Missionary statesman David Shibley presents Living as if Heaven Matters: Preparing Now for Eternity, an inspirational guide for Christians to making the most of one's opportunity to prepare for the hereafter. Living as if Heaven Matters discusses the rewards of heaven for those who have lived a life of service and surrender, as well as ways to avoid and cope with negative emotions that detract from one's ability to serve including burnout, bitterness, and obsession with minutia. The crux of Living as if Heaven Matters is embodied in a single, yet utterly pivotal question: What are you doing now that will still matter one hundred years from today, or even forever? "When heaven matters to us, the gospel will matter to us. When heaven is center stage, the gospel will be center stage. The essence of our message--Christ crucified and risen--will be restored to its rightful place of preeminence. I am sick at heart that it is increasingly possible to slip into many evangelical churches for weeks and never hear the gospel. If the pastors of these churches lived as if heaven matters, it should not be so." An unforgettable revival of Christianity's core teachings and message of service.
