Publisher's summary

Heaven is multiethnic. Are you ready for that?

The Bible tells us that the congregation gathered around God's heavenly throne will be "a vast multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language," all singing the praises of the Lamb. God's intention has always been to delight for all eternity in a redeemed community of ethnic diversity.

But this diverse community shouldn't have to wait until eternity to begin! It can be a reality in our own local churches here and now. Patterned after a worship service, In Church as It Is in Heaven gives biblical warrant for such a community and shows how multiethnic churches provide a unique apologetic for the gospel. Along the way, the authors tell the story of their own church—a majority-white congregation which is being transformed into a family that reflects the diversity of heaven.

The multiethnic kingdom is not just a nice idea, or an abstract theory. It's a reality—one we can enter into today.

My Non-Clergy Opinion

Williams and Jones humbly offer personal experiences, biblical truths and practical guidance in support of their beautiful and hopeful vision that you and me, here and now, can join people from every tribe, tongue and nation in worshiping Jesus in our churches on Sunday, just as we will in heaven.

My one criticism is that the “scholarly” vocal performances seem to me to be a disservice to the down to earth and pastoral tone to what Williams and Jones have written. Even so, it’s a must listen (or read) for anyone who loves Jesus.
