Excerpt from Heaven or an Earnest and Scriptural Inquiry Into the Abode of the Sainted Dead
Any book that will serve, in any degree, to draw the realities of the eternal world - especially of heaven - nearer to us, is not written and read in vain. There is great danger that the perishing objects of this life, because they are so near to us, may have a stronger effect on our hearts than those which are imperishable, because they are more distant. If, however, we can confirm our faith in them, and increase our desires after them, we have gained great helps to practical piety. "We are saved by hope." The sentiment of Stilling on the title-page is most sweetly true: "Blessed arc they that are home-sick, for they shall get home." Nothing can better create, or keep alive, this home-sickness for heaven, than a vivid representation to our minds of celestial treasures and attractions.
