Описание книги

Is heaven a place, somewhere we go? Is it a future goal, attainable only after this life ends? Pastor and educator Dr. Terrell Carter looks at this issue with a pastor’s heart and a scholars precision, looking at what the Bible teaches us and how this might relate to how we live, act, and worship today. In the process, he introduces readers to such theological terms as Kingdom of Heaven and Kingdom of God. Why a kingdom? Read this book to find out. In each chapter of this book you’ll learn something new about how the Bible speaks about heaven and the afterlife. You’ll read the parables of Jesus on this topic with a new vision. You’ll find things in the book of Revelation that you might have been missing. And you’ll find all this in an easy to read style. This book is a good, quick read for those who are in hurry for an introduction, and it provides a sound basis for a short study on heaven, the afterlife, and life on earth in the meantime for a small study group.

And its’ coming would require that the church at Corinth have a new mindset. All that life offered was a blessing from God, but God’s blessings were to take a back seat to God’s overall plan. God’s plans were not to be eclipsed by God’s gifts to humankind.

The story of Jonah is probably familiar to most of us. God gave Jonah the command to preach repentance to a group of people. Jonah refused and instead went in the opposite direction of where God wanted him to go. After an ill-fated boat ride and a big fish swallowing and spitting him out, he ran in the direction God sent him. In the big picture, I understand the book of Jonah to be less about a big fish and more about how Jonah responded to the idea that God’s Kingdom may include people that he did not necessarily like.
