Hope wins: Rediscovering a heavenly perspective for life on earth

When was the last time you thought about heaven? How much does eternity pop up in your conversations with other believers?

Following difficult personal experieces that included the tragedy of losing his daughter and his own battle with cancer, Goff Hope had a choice to make: either hold tightly to the Christian hope of an eternal future or give way to dispair in the darkest moments of his life.

Hope is fundamental for human wellbeing but it is in short supply in our world. We can quickly be robbed of hope by illness, personal tragedy or by the negative nature of news headlines. Goff Hope is convinced that the biblical understanding of heaven produces a hope that rises above temporal circumstances and is the only that we, in the face of suffering, hard places or death, can stand firm in the gospel and the goodness of God.

Interweaving personal testimony of the goodness of God with biblical teaching on heaven, Goff encourages us to see that when tough times come, and we are tempted to doubt or ask the big questions, such as, Why, Lord? we can have hope if we keep our eves on Jesus and have a heavenly perspective on our earthly life.
