The Happiness of Heaven

Heaven is the desired haven that the believer longs for. After the storms of life have ceased, the believer after death in that wonderful place, with their Lord and Saviour, will enjoy uninterrupted joy and pleasures. The Rev Maurice Roberts in this book, clearly and pastorally gives us a further insight into this wonderful place; which is, dear brethren, our long home! May the Lord's people, through reading this book, be stirred up to greater heavenly mindedness which is so needful today.

"I have seldom heard a minister preach with more relish, glow, and frequency about heaven than Rev. Maurice Roberts. In The Happiness of Heaven, Roberts shows that same giftedness in writing about the glorious state of eternal bliss. He writes with warmth, conviction, and longing, while not fearing to address biblically the difficult questions in masterful chapters such as ‘Children and Heaven’ and ‘The Dark Side of Heaven.’ This is one of the author’s best books yet. If you’re a believer, it will move you deeply and make you more homesick. Read it repeatedly to lift your soul up above the sin and mundane trivialities of this world and to set your affections on the Triune God and things above."
