Book Cover & Preview Text
Heaven matters. It reminds us that life will not always continue as it does today. Things will change, and our lives will pass. This life is not forever, nor is it the best life that will ever be. The reality is that believers are headed for heaven. Knowing where you are going takes the uncertainty out of getting there. The hope of heaven isn’t wishful thinking. It’s reliance on a solemn covenant. It is trust in a contract that has been bought with a price, signed, guaranteed, and irrevocable. It is faith in a God who has proved that He always keeps His promises.
We were meant to live forever. That is what God intended. We have a longing in our hearts to bridge the gulf between us and those we love who have departed, from this life to the next. Many of us spend our days wondering what heaven will be like. We find ourselves like children again, anticipating the next great adventure.
There is a glorious rest beyond the grave; this earth is only the dress rehearsal for eternity. We do well to reflect often on the long tomorrow.

About the Book
Heaven Is Waiting is about heaven, but it is much more. It is about our longing for heaven, our innate instinct for it. It is about eternity in our hearts and how the hope of heaven inspires and sustains us. We groan inside as we resist death and cry for something more beyond the grave. What we call life is a journey to death; what we call death is the gateway to life.
Using biblical principles, Triplett paints a refreshing picture of heaven and provides proof that heaven is a real place. He challenges many preconceived ideas of what heaven will be like while answering the questions that you may not have had the courage to ask. He has collaborated with noted clergymen who share their insights about the heaven that can become your final forwarding address. This book will either affirm your belief in heaven or challenge your plan for getting there.
Heaven is a permanent residence, a city without a cemetery, a place where we unpack our bags—memories—and stay forever. Are you excited and ready for a great adventure? Are you anticipating what awaits you beyond death’s door? Prepare for the time of your life—heaven is waiting.
