"In this winsome, clear, and compassionate book, Pastor Mallard offers a beautiful and thorough exposition of the Bible's insights on heaven. Whether you're shepherding a loved one through the end of life, facing the shadowy valley yourself, or seeking to transform your outlook with the truths of Scripture, Heaven offers theological riches that will comfort you, instill you with hope, and point you to the One who is making all things new."

- Kathryn Butler, MD, author of Between Life and Death and Glimmers of Grace

"Paul Mallard’s contention in this book is that the church is too focused on the present because we do not think sufficiently about heaven. With characteristic pastoral warmth he explains clearly, faithfully and straightforwardly what the Bible teaches about heaven and the new creation, answering the many questions we naturally have about our life after death. He clears away common misunderstandings and gives the reader a compelling and attractive vision of life with Christ and his people. Those who read this book will be stirred to a more confident hope, deeper longing to be with Christ, and comforted to face the struggles of living in this present age."

- John Stevens, National Director, FIEC

"Soaked in Scripture and laced with a blend of glorious theology and the practical wisdom and winsomeness that accompanies everything Paul writes and teaches, Heaven is a book that answers many of our questions and inspires our souls with a Christ intoxicated longing. I thoroughly recommend it."

- Jeremy McQuoid, Teaching Pastor at Deeside Christian Fellowship

Heavenly Minded

Paul Mallard is a master of illustration as he expresses the mysteries of heaven with really concrete and clear examples from our lives on earth. Speaking from a wealth of pastoral and personal experience with grief and suffering, Paul offers a clear and biblically grounded glimpse at the glories that await us. This book would be a great gift for those who are grieving or wondering what comes next. *I work for 10ofthose, but was not required to give a positive review.
