OVERVIEW
“Being in the presence of God should fill us with as much reverence as it does delight.” This is the opening salvo of Pastor Chris Davis’ new book on anticipating the return of Christ. Davis begins his discussion about eternity by reminding readers of the awe-inspiring (sometimes even fear-inspiring) power that is as elemental to God’s character as is His perfect love. He illustrates this balanced picture of God as He reveals Himself. Then Davis explains how an ever-increasing longing to be with our Lord forever has a direct impact on how we live this side of eternity.
The read is engaging and friendly. The tone is energetic and hope-filled. Davis lifts our eyes toward something far more amazing that lies beyond the discouragement and affliction of this broken world. For the true believer in Jesus Christ, this book is a needed shot of adrenaline. Highly recommended.
