Sweet Dreams
ISBN: 9780571315925 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Heaven, reported St John in Revelation, was a cubical city 12,000 furlongs high made of 'pure gold, like unto clear glass'.

The journey was undertaken not by a mystical reporter like St John, but by Howard Baker, an observer of much more modern outlook. He finds a city which offers rich opportunities for leisure and enjoyment - but one which also presents a moral and intellectual challenge. In short, a...

Heaven, the Book of Revelation tells us, is a city of pure gold, 1,500 miles high, and decorated in sapphire, amethyst, and emerald.

But wouldn't most of us feel a little out of our element in such a place? What about a Heaven for ordinary, modern people? Howard Baker is waiting at a traffic light when suddenly he finds himself in a strange and... 'A man sits in his car at the traffic lights, waiting for them to go green...'
