Mather, Allen: The Transforming Power of Heaven

The theme of this book is that heaven is the pattern and source of the Christian life and that we are to interact with heaven now. Heaven is not just a future event, but a present reality. God wants to interact with us on a much deeper level that we have ever known. That interaction flows from His massive love for us. He wants our companionship more than we want His. This is a valuable handbook to guide you in your walk with God leading you to experience the presence of God in everyday life.

Allen grew up as an atheist. His love for science led him to the conclusion that science knew everything and had proven that there was no God. When Allen was twenty-one, he met a girl who would later become his wife. Her father was a very devout and godly man who began to pray for Allen. He started to go to church with her family and, during a church service, he went forward and invited Jesus into his heart. After studying architecture for five years, Allen transferred to Asbury University to study philosophy. He started a college ministry at the University of Kentucky and he saw hundreds of students ask Jesus to come into their lives during the Jesus Movement. He worked in public schools starting clubs and discipling teens and young adults until the ministries shut down because of Covid. As a result, Allen spent time talking and listening to Jesus. This book is a result of that time. Allen has an Associate Degree in Architecture and a B.A. Degree in Philosophy. He is married to Ruth and has two sons and seven grandchildren. He lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
