Heaven Misplaced has been out for just over a month now, and we’ve had some very good feedback from our readers. You can see a complete list of blog reviews here; I’ve included a sampling below.
This book is based on scripture and is definitely recommended for those who want to see God’s grace and love spread over all the earth. Honestly, I enjoyed this book. It took me a while to read it and even longer to write the review, but I’m glad that I read it. This is not one of those books that you read to escape reality, but a book you read that will change your life.
Discussions in print of postmillennialism are rare enough, but simple and understandable ones are nearly unheard of. The average student of Christianity or eschatology never gives postmillennialism much of a thought and given what one would encounter in a typical evangelical discussion of the future, the lack of attention to postmillennialism is no great loss. Now, however, there is a well-written, interesting exposition of postmillennialism from the pen of Douglas Wilson. Heaven Misplaced is a new release from Canon Press that is essential for anyone wanting to actually understand postmillennialism enough to expound and explain it to the average person.
Even if you are not convinced by Historic Optimism, you will still find this book encouraging. Wilson evocatively reminds us of what Jesus’ death and resurrection actually accomplished. He really is the Lord of all nations. He really has been given authority over all powers. All we have to do is declare the authority and power that Jesus already has. If you are serving in what looks like a fruitless situation, these reminders are timely and life-giving.
