GoodBookStall Review:
I confess I struggled with this title; it is such unfamiliar territory – and yet it should not be!
H. A. Baker and his wife were missionaries in the Yunan Province of China and this book was originally published in the late 1930s or early 40s, so the references relate to those times.
The publisher writes ‘In John 14:2 Jesus told His disciples, "In my father's house are many mansions; if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you." This remarkable book describes those mansions as revealed to a number of believers including William Booth, who went on to form the Salvation Army after his experience in heaven. Others who had similar life-changing experiences, including John Bunyan and Sadhu Sundar Singh, went on to live lives wholly dedicated to preaching the gospel.
H.A.Baker also knew members of his flock who while being filled with the Holy Ghost were taken into heaven and saw what is described in this book. With many Bible references backing up these visions, we come to realise we should know far more about heaven than most of us thought. We blithely sing about angels in our hymns, we know Jesus’ words about mansions and have a vague idea that heaven will be glorious, but how many of us have searched our Bibles for descriptions of what is to come? Heaven and the Angels will do much to clarify your beliefs.
