Jesus has returned, Judgment Day is over, God has created a new heaven and a new earth where people will live forever in the New Jerusalem.

What is that life like? Is it a world of disembodied spirits sitting around playing harps and singing hymns of praise to God? A somewhat boring world?

Fortunately, God has promised us much more: Our bodies shall be resurrected, and our new lives shall be what God originally intended them to be. This novel describes how that eternal life might be: An active life, full of love and exploration and a close relationship with God.

Kate is a cartographer, trying to draw maps of the new world. But why do the trees and mountains seem to move as the centuries go by? Anna is a zoologist, studying the changes that animals have undergone in the new world. Greg is an astronomer, wondering why the speed of light appears to be slowing down. Together with a number of friends they go on an expedition to explore unknown areas of the New Earth.

Will they also solve the mystery about what happened to the lions?
