, it needs to be adjusted. Let Pastor
Berger's exploration of eternity fill you with overflowing hope,
courage, and purpose.
"Sometimes we feel stuck--stuck between the hope of heaven and the
pain of this world. In Between Heaven and Earth, my friend
Steve Berger shows us how to not only live in that tension, but
how--and why--we should embrace it."--Dave Ramsey, New York
Times bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio show
host
"I grew up hearing people say, 'Some Christians are so heavenly
minded they are of no earthly good.' Nowadays it seems like the
church has become so earthly minded we're of no heavenly good. In
Between Heaven and Earth, my friend Pastor Steve Berger
shows us the absolute necessity of having a heavenly mind-set
(Colossians 3:1-2) in order to make a real difference in people's
lives while we remain on earth. Embrace the truths of this
book--learn how to have your heart in heaven and your hand in the
harvest. It's one decision you'll never regret!"--Jeremy Camp
"When my friend Steve Berger talks about heaven, I sit up and
listen. I've walked with Steve as he's faced the trials of this
life, and I've observed how he has emerged with a deeper faith and
love for the Father and the people around him. What he has taught
me makes me long for heaven. It also makes me want to spend my time
on earth making a difference . . . and finishing well."--Michael W.
Smith
"A beloved pastor and teacher, Steve Berger taught for years on the
reality of heaven even as we serve Christ on earth, never knowing
that one tragic event would bring both realities irrevocably into
sharp focus in a moment. . . . Some of God's greatest mysteries are
wrapped up in tragedy, but the tear-stained wisdom mined in that
darkness is a gift to us all. In this marvelous book, heaven will
become a greater reality even as we are invited to live our lives
on earth with greater passion."--Sheila Walsh, author of The
Storm Inside
"Steve has a rich, compelling perspective on Glory
that will give you fresh grace to lean into the perfect love of
Jesus today. Therefore, I encourage readers not to stop at
just one--instead buy a whole case of these puppies and pass them
out to all your friends and family!"--Lisa Harper, author, Bible
teacher and Women of Faith speaker
"In stark contrast to the Bible--and the whole of
Christian history--today's believers think little about heaven and
much about the comforts, challenges, and distractions of this life.
In this much-needed corrective, Pastor Steve Berger challenges and
equips us to be more heavenly minded, so we can, in fact, be more
earthly good."--Michael Hyatt, New York Times bestselling
author
