5.0 out of 5 stars This book has significantly changed where I seek reward!, April 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: This Was Your Life!: Preparing to Meet God Face to Face (Paperback)

This book should be read by every follower of Christ. It motivates the reader toward significant change. I wish I had this guide much earlier in my Christian walk. I would not have wasted so many years seeking man's approval and praise. I am now focused on working for Christ's honor and glory.

The authors guide the reader through a personal soul-searching exercise that peels away all self-deception until the individual's true core is exposed. Then, they guide the reader to an uplifting knowledge of how to truly follow Christ. The book is filled with practical instruction on how to change.

I have already given away ten copies to friends. After reading it, several have said to me, "This is exactly what I have been looking for!"

5.0 out of 5 stars What do you know about the Judgment Seat of Christ?, December 7, 2004

The answer is probably not enough. I heard an interview with Jamie Lash on the radio and was intrigued. Actually, I felt a certain fear & trepidation about reading the book, because I knew it would require a complete change of perspective & immediate action. Many people get laxidasical with the fact we are saved by grace and our works don't get us into heaven! That is true, but do our works matter--Yes, indeed! This book will help get a Christian past having mere "fire insurance," bur realizing we need to serve Christ everyday and we WILL be judged for our works while in the body. This will be a judgment of rewards or lack of rewards, but an extremely important judgment nonetheless. If you're considering buying the book, please do so, because it contains important truths not found in many other Christian books!

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it if you dare!!!, November 3, 1998

This review is from: This Was Your Life!: Preparing to Meet God Face to Face (Paperback)

The author had a vision of the Judgment Seat of Christ over 30 years ago and it shows! Not many have preached or written about this crucial-to-know topic from the Bible. Howard's thesis is that we're saved by grace, but judged by what we did with that grace here on earth. He backs up his views thoroughly from a plethora of scriptural references. No Christian can read this book and not be challenged to live a more responsible life for Christ. Every reader will want to evaluate their choices made here on earth in light of the account they will be required to give at the judgment seat.
