The Icon is a story of imagination, loyalty and ancient history for the reader to lose themselves in.

The future hope of heaven is pulled into the here-and-now in this illuminating description of the kingdom of God. Popular teacher and author R. Alan Streett exposes half-truths about the kingdom that many believers have unwittingly accepted. He contrasts these with the testimony of Scripture: Jesus inaugurated the kingdom of God on the earth—it has already begun. As ambassadors of the kingdom, we are to fulfill our responsibilities and enjoy its benefits here and now. Salvation does not culminate with the soul escaping the body and living forever in heaven. Our bodies will eventually be transformed, and we will live with God on a restored earth. The church is like an embassy of heaven in a foreign country. In their life together, believers demonstrate kingdom realities to the world. Readers will find hope and direction in this fresh presentation of the historic teaching on the kingdom.

Millions of Christians have struggled with how to reconcile God's love and God's judgment: Has God created billions of people over thousands of years only to select a few to go to heaven and everyone else to suffer forever in hell? Is this acceptable to God? How is this "good news"? Troubling questions—so troubling that many have lost their faith because of them. Others only whisper the questions to themselves, fearing or being taught that they might lose their faith and their church if they ask them out loud. But what if these questions trouble us for good reason? What if the story of heaven and hell we have been taught is not, in fact, what the Bible teaches? What if what Jesus meant by heaven, hell, and salvation are very different from how we have come to understand them? What if it is God who wants us to face these questions? Author, pastor, and innovative teacher Rob Bell presents a deeply biblical vision for rediscovering a richer, grander, truer, and more spiritually satisfying way of understanding heaven, hell, God, Jesus, salvation, and repentance. The result is the discovery that the "good news" is much, much better than we ever imagined. Love wins.

This book is about my journey with God. God can make the impossible possible. Never in my life did I ever think I could produce a book. God provided all the information. I was just a vessel with pen and paper. The experience I had with God was fantastic, but it was not an easy journey. What I have experienced is that when you believe in God, you are faced with a spiritual battle, which is not easy at all. When God chooses you to do his work, satanic spirits challenge you. They dont make your journey easy. My advice to people is that they not give up easily when pursuing their journey with God. You always need to trust in God Almighty. All I can say is that God indeed exists. Satan also exists. The only weapon able to defeat Satan is prayer. For me to get to this point of producing a book, I had a rough journey. The road I travelled had lots of obstacles, potholes, curves, bridges, and sicknesses. Indeed, God is powerful.
