Janet Willis has brought together the heart of one passionate for truth, the skill of an able student of the Word, and the keen eye and hand of an artist. Janet has collated the Scriptures into a systematic theology about the future City of God: the New Jerusalem. Janet's work is thorough without being overly technical, making it accessible to anyone who wants to be a better student or teacher of the Bible. She has done the church a wonderful service. -Dave Burggraff, PhD, Professor of Historical and Systematic Theology, Shepherd's Seminary, NC
Janet's careful research into the actual, biblical descriptions of heaven will take you step by step, verse by verse, exposing truths that most Christians have never heard before including the fact that the heavenly city will one day be on earth. Sound surprising? Well then, buckle up as your Biblical tour is about to begin. Take it directly from me, very few books have so profoundly challenged and changed my thinking. -Stephen Davey, Senior Pastor of The Shepherd's Church, Cary, NC
For many of us who embrace the Christian faith, most medieval depictions of heaven appear as fanciful and fictional distortions of its realities. Janet's work is designed to rescue us from these fabrications and falsehoods. This has led her to engage in a meticulous research of the biblical data which relate to heaven. Having embraced what scholars would call a literal/normal hermeneutic, which takes seriously what Scripture actually says about the world to come, she has managed to give us a perspective of heaven that goes beyond the abstract to the concrete. -Dr. Doug McLachlan, Chancellor Central Baptist Theological Seminary of Minneapolis
Janet in this book has painted (by words and pictures) a look into Christ's future Kingdom in a way that can transform your life. May you find this study as exciting and fresh as I have... enlarging your view of His coming Kingdom.-Dr. Dann Spader, President of Global Youth Initiative
Janet Willis has taken a very difficult and little discussed topic, presenting it accurately and in a way that we all can understand and visualize. We had read Randy Alcorn s book on Heaven, and think What on Earth is Heaven Like? has taken our understanding of the beauty and glory of the New Jerusalem a step further. -Dr. Ronald A. Allchin, Sr. Executive Director Biblical Counseling Center, Arlington Heights IL
Compelled by family tragedy of indescribable agony, Janet Willis began a careful, detailed, and clear study of what we can know about heaven. The result is a landmark work that offers clear, real hope to those who are suffering now and to all of us whose suffering is ahead. -Walt Brown, Ph.D., Author of In the Beginning: Compelling Evidence for Creation and the Flood
This is a remarkable piece of work. Janet Willis unpacks the biblical data in a thorough, responsible, biblical, and easy-to-understand way. -Dr. Gary Hedrick, President of CJF Ministries, San Antonio, TX
