All Things New

What if the future God promises is far more tangible—and beautiful—than we’ve dared to imagine?

In All Things New, New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge invites you to envision the breathtaking reality of God's promise: the renewal of all things. Drawing from Scripture, Eldredge reveals that the ultimate hope for believers is not an ethereal heaven, but a restored earth—a New Earth where everything we love and cherish is made new. This book offers a profound shift in perspective, encouraging readers to anchor their hope in the tangible restoration God has planned.
