If you want to be part of a revolution, this book is a great place to start. You can make a difference - in the world, in your town, in your school, in your life. "The Revolution Devotional" helps you understand and develop character traits that will turn you into a revolutionary for God. No boring reading here - instead it's fast-paced and fun. Each day you'll read a verse of the Bible, then a short devotional about the character in that verse. There's additional Scripture for you to read if you want, plus a hilarious list relating to the day's topic. For example, on the topic of being different from the crowd, you might get this list: Seven Ways to Be Really Different and There's different... and there's really different. Here are seven ways to achieve the latter status: colour your eyebrows with purple Magic Marker(R); insist that people call you "Butterscotch"; wear bumper stickers on the back of your coat; declare yourself a "meat-arian" and argue for vegetable rights; talk only in Dr.;Seuss rhymes; at the lunch table, do play-by-play commentary for a game going on in your imagination; randomly blurt out the phrase, "Now that's what I'm talking about" - even when no one is talking.
What is heaven? What really happens when our days here on earth
come to an end?
Heaven is referred to by different names: "paradise, eternity, the
afterlife, the new Jerusalem, resurrection." Throughout the ages
Christians have wondered about it, longed for it, inquired into it,
meditated on it, preached about it, and written about it in poems
and songs. Some of these "wonderings" are gathered in this
remarkable collection of varied passages from Christians across the
centuries and from all walks of life. Brief biographies of the
contributors are also included, making this book a rich resource.
After reading "A Glimpse of Heaven," you will yearn for the
blessings of heaven.
""Not even the most learned philosopher or theologian knows what
it is going to be like. But there is one thing which the simplest
Christian knows -- it is going to be all right. Somewhere,
somewhen, somehow we who are worshiping God here will wake up to
see Him as He is, and face to face.""
-- John Baillie (1886-1960)
""What a pleasure is there in the heavenly kingdom, without fear
of death; and how lofty and perpetual a happiness with eternity of
living ""
-- Cyprian (200-258)
""The death incident is merely a passage from earth life, from the
womb that has contained you until now, into the marvelous newness
of heaven life.""
-- Joseph Bayly, Heaven, 1977
The Bible may only give us glimpses into eternity, but we can be
sure of one thing: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has
conceived what God has prepared for those who love him" (1
Corinthians 2:9). From the literary and poetic to the humorous and
scholarly, these classic and contemporary reflections offer a
glorious wide-angled view of heaven -- full of insight, truth,
hope, worship, and utter anticipation This book will focus on the
hope of every believer and will comfort every heart.
