Product Description

In an age when more and more people are concluding that life is pointless, Pastor Kent Crockett proclaims that -- in fact -- how we live our lives today is critically important for all time. Making Today Count for Eternity shows readers that choices we make every day on earth will affect what we'll be doing for all eternity. First, says Crockett, we're here to learn the basics of eternity -- through study of the Scriptures and fellowship with God and His people. Ultimately, God will examine our post-salvation labors to determine our eternal rank and rewards. Readers will never be the same once they see how -- by changing our lives now -- we can alter our assignments in heaven forever. Fresh, insightful, biblical!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book!!!, July 24, 2003

By	Dr. W. G. Covington, Jr. (Edinboro, Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I strongly recommend this book. He describes how one can put a smile on God's face by everyday actions. He addresses the assumption that people have that they must done something "big" to be significant by countering it with his premise that the small actions in life are actually the important things. The Scripture reference for his point is Colossians 3:23-24, "Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve." He writes that life on earth determines responsibilities in heaven and "the most important thing you can do is whatever God wants you to do at that moment" (p. 165).
This book motivates a person to be diligent in every task, realizing that nothing is insignificant.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great and REAL book, July 2, 2001

By	BAL (Garden City, KS United States) - See all my reviews

This book made me feel like I was important to God! Even me-a schoolteacher. I never dreamed that being a good teacher/friend/wife/daughter really mattered to God. Sure, I knew it, but I sure didn't feel it. It's nice to know that I can make God smile just by doing what I'm doing-if I'm doing my best for Him!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book may be the best investment I have ever made..., June 29, 2001

By	Ronda Jameson (Texarkana, TX USA) - See all my reviews

I thought Kent Crockett's first book was good, but "Making Today Count for Eternity" is really, really good. It is the best thing I have read in a really long time. I love the charts, especially "Verses We don't Like to Claim". I have heard the author speak, and this book captured his humor well. I was cracking up throughout the whole book. Every chapter was incredibly applicable to the struggles and questions I face every day. This book was a better investment than the best mutual fund!
