Think about heaven much?

'Set your minds on things that are above.'  So urged the Apostle Paul.  Christians ought to think about heaven as those who long for it and who are destined for it.

So why don't we? 

Why do we struggle to set our sights on the world to come?
Could it be...we doubt we'll get there?
Coudl it be...we suspect that heaven will be dull?
Could it be...we're obsessed with the past, and can't face the future?
Coudl it be...we haven't come to grips with the shortness of earthly life?

In Setting Our Sights on Heaven, Paul Wolfe brings out the Bible's teaching about heaven, addressing the various factors that tend to push heaven out of our minds and the gospel remedies that help us push it back to where it belongs.

Endorsement

"Wolfe is two for two. He is not a one-book wonder. He tackles the question of heaven in a down-to-earth fashion that steers clear of the sentimentalism and vague theology so often associated with the subject. This book helps me not only to fulfil my pastoral duty in preparing my people for death but, more importantly, to prepare myself. I am more interested in going to heaven now having read this book!" — ALISTAIR BEGG
