Heaven I Author:  Dr. Jaerock Lee

 

 

This book presents information on such lofty ideas of what heaven will be like, the Garden of Eden, and the Waiting place of Heaven (yet the Bible tells us that Jesus told the thief on the next cross, that they would be in paradise today.)

Jesus didn’t mention a three-day waiting period for orientation.  (31) Nor did He  say that some believers will not be in paradise but must live on the edges of Paradise. There are further limitations as to where the saved and unsaved do not go, as Dr. Lee has compartmentalized heaven. (34-35) Citing the garden of Eden as being in heaven, the waiting room of heaven, upper graves, and outer edges of paradise.

 

Other topics covered are:

• The seven year Wedding Banquet

• Secrets of Heaven hidden since the Creation

• How will we live in Heaven?

• The first, second, and third kingdoms of Heaven

• New Jerusalem

 

Dr Lee also shamelessly promotes other books he has written, which is really not necessary in this venue.  There is a listing of his other works at the back of this book, which should suffice.

 

Although this book may have been written with the purest of purposes, to bring more sheep into the fold, there is some difficulty in reading this stilted and halting narrative.  Furthermore, some broad areas have no biblical backing and therefore are merely conjecture. Arguably, the author claims that some of these revelations came to him from God, which is not being contested here, it’s that there are limitations that are implied in Holy Scriptures.  (That God has already told us what He wants us to know in the Bible.) 

This book is a little too free with the concept of Heaven and the life hereafter.

The primary concern being baby Christians (new believers) may interpret this book as Gospel, which it most certainly is not.
