Exploring the Hope of Our Eternal Future with Christ

If we are not in Christ, this life is the best we will ever experience. If we are in Christ, this life is the worst we will ever experience. But amid the hurry and distractions of this life, we’re only dimly aware of the celestial bliss just around the next bend in the road.

In Finally Home, Dane Ortlund plunges into the word of God and the wisdom of the saints to help us rightly think about heaven, and to draw strength from our coming future more deeply than we ever have before. Writing with the same pastoral warmth and enchanting prose that mark his well-loved books Gentle and Lowly and Deeper, Ortlund speaks directly to the heart, providing insights into what our eternity with Jesus will be like. Finally Home is a timely invitation to lift our focus from the turmoil of our broken world to the wondrous surprises of our eternal home, where the Lord Jesus Christ himself will wipe away every tear from our eyes (Rev. 21:1–5).

“The careful, thoughtful, and faithful life of the individual who has rooted his or her identity in Christ can be difficult. We live in the world but are not of it, and yet this world matters. Dane Ortlund carefully navigates the beauty of a life that desires eternity in the next while living a worthwhile life in the here and now. C. S. Lewis once wrote that if we find in ourselves a desire that no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world. Ortlund seems to have taken that sentiment and drawn a roadmap for valuing the world we find ourselves in while properly calibrating for the world to come.”
