Book Review: Heaven

Content banner image:   542F4670-C2D8-4730-8D6E-6285C8

Heaven- Randy AlcornFor most of us, it seems that our beliefs about heaven and eternal life have accrued layers of misconceptions over the years.

Randy Alcorn’s book, ‘Heaven’, does a wonderfully effective job of scraping away those layers of preconceptions and bringing us back to what scripture actually says. I found myself thrilled afresh, as I read this book, about the future I have in Christ. A future in a renewed creation that exceeds my imagination, but about which I am told an awful lot in the Bible.

There’s a lot here, but portioned up in nice short chapters. And with subjects like the following, you won’t be bored: What will the resurrected earth be like? What will our lives be like? What will our relationships be like? What about animals? What will we do in heaven? You won’t have to agree with all of Alcorn’s conclusions to be encouraged and built up by this book. Take up and read!

Planning your visit

New to church? New to the area? We’re so glad you’re here.

The Bridge Church is a growing family of Christians committed to sharing the good news about Jesus, loving one another, and serving our community in Pontprennau, Pentwyn, and beyond.

We’d love you to join us one Sunday. Here are answers to common questions to help you know what to expect.

When and where do you meet?

We meet every Sunday at 10am at Pontprennau Primary School, Heol Pontprennau, Cardiff (CF23 8LL). If you’re planning a first visit, you’re welcome to let us know in advance: office@bridgechurchcardiff.org.

Arriving about 15 minutes early helps with parking and finding a seat before the service starts. Parking is limited, so please park considerately.

What can I expect on a Sunday?

You’ll be welcomed at the door by our team, who can answer questions and help you find your way. Our service includes Bible readings, prayer, songs, and a talk explaining the Bible passage.

After the service, please stay for tea and coffee — it’s a great time to meet people and ask questions. Find out more about our Sunday services.

What happens to the children and youth?

We have groups for children and young people during the morning service. The service leader will announce when it’s time to go to their groups:

  • Crèche (up to 3 years): Stories, singing, crafts, and play in a caring environment.
  • Sunday School (Reception to Year 6): Interactive Bible learning through games, videos, and activities.
  • Youth (Years 7–13): Young people stay in the service, then meet afterwards to discuss and apply the sermon with a leader.

Find out more about our Children and Youth ministry.

Is there a dress code?

No — please come as you are. There’s no dress code.

Will I have to join in?

Not at all. You’re very welcome to observe and participate as much or as little as you feel comfortable.

Still have questions?

Speak to one of our leaders or the welcome team on a Sunday, or get in touch any time:
