Heaven is often construed as an extraordinary place, like something out of a science fiction movie. But Christians believe that we are, in a sense, aliens in this world, and in heaven, we will be, for the first time, truly and completely at home.

The Bible gives us glimpses of eternity in word pictures. It describes things we already know and love, like rivers, broad vistas, and trees, whetting our appetite for what's ahead.

In A Glimpse of Eternity, photographs from this world accompany Scriptural glimpses of the next one. May they bring encouragement and comfort.
