I'm def. into reading it. It's always awesome to hear what other Bible Studies are up too. I just joined a new Bible Study and we are reading about Prophecies. Something I know nothing about (like Heaven before I read Alcorn's book). It is really mind blowing stuff.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12401992255443495310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34741407.post-8613055246104827912008-09-15T20:05:00.000-07:002008-09-15T20:05:00.000-07:00Alcorn's "50 Days of Heaven" looks like a great bo...Alcorn's "50 Days of Heaven" looks like a great book. My men's group just started reading the more detailed, previously published "Heaven". We are planning to take our time reading, with our Bibles alongside.<BR/><BR/>Who does know what heaven will be like? Scripture says God provided detailed glimpses of heaven to some, including Isaiah, Ezekiel, Paul and John.<BR/><BR/>Alcorn is considered to be a foremost authority on the subject. He says his entire foundation for his work is based on scripture. I like that he encourages readers to let him know if they find <B><I>ANY</I></B> discrepancies between what he writes and what the Bible says.<BR/><BR/>My perceptions on heaven (and those of most people in the world) have been greatly influenced by secular conventions (cartoons, TV, Movies, stories about post-death experiences before resuscitation, etc.) that are <B><I>pure fiction</I></B>. <BR/><BR/>I am excited to study Alcorn's work because I think God wants us to know what's ahead. I think that was what gave Paul the drive and stamina for his unrelentless run for the prize!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34741407.post-71084686596637319082008-09-14T22:03:00.000-07:002008-09-14T22:03:00.000-07:00Good question.

Since Heaven will be so unbelievably mind blowing cool that we aren't able to even begin to fathom it. However, I do know he has spend way more time studying Heaven, Randy attended Multnomah Bible College, where he earned his BA in Theology (Bachelor of Theology) and Western Seminary, where he earned his MA in Biblical Studies, than I ever have.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12401992255443495310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34741407.post-35774925627838624762008-09-14T20:35:00.000-07:002008-09-14T20:35:00.000-07:00Randy Alcorn knows what heaven is like?
