I am reading Randy Alcorn's book called Heaven. First off, I must say, I am a fan of this guy. I have read two of his other books, The Treasure Principle and Safely Home and enjoyed both... especially Safely Home (a must read for any China fans). Heaven is quite different than the other two books and I am not too far in it but I am enjoying it too. I wanted to share an interesting quote.
" If any righteous man among the Christians passes from this world, they rejoice and offer thanks to God, and they escort his body with songs and thanksgiving as if he were setting out from one place to another nearby."
It was written in AD 125 by a Greek man named Aristides. This is an interesting perspective on the death of a believer, just thought I would share.
