I to I

The shadow of eternity looms over the mind and heart of every reflective Christian. Amidst the constant demands, pressures, and uncertainties of the present world, how necessary it is that the one who knows Jesus Christ be focused on the eternal state and on preparation for that certain future? And yet, how difficult it is to compile all that Scripture says about heaven into a harmonious blend with the ethical and spiritual preparation necessary for the best enjoyment of that great hope.
In I to I, Louis Igou Hodges envisions a future context to draw together the various strands of biblical teaching regarding eternity. As he describes heaven from the perspective of a settled, glorified inhabitant, he places himself at the same point where every person will most certainly be one day. This glorified inhabitant describes the experiences of seeing prophecy fulfilled, enduring the Judgment Seat of Christ, and adjusting to life in the new heavens and the new earth.
A careful and reflective reading of this book ought to produce a paradigm shift in one's thinking, and should produce a transformation of the reader's values and goals. It ought to motivate the faithful reader to begin to lay up treasures in heaven, to use earthly resources to heavenly advantage, and to walk in such a way that he will hear His Master's, ""Well done, good and faithful servant.""
