WE LIVE IN A WORLD NO LONGER UNDER HEAVEN At least in many people's minds and imaginations that vision of reality has be come little more than a caricature, conjuring up quaint saints and cherubic angels. And in the church only a hint remains of the power heaven once exercised in the hearts of believers. What we have lost is a sense of transcendent reality-of a God and a world that stand in contrast and judgment over the few-score years of our earthly lives. In this provocative book, A. J. Conyers suggests the eclipse of heaven has resulted in a shallower view of life and death, in a loss of cultural and individual purpose, and in moral disarray. Drawing from Scripture and the early church, Conyers calls Christians to be in the vanguard of a desperately needed cultural recovery of the world beyond. This is a powerful, persuasive plea to stop blocking heaven from our sight, and so to regain hope, meaning and richer lives in this world and the one to come. 236.240830813896 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 236.24 Con e E09002947 Non Fiction 236.24 Con e-2 E99030117 Non Fiction 236.24 Con e 41SwQIH0ILL.jpg 33370 2014-11-27 11:54:25 2024-11-04 11:08:02 machine generated
