Freke presents in words and pictures fascinating images of the final resting place. Filled with color plates of mystic imaginings, angelic architecture, and celestial beings, Heaven guides you through the ultimate mystery of the promise of immortality, the promise of redemption, and the ascension of the soul."--Jacket.
