Overview

This intriguing volume takes a different path to heaven. Rather than imaginatively guessing at what heaven will be like, or sorting through the problematic accounts of those who have supposedly been there, this work explores what the Bible teaches about what will not be there. What You WON’T Find in Heaven is filled with hope by contrasting everyday life now and future life in heaven. It explores how heavenly life will indeed be blissful because of what is missing.

Praise for What You WON’T Find in Heaven

Moroney has written a masterful work on a most important topic: heaven. He carefully and winsomely encourages us to meditate on eternity. His blend of warmth and wit, coupled with a deep theological grasp and commitment to Scripture, has produced a work I am eager to commend. Pick this book up today, and in so doing have your heart stirred with a deep and lasting hope for our eternal home.

—Alistair Begg, Senior Pastor, Parkside Church, Cleveland, OH

Moroney offers an encouraging, humorous, biblically careful, and theologically sound treatment of what will not be in heaven. Moroney wisely refuses to get his information from supposed visits to heaven, although he gives them fair treatment in an appendix. He also tackles twelve common questions concerning heaven in another appendix. I recommend this accessible and solid treatment of heaven as a help to God’s people.

—Robert A. Peterson, Professor of Systematic Theology, Covenant Seminary, St. Louis, MO
