    About this ebook

    In a world obsessed with apocalypses of all kinds, the concept of life after death lies very near and dear to the hearts of many. The book Stories of the Kingdom portrays life after life after death. Peeking into the lives and experiences of Christians from all ages of the earth, the stories paint a picture of what eternity will truly look like.

    Each short story introduces a new character, with unique backgrounds, and a slightly different perspective on the Millennial Kingdom, the Final Judgment, or the New World. The stories, while fictional, draw on the author’s extensive background in biblical theology and exegesis, attempting to bridge the gap between knowledge and experience.

    Readers of the stories will encounter a world quite unlike the present—where hope, life, and a future lay before every individual. The hope of Christianity stands on the other side of the Resurrection and Renewal of the world. The Stories of the Kingdom open a window into that wondrous future beyond.

      An Introduction to the Stories

      The Earth is our home. That’s how God created it, and that’s what it will be for eternity. But for those of us who grew up thinking some ethereal place called heaven held our eternal destiny, it’s difficult to understand earth to be our final dwelling place. This book, however, is built on the theology of the Resurrection and the Christian hope of a renewed, perfected, and glorified Earth
