From there, Steve finds himself with Joshua, Moses' successor.

Far too many people believe Heaven is an uninteresting, boring place. They imagine angels lounging on clouds, lazily strumming on harps. Unfortunately, this is how Heaven is often depicted to children. As Revelation 21:4 states, "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." It is impossible for Heaven to be boring; it is the opposite of boring. In Heaven, there will be perfect peace that passes all understanding, perfect hope that brings full contentment, perfect joy that brings true happiness, and perfect love that is forever. This book is intended to help children better understand the wonder and glory of Heaven!
