Heaven is Now – awakening your five spiritual senses to the wonders of grace
by Andrew Farley
I really don’t remember how I stumbled onto Andrew Farley. But stumble onto him I did.
The bible tells us that we are sinners and that Jesus died on the cross as payment for our sins. So why then, can I not let go of the guilt and shame I feel? Why do I feel God is disappointed in me? And why do I have visions of me standing before God like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz standing before the great Oz being judged?
Enter Andrew Farley and Heaven is Now
In his book, Dr. Farley teaches us how to experience heaven now while we are still earth bound. He draws on our five senses to pull us into the experience while freeing us from the many burdens traditional doctrine places on believers.
As I proceeded through the each of his bite size chapters, I found myself feeling lighter, happier, dare I say relieved as many of the misconceptions I grew up with were removed one by one. Within the pages of this book are simple, logical explanations backed by scripture that has removed the guilt and shame I have been carrying around for years.
Dr. Farley reminds us, Jesus died for our sins – not just for the sins of those who came before Him. He died for the sins of all including those who would come after as well. Jesus didn’t die for some of our sins. He died for all our sins. After solidifying this concept for the reader, Dr. Farley spends the rest of the book showing his reader how to fully enjoy and experience Heaven now, here on this earth.
One of my favorite parts of this book is the ‘Heaven Speaks’ section found at the end of each chapter. ‘Heaven Speaks’ summarizes the chapter in the form of a letter to us from Jesus. The care and compassion of our Savior becomes tangible for the reader allowing one to feel the love of Christ for His children. The chapter closes out with a prayer for the reader to pray.
I always felt I was missing a piece to the puzzle of my relationship with God. Something wasn’t setting right with me, yet I couldn’t put my finger on what it was. In Heaven is Now, Dr. Farley fills in that missing piece. He has removed the obstacles that have kept me from having the relationship with my Heavenly Father I always knew was possible.
Because of this book, I have a new relationship with Christ. It is one built on the foundation of love rather than guilt or shame. It is built on knowing we have a caring and compassionate God who loves us so much He sent His son to die so that we may live. Give it a read. I’m confident it will open you up to a stronger, deeper relationship with our Lord.
