Home: How Heaven & the New Earth Satisfy Our Deepest Longings
Ebook
Heaven Is the Home You've Been Waiting For
In this world of fear, trials, and loneliness we often feel
adrift--like we're still searching for a place where we can truly
make ourselves at home. There's a longing for something more,
something that makes us feel like we belong, something that
resonates perfectly with who we were made to be. This longing is no
small thing to be brushed off and forgotten--it's a guidepost
letting us know we were made for another world. Earth is not our
home. But it's close.
What we long for is the new earth, the place God has been preparing
for our eternity with him. In Home, Elyse Fitzpatrick
explores heaven and the afterlife, demonstrating that our final
destination is not some dull, featureless space in the clouds, but
rather a perfected earth. It's a real, physical place that we'll
explore with real bodies. A place of beauty and wonder and free of
all death and decay.
No need to chase a bucket list. On the new earth there will be no
end of glorious sites and amazing activities, and we'll never run
out of time to do them all. Includes questions for group
discussion.

You Were Made for Another World
In this world of fear, trials, and loneliness it's easy
to feel adrift, like you're homesick for somewhere you've never
been. This longing is no small thing to be brushed off and
forgotten--it's a guidepost letting you know that you were made for
a different place. This earth, as we know it, is not your home. But
it's close. In fact, at times you can almost see your home from
here.
What you long for is the New Earth--the place God has been
preparing for your eternity with him. With heartfelt stories,
personal reflection, and deep scriptural insight, Elyse Fitzpatrick
explores heaven and the New Earth--showing that our assumptions
about heaven and the realities of the New Earth are not one and the
same. Your final destination is not a dull, featureless room in the
clouds, but rather a perfected earth. It's an actual place full of
beauty and wonder that we'll explore with real, perfect bodies.
There's no need to chase a bucket list--on the New Earth there will
be no end of glorious sites and amazing activities, and we'll never
run out of time.
Includes questions for group discussion.
"As someone who grew up in the church and studying the Bible, yet
without a full understanding of our eternal home--the New Heaven
and the New Earth--this book not only expanded my understanding, it
fed my longing. This is a book I will recommend again and again to
those who long to understand what awaits believers beyond this
life."--Nancy Guthrie, author of Hearing Jesus Speak
