'How worthy is heaven that your life should be wholly spent as a journey towards it. To what better purpose can you spend your life? How can you better employ your strength, use your means, and spend your days than in travelling the road that leds to the everlasting enjoyment of God; to his glorious presence; to the new Jersusalem; to the heavenly mount Zion; where all your desires will be filled, and no danger of ever losing your happiness?'
Jonathan Edwards in Stephen J Nichols, Heaven on Earth, p.114.
