This book SHOULD "rock your world"


.....if it doesn't, something is frightfully wrong! I am about two thirds through and it has really "rocked mine"! Now, here is the disclaimer: Phil says "EVERYTHING I read "rocks my world." Not so: "The Shack" didn't, not after I found out it was all fiction.

I strongly urge anyone reading this blog to read this book. It MAY fly in the face of your theology but "oh, well". It is worth the investigation. (65 out of 76 critiques on Amazon rated it a five star. One of the three "one stars" was an atheist).

Is your life focused on the "here and now" and eternity seems dim and far away, READ THIS BOOK! John Bevere makes it a very tangible and eminant reality! Do you think going to heaven by "just making it inside the gate" is enough for you? READ THIS BOOK! You may change your opinion. Do you think you have eternal security while you are justifying habitual sin? You may be in for a more than rude awakening. READ THIS BOOK with your Bible in hand. Is developing an intimate relationship with the Lord Jesus not really something that gets you motivated to spend time in prayer and Bible study? Reading this book should help to motivate you. Are you selfish with your time and resources? Is it "all about you?" In Matthew the 25th chapter Jesus said to people who did all kinds of spiritual things and THOUGHT they were "IN" "Depart from me, I never knew you!" (And they were "toast") Do you seldom remember that those you rub shoulders with on a daily basis will spend eternity somewhere and may ask you in that time why you didn't tell them? Driven By Eternity gives real, bone chilling, hair raising accounts of eternal damnation but it also addresses eternal judgement and rewards for the saved.

A large part of the book is an allegory so if you are into "Lord of the Rings" kind of stuff, you will like it. I'm not, and the allegory is a little too easy to interpret and cheesy BUT get beyond that and be prepared to "hold on!". Read with your Bible in hand and be prepared to be sobered and infused with much GREATER passion to walk in the Light and serve the Lord!
