Heavens Perspective: Stories from the Book of Life

Read a Free Chapter

Heaven's Perspective gives you a sneak peek at the Book of Life, through letters from Jesus to seventeen ordinary believers about their greatest experiences of suffering and adversity. You'll feel Jesus' heartbeat as his shares his unique pleasure in each one, and marvel as you witness how he uses even their faults and failures to bring them to their destinies.

A mother learns that the son she lost will never experience a day without her in heaven. A missionary harassed by the KGB learns the secret rescue mission Father sent him on, a thrice-divorced woman sees Jesus take her shame away forever--and much more. You'll learn to reinterpret your own life in the light of glory while you absorb tools for doing the same with others.

The book is organized around The Seven Frames, a tool developed by MetaFormation for getting an eternal perspective on life's most important events. Each of the Seven Frames is illustrated in a pair of "God-Stories"--stories of painful life events we've rewritten through Jesus' eyes, from heaven's point of view. You'll absorb a new perspective on human events as you follow the stories of the missionary who was arrested by the KGB, a mother who nearly died in childbirth, God's hand extending to the father whose son was abused, and many more.

This is a great inspiration for general readers, as well as a practical tool for coaches to learn to reframe client life stories from heaven's point of view.  Be prepared as you enter into this journey of Heaven's Perspective - it might just shatter your expectations and perspective of God. Much like "The Shack" opened up a generation to knowing God as a loving Father rather than a stern and unforgiving taskmaster, Heaven's Perspective will give you insight into the Father's heart that you'll never expect and will change the way you look at every story of your life, or the lives of those you coach!
