The Place We Long To Be
None of us will live forever, but when the end comes, then what? This little book wants to answer that question and more.
This is a very small volume that can be read in one sitting. It is Biblically based, and gives lots of answers for life after death. Dr. Evans addresses such questions as whether or not we will recognize each other in heaven, what we will do there, and what it will be like.
He makes it clear that Heaven is an actual place. Most importantly, he also tells us what we need to do to get to Heaven: trust Jesus, and ask him into our lives. There are many pages towards the back of the book devoted to making sure the reader knows how to be sure of going to Heaven. A portion of the book is also devoted to Hell, and, just like Heaven, it is a very real place.
The author, Dr. Tony Evans is a well-known Christian, and is the pastor and founder of a 10,000 member church in Dallas. He has a radio ministry heard in over 130 countries, and is the chaplain for the Dallas Mavericks.
Because Eternity is a small book, it is easy to read and re-read, as well as, thumb through looking for a specific topic. The author backs up his work with Biblical references. I did not draw the same conclusion as the author about the tree of life. However, as Dr. Evans states, there is only a “possible answer” for that question. This volume is easy to read, and encouraging. I recommend this 5-star book for anyone who wonders about life after death, has questions about Heaven, or is grieving the loss of someone.
The publisher has provided bookreadingtic with a complimentary copy of Eternity, through Moody Publishing for the purpose of review. I have not been compensated in any other manner.
