Heaven
Randy Alcorn's Heaven (2004) is one of the most thorough and carefully researched treatments of the afterlife ever written from a biblical perspective. Alcorn's central thesis is that most Christians have inherited a vague, unbiblical picture of heaven — clouds, harps, and disembodied spirits floating in an eternal church service — and that this misunderstanding has caused us to dread or simply ignore what should be our greatest hope. Drawing from hundreds of Scripture passages, Alcorn argues that heaven is not an escape from physical reality but its glorious restoration: a New Earth where redeemed humanity will eat, explore, create, work, worship, and reign with God in resurrected bodies forever. The book is organized in five major parts, moving from the current heaven (where believers go at death) to the eternal Heaven on the New Earth, and then to practical questions about what we will actually do and experience there.
View Discussion GuideThe Treasure Principle
Randy Alcorn's The Treasure Principle is a compact but life-changing book built around a single, arresting idea: you can't take it with you — but you can send it on ahead. Drawing on Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6:19-21 ("Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth… but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven"), Alcorn argues that joyful, radical generosity is not merely a financial strategy but a spiritual discipline that rewires the heart. The book's central "Treasure Principle" is this: You can't take it with you, but you can send it on ahead. Alcorn unpacks six "keys" that flow from this principle, showing readers that where we put our money is where our hearts will follow — and that releasing our grip on earthly wealth is the path to both kingdom impact and deep, lasting joy.
