Mike Fabarez
Book Recommendation
Too often we seek for answers in the wrong place. But as God’s creations, the only way to truly live the life that he desires for us is by embracing his wisdom.
This month I have selected the book The Wisdom of God by A.W. Tozer. Knowing and applying God’s wisdom will change your decisions, attitudes and relationships to live a better, God-pleasing life.
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.
