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.
