You might find Stephen J. Nichols' book "Heaven on Earth" to be along the same thinking. The following is written on a book web site; "This book focuses on key sermons by Jonathan Edwards, showing readers how his insights can be applied to the challenges of living the Christian life in the twenty-first century. Edwards reminds us of our duty to live on earth in light of heaven and to endeavor to bring the realities and the beauty of heaven to earth-even if only in miniature. This book is for all believers wondering how to live on earth with a view of heaven, and those familiar with Edwards’s works will have a special appreciation for this study."

If that all happened, and that's a big if, then all of that could likewise begin to happen out of the house.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
