Heaven may not be what you think it is. We often think of heaven in two extremes: It's either a dreamy existence where we float around on clouds with nothing much to do, or it's something far off in the future that we don't want to happen until we accomplish all that we want to in this life. Both of these are flat wrong, and Tony Evans looks to scripture to set the record straight. Simple and straight forward, Eternity is a short book on what eternity with God will really be like.

Whatever you might be facing today, you can take steps to prepare yourself for a rebound as you keep your eyes on the God who leads his imperfect people into a place of ultimate triumph.

In the age where people can get a "no-fault" divorce (When is it ever nobody's fault?) believers who claim to live by God's word cannot dodge the issue: we cannot skip it, run from it, or ignore it.

Cuando un hombre sigue los principios de la hombría bíblica, todos a su alrededor se benefician de su cuidado y de su liderazgo.
