The Mansion

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:

'So beautiful, so true, so full of the Christmas spirit.' 

--Harper's New Monthly Magazine

“Every Christmas I read The Mansion by Henry van Dyke. It’s message always touches my heart.” 

-- Thomas S. Monson, former president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 

'An architect of happiness.'

 --Helen Keller

A classic similar to Dickens’ A Christmas Carol
