Something different? Something better?\n\nFor Christians, perhaps the deepest expression of what we're waiting for is found in the phrase \"eternal life.\" But what is eternal life? Why do we want it? And how do we know if we have it?\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat This Book Reveals About Eternal Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nIn \u003ci\u003eEternity Is Now in Session\u003c\/i\u003e, bestselling author John Ortberg dispels the myth that eternal life is something way out in outer space that we can only hope to experience after we die--and that being saved is merely about meeting the minimal entrance requirements for getting into heaven. Instead, John unpacks the reality that the moment we trust Christ, we are initiated into \"eternal living\" with God as a here and now reality, one that will continue beyond our life on this earth.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eUnderstanding Jesus's Definition of Eternal Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nJesus defined eternal life just once, in John 17:3: \". . . that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.\" The kind of \"knowing God\" that is eternal life is an interactive relationship, not just an affirmation of certain facts about God. Once we begin the transformative journey of truly knowing God, we can start to experience His presence, favor, and resurrection power right here on this earth--in the details, tasks, and challenges of daily, ordinary life.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eExperience God's Presence in Daily Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nThis hardcover Christian book challenges conventional thinking about salvation and heaven. Rather than viewing eternal life as a distant future event, Ortberg presents a biblical framework for understanding how believers can experience God's transformative power in ordinary moments. Each chapter explores practical applications of Jesus's teachings, helping readers develop an interactive relationship with God that begins immediately upon trusting Christ.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nJohn Ortberg is a bestselling Christian author known for making complex theological concepts accessible and applicable to everyday life. His pastoral experience and biblical teaching expertise combine to create resources that strengthen faith and deepen spiritual understanding.\n\nAs you begin to know God this way, you'll realize each moment of your life is a vehicle to the eternity you've been longing for all along.","brand":"Tyndale Momentum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50681010946322,"sku":"9781496431646","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_ebc8afb8-9e38-4f82-bccd-3793c789971b.jpg?v=1733947494","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/eternity-is-now-in-session-a-radical-rediscovery-of-what-jesus-really-taught-about-salvation-eternity-and-getting-to-the-good-place-9781496431646","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
