BOOK REVIEWS DRIVEN BY ETERNITY By John Bevere, Messenger International This soul-searching book is the revised and expanded 10th anniversary edition by best-selling author, John Bevere, who probes the heart with the question, ‘What will your eternity look like?’ With an eye-opening allegory and extensive scripture, the author paints a vivid picture of the way our earthly lives shape our eternal existence. He encourages the reader to make life count today and forever. The truth is, our response to the cross doesn’t just determine where we’ll spend eternity. It also determines how we’ll spend it. Life beyond that final breath isn’t just about heaven or hell, but it is much more wonderful than that. The book includes pertinent discussion questions for group study.
