Having recently celebrated his 85th birthday, first-time novelist Larry Vanderveen announced today that he has just published his first book entitled In Heaven for Awhile, a thought-provoking, inspiring and uplifting story complete with elements of science fiction, a touch of believable fantasy and exciting possibility.

"The true-life stories from today, such as Heaven Is For Real, have inspired me to write In Heaven for Awhile, my first novel. The book reflects my faith, my beliefs and ultimately my vision of what heaven is," commented Vanderveen. "I hope it will encourage you to think about what Heaven is to you."

In Heaven for Awhile follows Jim Bentley, a high school astronomy teacher in Los Angeles. He lives alone and lonely. Then one day all that changes. He finds that he is needed. There are people in his life who have worse problems than his, and they can't solve them. It turns out that the best place to help them from is Heaven; a place he doesn't believe exists until he finds himself right in the middle of it.
