註釋

When you think of heaven do you imagine a place with gilded gates and winged angels? Or maybe you envision a peaceful garden? Where is heaven? How do you get there? Who "lives" in heaven? Is it a real place, or just in the mind? The Children's Illustrated Encyclopedia of Heaven explores heaven through the eyes of many different cultures and beliefs. Inside you'll find chapters on Christian Heaven, Jewish Heaven, Heaven in Islam, Buddhist Heavens, and many more! Learn about Heavenly Beings, Gods and Angels, Creation Myths and Sacred Places. And discover the wonders of the sacred Viking Valhalla, the story behind the mystical Elysian Fields and fascinating information on many more heavenly traditions. Divinely illustrated in full-color, this remarkable book also explores ideas about heaven on earth, heaven in literature, heaven in art and music and especially features real children and their feelings about heaven. A wondrous yet completely accessible exploration into the spiritual and religious heavens throughout the history of the world-and an important look at what heaven means to each and every one of us.
