Heaven and How to Get There


This issue of Israel My Glory is devoted to heaven and how to get there. The Bible doesn’t tell us everything about life in eternity, but it tells us enough. We hope these articles encourage you about the wonderful future God has planned for those who love Him and that they’ll motivate you to tell others about Jesus.
IMG In Depth: Our radio host, Chris Katulka, discusses his article, "Home to Eden" in this issue.
