Driven by Eternity

Just completed reading book of the abovementioned title by John Bevere. It's very readable and with his usual style of writing he peppers his message with stories and personal anecdotes.  One difference about this book compared with his other writings is that he uses parables to convey his teaching.  The Kingdom of Affabel serves to highlight the kind of personalities that would ultimately get their just reward or punishment at the end.  For those who would like to know the distinction between the millennial reign and the time of the new heaven and earth, Bevere writes with compelling evidence as to how they are to be panned out.  In the appendix, there is a list of Scriptures detailing the rewards awaiting saints for their works done on earth.

The concept of eternity is explained in the beginning and how our limited time on earth pales in comparison with it. The key message is that all of us should be driven (or motivated) in our actions and attitudes toward the goal of meeting our Creator in eternity unashamed.  One clear thought that struck me as I read the book was that if we fail to fulfill the plans and purposes God has for our lives, He would bypass us and choose someone else to do the job.   There is a chapter on Heaven and Bevere quotes a real life story of someone who died and went to heaven and back again to tell his story.

I believe this book would help you set your bearing in life and make your life count for all eternity. I particularly like the chapter on Multiplication and how it has implications on us as we impact and influence lives through the generations.
