Book Description<\/h2>\n

This is a pastoral, thoughtful, encouraging, challenging and, above all, radically God-centred book. The thirty brief but compelling chapters remind us that this world is not our home, that our destiny is \u2018a city that has foundations whose designer and builder is God,\u2019 and that we are called to live world-engaging, Christ-glorifying lives. It also highlights a most important aspect of the gospel\u2019s message \u2013 the cosmic nature of Christ\u2019s redemption, from its beginning in the wake of Adam\u2019s tragic fall in humanity\u2019s first home, the garden of Eden, to its consummation in the new heavens and new earth.<\/p>\n

Here is a call to all Christians to live as pilgrims, pressing onwards and upwards to our eternal home.<\/p>\n
