【關於作者】瑪麗‧奧斯卡森 Marie Oskarsson瑞典記者、繪本作家。自高中畢業後，即從事記者工作，2001年出版第一本繪本創作後，開始為孩子和青少年寫書。在大穎文化已出版的繪本有：《蟲蟲你的天堂，是什麼模樣？無窮的享樂，終極的平靜，還是永恆的福樂？我們對天堂的想像，影響著現今每一天的生活。如果將天堂想像為純粹靈體的存在，死後靈魂要上天堂，那我們對生命中的小事可能會不加重視，不知道照顧身體跟珍惜物質的重要性；如果將天堂想像為和現在世界無關的斷裂式存在，不了解神要你我在今生服事他人的使命，那我們對工作的態度大概會有所輕忽、不注重細節。相反地，倘若我們能更新對天堂的想像，發現神的心意與安排何等深邃宏大，在新天新地降臨時將如何深刻悅納我們的工作，那每天的生活將變得充滿活力，對身邊人事物的投入也將變得堅忍不拔、充滿盼望。本書作者麥克奈特認為，要得著這樣的更新，需要從聖經出發，看見基督教所描述的天堂，跟當前文化流行的天堂觀何等不同。神所應許的天堂，不是充滿靈體的聚集地，也不是智性思維的匯流處，而是有靈魂、有身體的整全復活，是在新天新地中與神和所愛之人重聚的歡樂慶典。這個根基於耶穌基督身體復活的天堂觀，將推動你我重新想像眼前的世界，用非凡的力量來面對世上的邪惡不公，以強大的盼望來扭轉每個至暗時刻。你的天堂，是鎮日坐在白雲上彈豎琴？還是像仙俠劇一樣在紫霞中飛天遁地？跟著麥克奈特，突破我們那被文化或特定傳統所形塑的想像力，感受聖經所應許的天堂，是如何寬闊、喜悅、超乎我們所求所想；而我們的生命將變得積極、喜樂且充滿平安！本書探討關於天堂的⮕➏大應許：神、耶穌、歡樂、生命、群體、公義➓大QA：瀕死經驗、天堂獎賞、普救論、神義論、婚姻、孩童、寵物、火葬、煉獄、天堂的存在⚝讚譽「關於天堂的奇思異想和富有想像力的觀點無處不在，已然充斥我們身邊。幸運的是，麥克奈特帶我們將天堂這件事，從渴望達成的願望，轉變成為神賜給我們的偉大應許。本書以風趣、細心和深刻的聖經洞察，清晰地解釋了天堂為何比我們所盼望、所想像更美好：那是一個與神生活在一起的國度。《天堂的力量》是一份送給眾教會的禮物。」——文森特•巴科特（Vincent Bacote）博士，惠頓學院（Wheaton College）應用基督教倫理中心主任「我服務於一個絕望與韌性並存的社群，死亡的現實日日籠罩。為賦予教會力量，我們需要對天堂的應
