To some, the concept of having faith in a higher power or a set of religious beliefs is nonsensical.

Whether at home or in the wild, animals bring comfort, joy, fascination, and wonder into our lives. It’s only natural, then, to hope the animals we cherish so much on Earth will someday live with us again. For generations, however, many pastors and scholars have dismissed this idea, believing that Scripture is silent on the matter. And while countless pet-lovers cling to the hope that animals will be in Heaven, their belief is often rooted more in sentiment than in solid biblical teaching. Not anymore. Randy Alcorn, noted Bible scholar and bestselling author of Heaven, join us to offer a comprehensive, Scripture-based theology of animals and a paradigm-shifting vision of God’s restorative plan for all His creatures―from Eden to the New Earth.
