Jakes, New York Times Best-selling Author & CEO of TDJ Enterprises --Bishop T.D. Jakes

"Driven by Eternity bravely tackles one of the great 'mysteries' of human existence... eternity. With the clarity and thoroughness that characterizes all his work, John Bevere examines the Bible's wisdom on the subject, inspiring his readers to live eternity-focused lives that extend beyond themselves." --Brian Houston, senior pastor of Hillsong Church--Brian Houston

"Driven by Eternity should be an annual read for every person who wants to build an eternal legacy and advance God's kingdom. With thorough biblical support, John challenges and inspires readers to make the most of their most precious resource--their time on earth--so they can have the greatest impact for eternity. This book is a contemporary classic!" --Chris Hodges, Senior Pastor, Church of the Highlands and author of Fresh Air and Four Cups --Chris Hodges

"Bestselling Christian author Bevere (The Bait of Satan; Good or God) turns his heart and pen to eternity. So many people, he says, live without heaven on their minds, yet eternity is planted in their hearts. His goal is to open readers' eyes to what awaits them: whether the end result will be horrible suffering or great joy, all will face God's judgment. Bevere uses the allegorical story of King Jalyn, his kingdom of Affabel, and the capital city of Endel and its inhabitants to help readers understand how life choices affect their eternal future. At first blush the allegory seems contrived, but Bevere adds depth to characters such as Double Life, Deceived and Charity. He is certain to offend some conservative evangelicals with his talk of visions and dreams . . . . Readers can't argue, however, with his knowledge of the Bible. Bevere urges Christians to get to work for God and asks tough questions about why some are not doing so. He doesn't sugarcoat his belief that heaven is imminent and that many people, Christian and not, are wasting their lives on useless pursuits and priorities. This book will linger long in the consciences and hearts of readers." --Publishers Weekly--Publishers Weekly
