Product Description
by Sarah Schaff (Author)
We need to have a child like wonder when we think about Heaven. Our thoughts should not hold too much weight or merit because its secrets will not be revealed to us this side of Heaven. But just like a child lying in the grass watching the cloud formations passing by, we should be free to wonder, imagine and dream. What kind of creatures will we encounter in Heaven? After all, there are some incredible beasts described in Daniel and Revelations. Will we be introduced to new colors our human mind cannot comprehend? Will the clouds taste like cotton candy? We are called to enter the Kingdom of God with 'faith like a child, ' so I spent a couple of months interviewing children and compiling their thoughts, and that resulted in this book. According to these children, Heaven will be epic and yet they have not even scratched the surface of what awaits them. Heaven will be a reality for those of us that have walked with Jesus through this life, so let's be excited because the 'best is yet to come.' God is the creator of creation. There is no limit to his creativity. We cannot out-imagine God, but while we wait here on this earth, why not dream big.
This book can also be used as a form of comfort to those walking through loss, especially to children. Loss can be hard to understand for a child, but this book offers hope and joy through Jesus. It can be used as tool to talk about a sibling who may have been lost due to a miscarriage, or the loss of a parent, grandparent, pet or even a child who may be facing sickness and the unimaginable possibility of going home to see Jesus sooner than later. The more we talk about Heaven the more real it becomes, so let's offer a hope that extends past our present reality and into an eternity of Joy. "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and my mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him." 1 Corinthians 2:9
