I want to dedicate this book to my parents, Sven and Laila Hetland. Thank you for seeing me through Heavens eyes.

You dont write a book without a lot of help from a lot of people who have influenced you throughout your life. Some were particularly influential.

Jennifer, my beloved wife and best friend, you are my biggest cheerleader and the most beautiful and valuable person in my life.

Leif Emmanuel, Laila, Courtney, and Katherine, you make my life richer for knowing you. I am proud to be your father and excited to see you become world changers.

To my board members: Papa Jack, you have given me a godly inheritance. Your patience and kindness are endless! Rick and Bob, you guys really know how to put this Norwegian in a great place. Your support is invaluable.

Paul and Ahlmira, you have demonstrated that Heaven on earth is a family business.

My office staff, Leanne and Janelle, thanks for the hours of ideas and work you both put into this book.

Ken Gire, thanks for spending hours with me talking about the message of this book and coming alongside me as a friend and mentor in helping me learn how to express my heart through the printed word.

Don Milam, thank you for believing in me. The staff at Destiny Image, thank you for your support and help.

To the editor, probably the most vital and least thanked, thank you for helping me fulfill this dream.

I would love to thank my friends, and I am fully aware that I might leave someone out. You all really do know who you are and each of you has been a steady presence in my life. I really appreciate your input, from spiritual impartations to laughs on the phone to down time. Thank you!

Thank you to my friends and family at Bethel (Redding and Atlanta), Global Awakening, and others from coast to coast and around the world. Be blessed!

Leif Hetland has somehow managed to capture the heart of the Father with mere words. As I read this book, his words became like arrows, thrusting themselves into my heart. At times I found my soul scrambling for cover, overwhelmed by my own frailness. Like a skilled physician, Leif diagnoses the disease of humanity and prescribes the perfect cure.

Seeing Through Heavens Eyes is a convicting, convincing novel of love and the dance of passion. Leif summons his audience to leave their seats and waltz with God. But readers BEWAREyou need to be prepared to change BEFORE you read this book! Leifs personal stories will ravage your heart and transform your mind. You will have a hard time putting this book down.

It you are dry, empty, exhausted or bored, Leifs words will kiss you into the next realm. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is hungry for more of Heaven.

Leif Hetlands latest book, Seeing Through Heavens Eyes, is a powerful presentation of the love of God for people. It has a strong message of hope for all people, of Gods love for all nations.

Leif resets the focus of our cameras through which we see God. His recalibration of the face of God as revealed in Jesus is most helpful. I loved the way Leif leads us on the journey of refocusing how we see reality; the reality of God, the true perspective of ourselves, and the true perspective of others. I especially loved the fourth and last part of the book that dealt with how to see the future. Not through the eyes of defeat where the end time of the world and the Church is painted with dark colors of gloom, doom, death, and defeat, but a picture painted with bright colors of the end as hope filled, a glorious victory for the Kingdom of God. He reminds us that Heaven comes to Earth, paradise lost is paradise regained.

If you want a recalibration of the lens through which you see life, God, yourself, your enemies, and others who are in places of darkness; if you want a better, truer, perspective on life now and life as it can be, as well as the future, this is a great book to help calibrate the lens through which you see life. It will help you learn how to see reality through Heavens Eyes.

To quote Leif: This book is about the Fathers love, about how He brought the world into existence as a stage upon which that love could be seen, heard, and felt by all. If you are a believer, you have some understanding that God loves you. However, life experiences and familiarity with that truth can dull our awareness of the reality of that love. With great personal vulnerability, Leif shares his own journey in rediscovering the Fathers love and shows us how that perception colors everything in our lives. May Leifs insights shower you with a fresh impartation of Papas love for you!
