Heaven Will Be Wonderful, But What About Now? (ePub)

It has been on mind and in my heart to write this book in hopes that it will help others, no matter what their loss or struggle is. After the death of my youngest daughter at age five, I wrestled with all I had ever learned and believed as a Christian. Through the following years, with much prayer I poured out every feeling to God with all that was in my heart and on my mind.

I came to realize that I have to ask God to help me through this. And I have to give God my "whys." I realized it's easy to believe when all is going pretty well, but what about when it isn't? This book takes you on my journey to find answers, and to realize there are some questions that there are no earthly answers for, but we can find peace and strength from God.

These things I have spoken to you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you will have tribulation (troubles); but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. (John 16:33)

Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then [in Heaven] I shall know fully, even as I am known fully. (1 Corinthians 13:12)

These truths should strengthen our faith, offer a glimpse into the future, and give us hope that one day we will be complete when we see Christ in person and are in the presence of God.

We don't have all the answers now, but I have learned to trust God with what I don't understand. It is my hope that you will also.
