Thereās a lot of misinformation out there about where we go when this version of life as we know it is "over."
ā Some people think Heaven is just one long church service
ā Others think weāll be disembodied spirits, moving around in a non-physical way, like a āgoodā version of ghosts
ā Many of us think are loved ones who died are already in the āpermanentā Heaven, waiting for us to arrive
ā Some of us might evenā letās be honestā think of Heaven as a boring, dull, monotonous place (and, truthfully, we donāt want go to hell, but we wonder if thereās a third option)
ā A lot of people even believe that thinking about Heaven is āno earthly good,ā and that we need to focus on life hereā even if that means living it to its fullest in a Godly (not unholy) way
But what if weāve missed something?Ā
In the same way knowing your earthly destinationā whether itās a new move, another vacation, or even the next season of lifeā informs your preparation for the experience, your perspective in the present, and your passion for whatās coming SO ALSO does knowing about Heaven empower us to live more fully alive NOW!
Heaven is the eternal home God has preparedā and is preparingā for us now.Ā
Itās our final relocation. Itās the ultimate destination.
But more than our final stopping point or āresting in peaceā place, Heaven is the launching pad for so much more.
Heaven Bound enhances this "journey of our lifetime."

Edwin was a pastor for 50+ years.
During his most recentĀ run on staff at a church he served as the Senior Adult Pastor to 700+. The group met weekly to walk through the Bible, making it super-practical to life now.
As a group of 65-and-ups it only made sense to study what the Scripture says about Heaven.
After all, this is not only a group that wants to go thereā but theyāre presumably next in line!
(Throughout the study, the group discovered that understanding more about Heaven is actually relevant to EVERY age group AND the truths we learn about Heaven are highly applicable to how we handle daily life.)
Though he āstepped backā from full time work as an employee, he remains active in his congregation, throughout the local association of churches in his hometown and on mission trips around the world.Ā
He loves teaching the practical truths of Scripture, making is easy to understand AND apply.Ā
Thatās why he wrote the book Heaven Boundā to share some of the lesson from the Bible that matter the most even though theyāre the least talked about.
Now, these insights are available for you.

š Why knowing the truth about Heaven actually makes a BIG difference here and now
Somebody once said that we can ābecome so Heavenly-minded that weāre no earthly good.āĀ
Turns out, the opposite is true.
Being Heavenly-minded is good for every area of life. Remembering our ultimate destination (as well as our most important citizenship) empowers us to think long-term, to endure difficult seasons, and to live for the things that matter most.
Heaven Bound equips you to become more "Heavenly-minded" through an intentional 4-part journey of understanding what Heaven actually is (part 1), three of the most important and relevant concepts related to Heaven (part 2), what our eternal home will be like when we arrive (part 3), and what we'll do fr the rest of eternity (part 4).
