God is calling his people to a new and higher place where they learn to live heaven's joyful culture here on earth. This is the key to the sons and daughters of God living in the freedom and glory that creation is waiting to see.
I heartily recommend The Culture of Heaven as a grounding vision, a Biblical mandate, and a model and inspiration for what is possible (and already happening) on earth when Heaven and Heaven's King invades!

This is like a Kingdom manual for transformation for whole cities and regions! Not only that, but how you the reader can begin to have the Kingdom mindsets and practical outworkings to be a part of bringing that transformation.

In his book, The Culture of Heaven, David Melander makes extensive use of the Word of God. It is obvious that David and I are "cut from the same cloth". David highlights the importance of sons and daughters of God and says, "creation eagerly waits for" them (Romans 8:19). I recommend this book to all those seeking to have confidence that they are operating in the will of God (1 John 5:14-15).

Believers are seated with Christ in heavenly places and therefore living in a different culture. This book calls us into that culture and demonstrates its life and function in the world.

I have known David for years and I have watched him build the Kingdom wherever he is. David's heart is passionate about releasing true sons and daughters in this world. His unique set of giftings will equip and empower you. I am grateful that he wrote this book from a place as a son, sharing from his heart.
