Customer Reviews

In Light of Eternity - a must read!
This book is a must read. The five pages of Chapter 23 are worth the price of the book. It makes heaven, our real home, come alive. Full of very significant counsel on how to live "in light of eternity". A wonderful book for those who have terminal illnesses or who are dealing with the death of a friend or loved one. We gave out 20 to family members on the death of my mother in law. With the authors permission I quoted extensively from the book for a funeral message and had very positive feedback from those in attendance.

Thank Heavens It's Not All Harps and Clouds!
This is a non-fiction book you have a hard time putting down! I've always looked forward to heaven because I'll get to be with my Savior. But to be honest, the traditional view of standing around singing all day (and I love to sing!) didn't really appeal to me straight away. I always said, "Well, I'm sure I'll feel differently about that once I get there." In Light of Eternity uses scripture to show that heaven is more than praising God in song...it's praising Him with the continued work of our hands and hearts, it's fellowship with other citizens of the City Foursquare, it's community...all in the light of God's loving presence. "What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see!" And how much more significant the choices we make here on earth become, knowing that nothing is wasted. --Lisa Samson, author of The Church Ladies.

Read At Your Own Risk
This book had me reading a few lines and then staring into space because what I was reading was so profound that I could only read it in small doses, with intervals of digestion. I have a completely different view of my earthly life because of my new view of my eternal life. If you are a complacent Christian, one who takes salvation for granted, beware. This book will change you in ways that give you a new heart, new eyes and a new perspective on your future. You will not be the same. You will view the evening news and the headlines in your favorite newspaper from a totally different perspective - the one of Heaven. I will live with my Lord for ever. This life on earth and its cares are so fleeting and our purpose here gets lost in all our busyness. As a bride prepares for her marriage and a mother prepares for the birth of her child, the remainder of my life will be spent in preparation for my eternity. I pray to see you there. Oh that He would say "Well done . . . ."
