Who goes there--and why? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe world is full of speculation about what happens after we die, but not all answers offer true comfort or theological depth. In \u003ci\u003eHeaven and the Things Above\u003c\/i\u003e, biblical scholar and pastor Mitchell L. Chase explores what the biblical authors and church history actually teach about heaven. With pastoral warmth and theological clarity, he explores the idea of afterlife hope in both the Old and the New Testaments, examines the intermediate state--where believers dwell between death and the return of Christ--and shows how the victory and vindication of Christ transformed what we know and our hope about what comes next. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing from rich truths in Scripture and the wisdom of the past, Chase answers common questions:  \u003cbr\u003e· Will we know each other in heaven?  \u003cbr\u003e· What happens to babies who die?  \u003cbr\u003e· What about the new creation? \u003cbr\u003e· What is Sheol, and did Christ descend there? \u003cbr\u003e· Is being heavenly minded a good thing? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlong the way, readers will find that thinking about heaven isn't escapism; it's discipleship. Seeking the things above transforms how we live here and now.","brand":"Mitchell L.
