The Mansion

Written by Henry Van Dyke

Narrated by Bryson Walker, Leslie, Jarrus and Jesica

John Weightman has carefully and responsibly accumulated material wealth.

Indeed, he has built a respectable name and a respectable mansion here on earth.

But what has he built in heaven?

Jesus said, “In my Father’s house are many mansions.” 

In this story, Henry van Dyke invites us to go along with John Weightman to see what the mansions look like in heaven, and who shall inherit them.

Henry Van Dyke

Henry Van Dyke (1928–2011) was born in Allegan, Michigan, and grew up in Montgomery, Alabama, where his parents were professors at Alabama State College. He served in the Army in occupied Germany, playing flute in the 427th Marching Band. There he abandoned his early ambition to become a concert pianist and began to write. In 1958, after attending the University of Michigan on the G.I. Bill and living in Ann Arbor, he moved to New York, where he spent the rest of his life. Henry taught creative writing part-time at Kent State University from 1969 until his retirement in 1993, and was the author of four novels, including Blood of Strawberries, a sequel to Ladies of the Rachmaninoff Eyes.
