We're all going to die. Yet in our medically advanced, technological age, many of us see death as a distant reality - something that happens only at the end of a long life or to other people. In The End of the Christian Life, J. Todd Billings urges Christians to resist that view. Instead, he calls us to embrace our mortality in our daily life and faith. This is the journey of genuine discipleship, Billings says, following the crucified and resurrected Lord in a world of distraction and false hopes.

Most people have a skewed vision of what Heaven is. They tend to picture angels floating around, some having harps and some having bows and arrows, but none of them actually having a life. To many people, Heaven sounds like a boring place. Earth seems to be exciting with new discoveries and adventures every day. However, the kingdom of God is much more exciting and glorious than anything the Earth could ever produce. The colors there are beyond the natural spectrum and there are inexpressible sounds.

Lament is how we bring our sorrow to God - but it is a neglected dimension of the Christian life for many Christians today. We need to recover the practice of honest spiritual struggle that gives us permission to vocalize our pain and wrestle with our sorrow. Lament avoids trite answers and quick solutions, progressively moving us toward deeper worship and trust.

Tender, heartbreaking, and eye-opening, the true stories in Glimpses of Heaven offer a window into the world beyond and life after death.
