If I Should Die Before I Wake: Help for Those Who Hope for Heaven

by K. Scott Oliphint, Sinclair B. Ferguson

This brief, fascinating look at death and the afterlife asks the reader: "Why do you expect to get to heaven?" The authors point out the right and wrong answers to this question and dig deep into Scripture to reveal what the Bible says about the future and what one can expect in heaven.
