How to maintain a positive relationship with God in the face of adversity from others.

One day you will stand before God and give an account of your life. The most important question you can ask yourself now is, will you be ready? Most Christians know their response to the cross determines where they will spend eternity. But did you know that how you’ll spend eternity is determined by what you do in this life? God wants you to discover your calling—He’s not trying to keep you in the dark. In fact, He longs for you to find the meaning and purpose that comes with knowing why you’ve been placed on this earth. In Driven by Eternity, best-selling author John Bevere uses an eye-opening allegory and extensive Scripture to unveil how our daily choices shape our eternal existence. Life beyond the final breath is much more than a destination. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Discover your God-given destiny and make your life count both today and forever.

These days the terms good and God seem synonymous. We believe what’s generally accepted as good must be in line with God’s will. Generosity, humility, justice—good. Selfishness, arrogance, cruelty—evil. The distinction seems pretty straightforward. But is that all there is to it? If good is so obvious, why does the Bible say that we need discernment to recognize it? Good or God? isn’t another self-help message. This book will do more than ask you to change your behavior. It will empower you to engage with God on a level that will change every aspect of your life.

This study guide accompanies John Bevere's book, The Bait of Satan, and is designed for individuals or small groups who desire to identify the tactics of Satan and break free from his influences. Numerous interactice tools facilitate study.

This well loved writer effectively uses his personal mistakes to illustrate riveting truths about repentance and forgiveness. As he focuses on the true authority of God, he is careful to explain by example the important difference between "submission" and "obedience." The same struggle with divine authority is also represented through the lives of John the Baptist, the Apostle Paul, and other biblical figures. An especially helpful book for Christians who want to develop a serious pursuit of God.

In Drawing Near, John Bevere invites readers to explore a life of intimacy with God. Emphasizing the need for obedience, he urges us to practice-just as we would practice anything we hope to improve-our communication with the Holy Spirit. Understanding that prayer is a dialogue, not a monologue, Bevere encourages us to listen at the Father's feet. Study questions in each chapter offer opportunity for reflection, and a "How to draw near to God" section offers practical steps toward developing true intimacy with Him.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The enemy’s most deadly and deceptive trap is the offense trap. It severs relationships, widens the existing breaches between us, and handicaps us from fulfilling our full potential. #2 The Greek word skand-alon, which is used to describe the offense of Luke 17:1, originally referred to the part of the trap to which the bait was attached. It is used in the New Testament to describe an entrapment used by the enemy. #3 When we are offended, we fall into one of two categories: those who have been treated unjustly and those who believe they have been treated unjustly. The latter category is made up of people who have been wronged, but their understanding is darkened because their assumptions are inaccurate or their information is accurate but their conclusion is distorted. #4 The enemy keeps you in an offended state by keeping the offense hidden, cloaked with pride. Pride keeps you from admitting your true condition. It distorts your vision. You never change when you believe everything is fine.
