I’m completely thrilled by the truths expounded upon in this book. It gave me great understanding why Jesus came and why we are to have an eternal perspective as believers and it is revealed in this book clearly and concisely. He brings clarity to the often misunderstood topic of the Kingdom of God and eternal life. This book has life altering implications if taken to heart!

We are subjected to various views of the Kingdom of God and how it relates to the Church, Israel and the end times. There is much confusion as to what the Kingdom is, and when and where will it be. Ladd answers these critical questions. The chapters deal with 1. What is...
