Reviewing a bad book about a good topic, Tim Challies concludes with this statement:
If you struggle believing what the Bible says, but learn to find security in the testimony of a toddler, well, I feel sorry for you. And I do not mean this in a condescending way. If God’s Word is not sufficient for you, if the testimony of his Spirit, given to believers, is not enough for you, you will not find any true hope in the unproven tales of a child. This hope may last for a moment, but it will not sustain you, it will not bless you, in those times when hope is waning and times are hard. [Heaven Is For Real]
He makes this statement about a particular book and the reality of heaven. But if you won’t believe the Bible about any topic, then nothing else will ever give you confidence in that reality. Lesson? Scripture has infinite authority as the God-breathed Word; so cultivate confident faith in that Word and leave the vain speculations of others where they should remain — on the bookstore shelf.
