We are always looking at our future. Our plans for tomorrow or even this afternoon are on our minds right now. It’s human nature to plan. But how often do we think about our ultimate future? Our future that is a secure promise and guarantee? Much of our lives is unknown; the twists and turns we face in daily life often take us by surprise, but our ultimate destination is known. It is promised. A remarkable life is ahead for us—our home in heaven. Living in hope of heaven transforms our lives in incredible ways. We can walk with peace, joy, and overwhelming hope because we know where we are headed. Our destination is known, and we can look forward to the most amazing part of our future, our eternal life. Let’s dive into scripture and stories together in this book and get excited about our future. “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us” (Romans 8:18 ESV). Our future is bright, beautiful, filled with love, and something we should look forward to.

Winner of the 2001 Drue Heinz Literature Prize. The characters in Brett Ellen Block’s debut collection of short stories may know their destinations, but they don’t always rush to them. From a runaway on an ice cream truck to a down-and-out retiree in a porn shop, they struggle to face both their pasts and their futures. In a series of tightly focused and deftly drawn vignettes, Block explores the detours, potholes, and speed bumps along the road of life. These are stories about people at loose ends in their lives, coming to the realization that they can’t always sit back and enjoy the ride. Whether they’re committing petty larceny, moping their way through the winding streets and canals of Venice, or seeking to escape North Carolina’s Outer Banks, Block’s characters are learning to get behind the wheel and take control.
