The Believers' Eternal Rest

Book excerpt: Little thought is given these days to Heaven. What is given is often fanciful and fictitious. But the Bible has so much to say about the destiny of the Believer! In 1645, a pastor named Richard Baxter was told he had but six months to live. Alone and with nothing but his Bible, that faithful and godly man embarked upon a journey, seeking to discover all that he could about Heaven. While reprieved from death's pursuit for another thirty years, Richard's narrow escape produced a remarkable book: THE SAINTS' EVERLASTING REST. That book told the Bible's Truth about Jesus, the Gospel, and Heaven.John Gillespie has rewritten Richard Baxter's wonderful book for a new generation. THE BELIEVERS' ETERNAL REST is an interpretation, a paraphrase, of Baxter's original. The author has sought to be true to the original theology and spirit of Richard Baxter, while presenting his heart and discoveries in a new voice.In this book myths will be dispelled, truths will be discovered, and your heart for Jesus will be moved Heavenward.Welcome to a journey of more than a life-time. Welcome to a journey into Eternity.
