The book The Country I Love Best, by the renowned Canadian pastor, missionary, and author Oswald J. Smith, is a deeply inspiring work dedicated to the subject of Heaven and eternal life. The author, who traveled extensively throughout the world, begins with a personal comparison: although he witnessed many natural wonders and encountered diverse peoples, no earthly place can compare to his true, heavenly homeland. Through a simple, warm, and prophetically inspired style, Smith describes Heaven not as an abstract or dull concept, but as a real place—free from suffering, illness, tears, sin, and death. He places special emphasis on comforting those who are grieving, reminding them that believers who have passed away have not ceased to exist; rather, they live in the presence of Christ, awaiting a joyful reunion with their loved ones. Ultimately, the book’s central message remains an evangelical call: the path to this most cherished land is open to everyone through personal faith in Jesus Christ. The work serves as a powerful encouragement for believers to set their minds on eternal values, while extending an urgent call to repentance to those who have not yet turned to God, so that they might not miss out on an eternity in His presence.
