Heaven For Kids Read Free Books and Download eBooks
In a language kids can understand, Randy Alcorn explores Biblical answers to the questions kids often have about heaven. As in the adult title, Heaven, he addresses the difference between the present Heaven, where we go when we die, and the New Earth, where we will live forever with Jesus after he returns. Intended for kids age 8-12, Heaven for Kids is sure to be an excellent resource for families, especially those in which the parents have read the adult title and wish to pass on that same level of understanding to their children. The book features ten chapters of questions, and answers based on scripture and written in a style relevant to today's kids. The book also has a summary of the Gospel for those who want to be sure they are going to Heaven someday. Randy encourages kids to live “in Light of Heaven.”

I first purchased this book because I had read the "Heaven" book by Randy Alcorn. The book is based on Scripture and is easy to understand. I think children need to know the "real" idea about Heaven, rather than some "ficticious" thoughts. I find it encouraging to know that here is a great and trusted source to help children understand what Heaven is really all about and the wonders that await those who have accept Christ into their lives.I recommend Heaven for Kids to any and all children who want to know what Heaven is all about.
The CEF Mailbox Club sends Heaven for Kids as an award to children who have completed a certain correspondence course and has been well received. This excellent book should be a "must read" for all 8-12 year olds. It would also be helpful for Sunday school teachers and parents as a guide on how to anwer questions children have regarding Heaven. Each chapter is prefaced with a Scripture passage and a corresponding allegorical selection from The Chronicles of Narnia. The chapters are divided into potential questions on the various aspects of Heaven. There are entertaining examples but the answers are always backed up with a liberal sprinkling of Scripture references and Biblical principles. It also deals with secular misconceptions such as people becoming angels or ghosts when they die and sitting on clouds, etc. Absolutely one of the best books for children that has ever been published.
This is another wonderful book for kids about Heaven. Once again my kids just loved it. Every night they were eager to read this book before bedtime to try and answer the questions. The questions were very thought provoking and got all of us thinking a lot more about heaven. Randy did a great job of weaving in the truths of scripture and making it easily understood and helping me to be more confident in speaking to my kids about heaven.
I've never seen an author approach the cotroversial topic of Heaven as Alcorn does in this book. Having grown up in the church, I've heard about heaven so many times and that's "where" we get to spend eternity "praising God" and such. And, that was all fine for me ... until my dad was killed suddenly in a boating accident. Then, just knowing I was "going to heaven" was just not enough for me. And, the more I searched the Scriptures, the more confused I became. I was hopeless and had resigned myself to believing (well, I had been misled by the Evil One) that we would have no idea who people were and heaven was this sort of intangible, mystical place that I was *supposed* to be excited about. I wasn't. In my heart, I was fatherless and I could have cared less about heaven if that's all that it was. Oh, I wanted it to be enough to just be with my Lord and Savior, but I could not let go of just not knowing my dad any more. What was the point? I bought this book for my kids since dealing with death had hit them at such an early age, they always have questions and always felt so incapable of answering their questions ... until this book! Thank you, Mr. Alcorn, for giving hope to this hopeless mom!
I absolutley love this book! I have a progressive disease and worry about my young child growing up without his mom. I read this book first and found great comfort in what it has to say about Heaven. I appreciate all the references to scripture so you can look things up for your self if you choose. I will now begin reading this to my son so he will have a better understanding of what Heaven is all about. This book is very uplifing. A must have for all Christian homes!
HeavenEveryone should read this book, Christian or not. If you are a Christian, you will become more excited than ever to leave this earth and go to your new home. If you are not a Christian, you will be ready to give your life to God, so that you too, may go to HEAVEN!!! Everything that Mr. Alcorn writes is backed by scripture, so this is not a "made up" story. "Heaven" has given me more determination than ever to try to reach the unsaved.
When we found out my father in law was dying of pancreatic cancer, one of our main concerns was how to deal with it with our kids. This book was a great resource, especially for our introspective 11 year old. She was able to read it on her own and ponder the chapters. It gave her great comfort to know that because of Grandpa's faith in Christ, he has a promise of eternity in heaven - free from any more pain or suffering. She also like to read that heaven is going to be exciting and active - not a bunch of cloud-sitting and harp playing. In fact she said, "Now that I've learned more about what heaven will be like, I'm a little jealous that Grandpa gets to go so soon." I highly recommend for any family in a similar situation.
I read the adult version of this book and really got a lot out of it. So much so that I felt compelled to buy this for my kids. My spouse and I read this to our kids and that was a good thing. Our oldest is 11 and we had to go slow and explain a lot of the thoughts and concepts in the book.I'm not sure if our kids captured the exciting vision of hope that the author intended to convey, but it was a good family experience to read it to them.I gave the book 4 stars because younger kids may have a harder time grasping the vision; therefore, I would now say that this book is more appropriately aimed at kids in their young teens although they may chafe at the "For Kids" tag on the cover. I should note that the content of this kid's version is totally solid and that I thoroughly enjoyed the adult version of this book as well.
