One of my favorite things to do is to ask people if they plan on going to heaven when they die. Without exception, people are looking forward to some form of better eternity than the life we live here. While we know that God has clearly spelled out His requirements, I assume for the sake of my first question that they have complied and are actually going to an eternity with Him.

After they have said yes, I ask them what they will be doing once they get there. That is when they give me that confused, empty look. Most people want to go but are completely clueless about what eternity looks like and how that future society will function.

Over the past forty years I have been privileged to take many people on a journey of discovery about their forever life with the Creator of the universe. In this book about a young man named Mada, who lives on earth four hundred years after the New Jerusalem comes down. My goal is for the reader to discover and embrace the reality that already exists in the presence of God. I have been blessed to visit heaven twice, and believe me when I tell you that it is going to be anything but boring. My friends whom I have shared this with tell me that something in them changes in a very wonderful way.

My belief and experience is this: that once you see what the coming reward is, you will be motivated to live a different, more kingdom-oriented life while you are here. In any case, I believe that Mada will open your eyes to an exciting and wonderful future that awaits all who believe.
