I'm so thankful that I picked up this book and read it! Every chapter moved me to tears. It created an excitement in me for new Earth like I've never experienced before. Out humbled me to think on God's great love and how he has promised that he will dwell with us once again. It created repentance in my heart for the times that I have refused to sacrifice my own desires while I'm here in this broken world when God has told me what I have to look forward to. I would definitely encourage any believer to read this book. It will encourage and strengthen your faith.
Hmm...I agree with some of the reviews in that the author encourages you to view eternity positively,but...
It would seem to me he is more concerned with a "paradise earth" than heaven. Indeed at one point, he says that,"Heaven is not as good as it gets..." and that "Heaven is not our final destination"(chapter 2) At the end of that chapter he says," what an amazing indication of the beauty of the new creation:it's better than heaven. This is the future of our world." Don't think I can agree with this in the light of scripture. If you hadn't asked me for this review, I intended getting in touch anyway... Would appreciate your feedback on this.
I really enjoyed reading this book. I found Stephen's style engaging and clear and thus finished "Eternity Changes Everything" in a single sitting! I am certainly guilty of forgetting the imminent reality of our certain eternity and at times not being restless enough for meeting Christ face to face. This book got me excited again about meeting Christ and the wonderful future we have in Him.
