Book Recommendation
We have come to an interesting section in the Book of Luke where Christ tells a couple of parables that include money. What is interesting is how money is involved in so many aspects of life. I find this true when I counsel people as well. Money ends up being the root issue much of the time. Perhaps this is the reason Jesus spent more time talking about this subject than any other.
I selected Randy Alcorn’s book, Managing God’s Money, this month not only because it ties into our topic, but also because it is an excellent resource on how we use the riches that God has so generously given to us. I know you will find this a helpful aid in managing the money that God has entrusted to you for eternal purposes.
The afterlife seems like the great unknown. Human imagination and Hollywood have come up with many speculations about what lies beyond. How can we set aside the misconceptions and find the truth?
What are the straightforward, biblical answers everyone needs to know about heaven, hell, and the afterlife? Mike Fabarez examines 10 faulty beliefs that are surprisingly widespread—and look to God’s Word alone for the facts. You will find the truth about common misperceptions like:
- When I die, I’ll go to sleep until the resurrection
- On my way to heaven I’ll have to put in some time in purgatory
- Heaven will be boring with very little to do
You don’t need to guess about the future—God’s Word is ready to inform your mind and settle your heart. Let this book guide you toward a deeper joy, faith, and understanding of eternity.
