“I invite children and parents to reimagine heaven as a place that is not dream-like or boring,” Eng said, “but more real than this life and a place that will properly satisfy our longing for meaningful and mentally fulfilling work.”

In “What is Heaven Like?” author Richard R. Eng tells a story through the eyes of a six-year-old boy named Jesse, who is asking his dad questions about heaven. His father teaches him that heaven is not any less real than earth and will be eternally satisfying.
Eng had the idea to write a children’s book after he and his wife experienced a miscarriage. Through the grieving process, he realized all the conversations he would never be able to have with their unborn child. He wrote the book based on an imaginative conversation with his unborn son, who they planned to name Jesse, telling him what heaven would be like.
Throughout the book, Jesse’s dad tells him that heaven is much more than just avoiding the bad parts of life, but a completely blissful state. The colorful illustrations included in the story visually articulate the theme of the book to young children.
“I invite children and parents to reimagine heaven as a place that is not dream-like or boring,” Eng said, “but more real than this life and a place that will properly satisfy our longing for meaningful and mentally fulfilling work.”
