Heaven

We hear about heaven and the supernatural far more often on late-night TV than in church; indeed, many Christians never hear eternity mentioned seriously from the pulpit. This book of short personal essays gathers the hopes, fears, and reflections on the afterlife of notable writers of theology, fiction, and poetry. Authors include Rick Moody, Nora Gallagher, Robert Orsi, Barbara Crafton, Barbara Brown Taylor, Phyllis Tickle, Cynthia Bourgeault, Alan Jones, Maggie Robbins, and Susan Wheeler. These writings, which mix autobiography, story-telling, and theological reflection, are so poignant and wide-ranging, we can all find ourselves in them - and start telling our own stories about heaven.Ferlo, Roger is the author of 'Heaven ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781596270442 and ISBN 1596270446.
