I thought this was a very important book. As with some other articles of his that I have read, he tends to over play his argument a bit, but in summary he thinks that we spend too much time thinking about heaven and not enough time living on earth. He posits (and I think there is a good bit of support for) the fact that there will be a new Heaven and Earth and that the resurrection will have us on the new Earth living and working for Christ without sin, as God originally intended. He suggests that the work we do now is actually practice for the future work and that we in a real and spiritual way will impact the new Earth by our work in this earth. This isn't a "works" issue, it is a following Christ's commandments because we love him issue. From what I have seen people often really like the theology at the beginning or the practical examples at the end, but often not both.

I liked it enough that have I bought three other copies to give to friends.
