Have we forgotten heaven?

For too long, the conversation about heaven has been caught between two extremes. On one hand, there is the shallow "escapist" theology that reduces salvation to a reservation for the afterlife, unconcerned with God's good earth or issues of justice in the world.

On the other hand, many of us have overcorrected, hyperfocusing on the here and now and losing sight of the spiritual reality beyond―a fatal mistake if our Christianity is to have a compelling message in the twenty-first century. Our faith must once again speak confidently and humbly about the reality of the spiritual world―the reality of unseen existences. In Unseen Existences, you'll find

• a fresh way of looking at heaven that pushes back against extremes,
• a vision for life as a pilgrimage to our true home in heaven and union with God, and
• encouragement to persevere through the injustices of this world with hope.

Unseen Existences will help you renew your faith, expand your perspective, and re-embrace the divine mystery of heaven. Though life can be uncertain and unjust, our pilgrimage is preparing us for the world to come, where we will see Christ face-to-face.
