I think heaven will be different for different people.

The “constant” will be the presence of the Trinity. And the peace that will accompany that presence.

What I was confused about, was he said nominally, he was a Christian. I don’t know exactly what that means. I DO know, that the Apostle Paul had a vision of Heaven too, and tried to tell us what it was like. I think his description was woefully inadequate, though he tried. It really is true, eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it entered into the mind of man. There is no language to describe it, and when we see Paul, we might ask him why he could not tell us what it is really like, and he will probably just say he tried to describe it.

He doesn’t say anything about the Trinity.

In fact he says stuff like this:

“Dr. Alexander met and heard from thousands of individuals whom his story has affected. He also studied what the world’s religious traditions, and its philosophers, have had to say about the soul’s survival of death, and he has been deeply surprised at how often those voices from the past synch up with what he heard from people today. In The Map of Heaven, he shares some of the stories that the people have told him and links them up with what the world’s spiritual traditions have to say about the journey of the soul.

Part metaphysical detective story, part manual for living, The Map of Heaven explores humankind’s spiritual history and the birth of modern science in the seventeenth century, showing how we forgot, and are now at last remembering, who we really are and what our true destiny really is.”

Nothing about God or Christ, but all sorts about diverse spiritual traditions.

Oprah and Newsweek hype this guy.

We have no need for these kinds of Charlatans.
