An unusually good – and helpful – book about heaven that deserves far more attention than it has received. No speculation. Just an unfolding of the biblical outlook to our final salvation in the new heavens and new earth.

Stephen Wellum says of this book:

What a delight to read Dan Barber and Robert Peterson’s wonderful book, Life Everlasting! In a day and age when discussion of heaven is either purely speculative or mere sentimentality, this book carefully unfolds the biblical teaching on heaven in all of its depth, breadth, and wonder. Following the Bible’s own storyline, and unfolding the story of heaven across the canon of Scripture, Barber and Peterson develop five beautiful pictures of our final state and what believers may look forward to in regard to life everlasting. Unpacking the Bible’s own teaching on what heaven is, namely the Christian dwelling in the glorious presence of our Triune God in a new creation, enjoying our eternal Sabbath rest, ruling and reigning with Christ as subjects of God’s kingdom, and enjoying the incredible presence of our holy, covenant God, this book leaves the reader with a breathtaking vision of our consummated state. Biblically faithful, theologically rich, and practically written for the church this book is must reading if you want to think correctly about heaven. In addition, it will not only encourage you to greater love and adoration of our great Creator and Redeemer God, it will also stir you anew to cry with the church in all ages, “So come Lord Jesus.”
