Rehearsing for Heaven by Mark B. Reed is a fascinating, intriguing, informative and captivating read that will answer the important questions about eternal life and heaven. Author Mark B. Reed unravels the common lore surrounding heaven, enabling you to understand the purpose of creation, who you are, who God is and sheds light on the purpose of life here on this earth.

Through sound scriptural application, the mystery of heaven is revealed through clear and concise doctrine that answers crucial questions. Providing hope and inspiration for this life and the life hereafter, the author with his compelling scenarios and explanations will provide you with just some of the following:

A clear view of the majesty of heaven;
A deeper understanding and knowledge of the character of God;
A clear view of heaven’s values versus earthly temporal values;
The path to heaven;
Refocus your perspective about life here on earth;
Provide stability and hope for everyday life and a victorious future;
Reveal your destiny in God;
And much, much more.

“We choose to live for time or live for eternity”, states Reed (p. 108). I heard a pastor once say how sad it was that there were people on this earth just “existing.” Let this inspiring book bless you with the knowledge that life is not about just existing.

This book will re-focus your attention on preparing a life that is worthy of “heaven’s stage”, that is “unshakeable” and not perishable. Each one of us has a destiny that is predestined in God.

In this book, you will find that heaven is the ultimate goal of this life and that there is much more to living on this earth than just living. This book will help you realign your life according to heaven’s values. Life is the ”rehearsal for heaven”, come see why this is a true-to-life theme that cannot be overlooked.

This well written biblically based book will fill your heart with faith, increase your understanding and provide you with the life changing knowledge that will give you the tools to overcome life’s hurdles and find the victory that is yours through Christ.

Be prepared to take a journey filled with wise counsel that if received can be life changing and provide you with the keys to unlock life’s doors that will empower you to live a victorious, abundant life, while preparing you for eternity in heaven.

The Truth About Sin & The Price

Title: The Price
Author: Leon Newton

“The Price” is one of the most unique books that I have ever read. The book is a well-written one-act play that includes the dialogue of a handful of everyday characters. The setting is hell. The cast is Satan himself, an arrogant millionaire and a few other individuals that you might even know. All have been sent to hell for their differing sins and therefore, paid “The Price” of admission so to speak. The dialogue between Satan, the Millionaire and the inhabitants of hell will keep you thoroughly entertained, but will also keep you on the edge of your seat, to say the very least.

Author Leon Newton, in his play, “The Price” displays a thought provoking dialogue between the characters, which not only reveals the love, compassion and mercy of God, therefore bringing others to Christ through salvation, but also encourages one to consider their own salvation and walk with God.

Shedding light upon the darkness of mankind’s heart, the author continues the dialogue between the characters that will touch the heart and life of a person who wants real answers to real questions. Is there really a God? Who is He? What is the purpose of salvation and the forgiveness of sins? What does it mean to ask for forgiveness? What is repentance? What is the grace of God? How can we really know there is a God? All these questions are so masterfully answered throughout the play. This book is a delight to read.

This book is also a very powerful ministry tool, bringing conviction upon the reader, thereby having the potential of bringing many to Christ. The book ingeniously takes a look at the world in which we live in and the sins that so easily entangle us. Based upon a sound scriptural backdrop, God’s mercy, grace and love shine through and give glory to God while revealing the vital importance of a close walk with God and the grave consequences for not accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. The book explains throughout the dialogue, why there is a need for salvation and the forgiveness of sins and is crucial to all walks of life.

This work is a must read and a must share book. The play is perfect for youth groups and churches to perform. I encourage you to pick up a copy and read it for yourself. It will leave an indelible imprint on your soul and make you realize what exactly Christ has done by His finished work on the cross. May the salvation of God and the love of God never be taken for granted.

The Price belongs on the shelves of every bookstore, in churches everywhere and within the home of every believer seeking to share the love and redeeming passion of Christ with others.
