We live in the world but are not of it, and yet this world matters. Dane Ortlund carefully navigates the beauty of a life that desires eternity in the next while living a worthwhile life in the here and now. C. S. Lewis once wrote that if we find in ourselves a desire that no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world. Ortlund seems to have taken that sentiment and drawn a roadmap for valuing the world we find ourselves in while properly calibrating for the world to come.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Si52z\"\u003e—\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eWesley Huff, historian and Vice President, Apologetics Canada\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“When Dane Ortlund writes, our sight grows sharper for the beauty of Christ. The excellencies of his worth are displayed concretely, viewed more clearly, felt more exquisitely. In Finally Home, Dane helps us see the next life as more than relief from suffering, the end of sin, or even our reunion with those we have lost. Life after death is about a person—Christ himself—overflowing with irrepressible joy to welcome us to an eternity of exploring grace. Let this book stir your longings for the happiness of that world.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Si52z\"\u003e—\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eDave Harvey, President, Great Commission Collective\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Some books about heaven explain; others intrigue.
