Something's troubling five-year-old Tyler Nash. He's sitting on his bed looking very serious and thoughtful. He's about to ask his mother a very important question: Is there baseball in heaven?
Tyler's mom tells him no one quite knows what heaven's like for sure, but we do know it's much, much better than anything we can imagine. So knowing how wonderful heaven is, she thinks that yes, you can play baseball in heaven-and hit a home run every time you're at bat!
Join Tyler and his mom as they explore the idea of heaven in simple, kid-friendly terms. The two discuss what kind of candy and ice cream you'd eat, whether you can make new friends, and how even the best, most fun activities on earth are even better in heaven.
Written by elementary school teacher Tracy Sievers to help her oldest son cope with the passing of his infant brother, Home Runs in Heaven helps young Christian readers grasp how happy their loved ones are in heaven. Tyler's curious questions provide familiar terms children can use to grasp the concept of heaven. As Tyler notes, even crying's allowed in heaven-but the tears are tears of joy.
