In his book "Heaven," Randy Alcorn emphasizes the importance of perspective in understanding our existence and the afterlife. He suggests that people often begin their reasoning with Earthly experiences and try to make sense of Heaven from that viewpoint. This approach can limit our understanding of the profound nature of Heaven.

Instead, Alcorn advocates for starting from the concept of Heaven itself and using that as a foundation to interpret our Earthly lives. By adopting this heavenly perspective, individuals can gain deeper insights into their purpose and the spiritual realities that transcend our current existence.
