The Gravity of Heaven: Walking in the Reality of Sonship

★★★★★

“In a culture and time when family identity and definitions are being blurred, The Gravity of Heaven is a wonderful and empowering book. It captures the essence and expression of what it means to be a son and daughter of God. Personal experiences along with Biblical examples help the reader connect to the deep call in every one of us that desires to hear, “this is my son in whom I’m well pleased.

Heaven will come to earth, if you will become who you really are.

No matter your starting point, The Gravity of Heaven offers a clear path to reclaiming your identity – by uncovering the source of true identity itself, found in one word: Father. Brian Sherman, with a conversational style that breaks down deep concepts into simple language, clears away the confusion and uncovers the truth in scripture about what God intended when He dreamed of you – and what Jesus came to reveal and restore to us about our original purpose.

If you’re struggling to find clarity about who you are, the problem isn’t you. The problem is the search itself. Identity – true identity – is not something you can “find” or figure out. It’s not a puzzle, riddle, or a problem you solve. You can try, and nearly everyone does, but you will never discover the central truth of who you are on your own. Truth is a person…and He is a son. Meaning, he reflects the Father. That’s what makes him “true”, and that’s what makes you true. True identity can only be bestowed, and only the Father can do that. Only He knows your name.

In this book, readers will discover the theme of sonship – God-given, Father-derived, image-bearing identity – throughout the Bible. God meets humanity, one person after another, and reveals a startling truth to each: Heaven knows who you are, but you don’t. This is the human condition: we’ve all learned to be someone – one who can survive and “make it” in the world on our own. We’ve each learned to be a self. But we were each really made to be a son, a heaven-reflecting image of the Father. There is a startling difference. All of our daily struggles can be rooted in that one simple truth: be a self, or be a son.

The Gravity of Heaven will invite you to connect heaven and earth in your life. It’s what you were born to do. Peter walked on water, a gravitational impossibility – unless it wasn’t. He joined Jesus in another reality, walked in heaven on earth for a few moments, then began a transformation into his true identity. It’s all connected, and you, too, must reclaim and walk in your heaven-and-earth bridging identity: your sonship.

Praise for The Gravity of Heaven:

"There is a big difference between hiding behind the bags like Saul (1 Sam. 10:22) and leaving your bags behind and joining the battle like David (1 Sam. 17:22). The difference is one knew who he was and whose he was was while the other hid in insecurity. The world is waiting for sons to stop hiding and be revealed (Rom. 8:19).
In his book The Gravity of Heaven, Brian gives a clarion call to rise up as sons and daughters and walk in our true identity. He not only challenges the readers to come out of hiding, he gives practical steps to follow that will help with the process of discovering our identity. The Gravity of Heaven is a book that both the mature believers and those new in the Kingdom of God will benefit greatly from."

"...who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."
I heard these words from a preacher on a stage in 2012. At that time, I was about three years into a journey to discover my identity in Christ. As a child, I had been abandoned by my parents and had grown up as an orphan. When I heard those words read, I immediately heard the Spirit say to me "Son, you are not abandoned anymore." He called me "son" and my life is now becoming. Few people I know have the ability to articulate this truth like Brian Sherman. In humility, through academic rigor and intimacy with the Spirit, Brian has created a work that is theologically sound and accessible. It has been an honor to hear him speak these truths and to know him as a man.

Growing up in the church, I have heard “Sons of God” many times. It’s always been a term used to remind people that we can make it because we are His. This book takes this term from simply “Christian-ese” to identity for both men and women. Brian does a remarkable job of laying out what it means to be a son of God and how it was God’s intention for us to carry that identity to steward the reality of heaven on this earth.
This book is so easy to read and understand. If you have been in the church for any amount of time, reading this book will put meat on the bones of who we are truly meant to be. If you have recently made the decision to make Jesus your Lord and Savior then this needs to be a handbook to help you understand who you really are.

I've watched Brian Sherman quietly grow, in service and spiritual maturity, into the very son he has presented in his latest book, The Gravity of Heaven. The depth of his research and revelation of God the Father's original intention for creation is profoundly displayed on every page. His clarity of research in scripture and the works of other authors have shown his respect and honor of great fathers of our faith that have gone before us. He continues to right the wrong thinking about our Father and Jesus' desire to bring "many sons unto glory", which is our highest call. With this book in hand, you have a resource that will guide you like a roadmap to the real you that you so deeply desire to be. This book will convict, persuade, and challenge you to take action by letting Jesus show you, through prayer, how to be the son of God he has destined you to be.

The secret to becoming a great father is to first learn how to become a great son. In his book, The Gravity of Heaven, Walking in the Reality of Sonship, Brian Sherman captures the keys of one of the most important principles in the Bible, Sonship vs. Slavery. Slaves are motivated by a fear of punishment, or a hope of reward, while sons are motivated by the love and acceptance of a benevolent Heavenly Father. A Slavery mentality greatly distorts our view of God and others. Brian Sherman rightly draws the sharp contrast between these two very different mentalities. He also shows us how that an accurate perception of spiritual truths can greatly depend on our understanding of our true identity as beloved sons. I highly recommend The Gravity of Heaven, Walking in the Reality of Sonship as a must-read.

Brian keys on the a truism that to be a good father, you must first be a good son. Brian has really captured the essence and expression of what it means to be a son and daughter of God. His personal experiences along with Biblical examples help the reader connect to the deep call in everyone of us that desires to hear, 'this is my son in whom I’m well pleased.'

Christianity is all about identity transformation. Darkness to light, broken to whole, and damned to destined. With transparency, authenticity, and revelation, Brian unwraps the gold of sonship, and, by the Spirit, opens the door to that unique relationship we have as children of God.

Brian is the real deal! This new book of his on Sonship contains biblical insight for walking in a healthy relationship as a son, with our Father. Brian’s insights and practical observations will help accelerate anyone on their journey into Sonship as he skillfully helps reshape our thinking in this area. Pastors, leaders, and all believers alike should make this book a part of their library and their journey as they pursue true intimacy, and sonship with the Father. Personally, I believe what’s missing in our culture today is that we have a generation of fathers that never learned what it is to be a true son, walking in relationship with a healthy father. I love the way Brian opens scripture up and points to things that we normally just read past. For example, in my words, our journey from self to Sonship! Something that seems so small, but yet can keep us from walking in our true identity as a much loved son of the Most High God. Please read and open yourself up to be transformed by the revelation in these pages. You will not be disappointed!
