Many people imagine Heaven as a tedious, disembodied existence of endless worship. Jaród Murphey's Heaven and New Jerusalem: A Biblically-Accurate Survey of the City of God and Life in the Kingdom argues this is one of Satan's most cunning deceptions, designed to rob Christians of joy and deter unbelievers from seeking God.
