Heaven for Kids
Description
Heaven for Kids by Randy Alcorn is an adaptation of his best-selling book Heaven, tailored for a younger audience. The book utilizes an easy-to-use question-and-answer format to address children's questions about Heaven, covering topics they wonder about and some they haven't yet considered. It uses kid-friendly language and is designed to facilitate family discussions about the biblical truths of our promised destination. As a parent and grandparent, Alcorn emphasizes the importance of passing these truths on to the next generation. Help kids explore biblical answers to their questions about Heaven in a language they can understand. As in the adult title Heaven, Randy Alcorn addresses the difference between the present Heaven, where we go when we die, and the New Earth, where we will live forever with Jesus after he returns. Intended for kids ages 8–12, Heaven for Kids is sure to be an excellent resource for families, especially those in which the parents have read the adult title and wish to pass on that same level of understanding to their children. The book features ten chapters of questions and answers based on Scripture and is written in a style relevant to today’s kids. The book addresses kids’ common questions about Heaven, and also has a summary of the gospel for those who want to be sure they are going to Heaven someday. Equip your kids with answers to difficult questions and encourage them to live 'in light of Heaven.'
