John Weightman has carefully and responsibly accumulated material wealth.
Indeed, he has built a respectable name and a respectable mansion here on earth.
But what has he built in heaven?
Jesus said, "In my Father's house are many mansions."
In this story, Henry van Dyke invites us to go along with John Weightman to see what the mansions look like in heaven, and who shall inherit them.
Praise for Henry van Dyke and The Mansion:
