WONDERFULLY PRESENTED:
The book isn’t a heavy, dusty tome that will take up most of your shelf space. It’s a little, tiny, delicate book that looks well suited resting on a coffee table or standing against a computer screen on an office desk.

When opened you’ll discover soft, warming tones across each page. With light browns, subtle oranges and large text it becomes a joy to pick up and read. Within each of the 20 chapters are pictures to rest your eyes from words and cleverly formatted text to your eyes satisfied and hunger for more.

In the second chapter rose petals form the end of a Bible reading and in the third chapter (based on clothing) a railing full of coat hangers begin the reading and clothes pegged to a washing line end it. These visuals help Max’s reading dig deeper into your memory and make his insightful teaching hit home.

SHORT – 3 MINUTE CHAPTERS:
The book isn’t for reading in one chunk, with wordy theology and swirling arguments that over complicate rather than make it clear. It’s easy-to-read, quick chapters make ‘Beyond Heaven’s Door’ a devotional book to dip in an out of in your own time and in the places you want.

Each short chapter will take no longer than 3 minutes to read, with engaging story that are enriched with cracking Bible verses. Read in a devotional way, this book has untold potential to impact your day when you need it. Say you’ve had a rough day at work, or you’ve got a big decision to make, or your mind is swirling with doubt, fear or anxiety. Let Max calm your thoughts and centre your soul on what’s important – your journey heavenward.

SO, THIS IS WHAT I THINK:
If you enjoy a Lucado book, this will not disappoint. If you enjoy spending time with God in the morning with a cup of coffee (or green tea in my case), this will be a refreshing change. If you need some comfort, this will focus your mind and heart. If you need a pick-me-up, Max will brush off the troubles of the day.

I like it, and I think you’ll like it too.

“Beyond Heaven’s Doors is a delightful little book to point your eyes towards eternity.”

“The down-to-earth American pastor and bestselling author, Max Lucado writes as if you’re sitting beside him, with a friendly, non-confrontational smile. His engaging stories, excellent metaphors and biblical grasp always make his books both assessable and revelatory. This one is all about heaven: what’s it like, will I get in, what will we do, how do I explain it to others and how can you prepare.”

“We think this book is an ideal coffee break read, with short and to-the-point chapters that only take 3 minutes to read. With Max’s friendly guidance, we can all make our eternal destination today’s reality.”

Thoughts of heaven can be unsettling. Life with no end? Space with no bounds? Are we supposed to feel good about these things?

Bestselling author Max Lucado assures us that we can. There is much about heaven that we don't yet understand. And while thoughts on our final destiny may stir questions, they needn't stir our fears.

In Beyond Heaven's Door Max takes us on a journey from finding certainty in our destination to God's great promises of the hereafter. Open the door and catch a glimpse of the joy that awaits you in heaven—and find hope for today in the process.
