BOOK BLURB
Will heaven be dream-like? Will heaven be boring? Follow Jesse, a 6 year old boy, as he talks to his dad about what heaven will be like. Fresh metaphors and vivid illustrations guide kids and parents to a Biblical and beautiful theology of heaven.
Following an unexpected pregnancy and subsequent miscarriage, this book resulted as Richard and Ashley processed the loss of their unborn child, Jesse. This story is an imaginative conversation between Richard and his lost baby about what Heaven is like.

This delightful children's book is vivid without being preachy and emotional without being overly sentimental. In the tradition of C. S. Lewis, it reminds adult and child readers alike that heaven is more real and substantial than the earth, not vice versa.

Professor in English and Scholar in Residence, Houston Baptist University

[What Is Heaven Like?] dispels the Sunday school caricatures of Heaven that usually fail to awaken our longing for our true country. This book should be in every child's library.
