All Things New: Heaven, Earth, and the Restoration of Everything You Love

by John Eldredge

Book Overview

New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge offers readers a breathtaking look into God's promise for a new heaven and a new earth.

All Things New is for readers who. . .

wonder if the difficult things they go through matter;feel anxious about the future and their loved ones' futures; fear their dreams won't come true; andwant to understand what God has planned for their life.

This revolutionary book about our future is based on the simple idea that, according to the Bible, heaven is not our eternal home--the New Earth is. As Jesus says in the gospel of Matthew, the next chapter of our story begins with "the renewal of all things," by which he means the earth we love in all its beauty, our own selves, and the things that make for a rich life: music, art, food, laughter, and all that we hold dear. Everything shall be renewed "when the world is made new."

More than anything else, how you envision your future shapes your current experience. If you knew that God was going to restore your life and everything you love any day; if you believed a great and glorious goodness was coming to you--not in a vague heaven but right here on this earth--you would have a hope to see you through anything, an anchor for your soul, "an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God" (Hebrews 6:19).

Most Christians (most people for that matter) fail to look forward to their future because their view of heaven is vague, religious, and frankly boring. Hope begins when we understand that for the believer nothing is lost. Heaven is not a life in the clouds; it is not endless harp-strumming or worship-singing. Rather, the life we long for, the paradise Adam and Eve knew, is precisely the life that is coming to us. And that life is coming soon.

Customer Reviews

A beautiful primer in what's to come

This book is a glorious walk through the work God is doing and will do. An encouragement to those who already know but even better for readers who haven't considered what Jesus meant when he said, "I am making all things new."

Loved it.

This book really spoke to me. It goes deep into what I've always believed yet never have heard anyobe talk about in a glimpse of GodsHeaven. I'm buying as many copies as I can and giving them away to folks who have questions and are genuinely curious about where we believers will spend eternity!!!

Beyond Excellent

This book has changed my outlook on all of what I ever thought was going to happen once we pass from this world into the next. If you want to experience true hope, joy and happiness about the road ahead ... get this book.

This book will touch your soul.

An amazing vision of what life can (and will) be, All Things New is a healthy dose of HOPE in a world that is starving for something good to hope for and to hold on to. I pray that John Eldredge has it figured out correctly, and I believe that he does. I can assure you I will read it again and again, and I have ordered extra copies to share with others. I wish everyone would read it. Thank you, Mr. Eldredge.

Highly Recommend this book!

We sure could use some hope. This is a wonderful book, so well written by John Eldridge. Would highly recommend it to everyone.
