The Bema: A Story about the Judgment Seat of Christ

Businessman Daniel Mathewson discovers that the way we conduct ourselves daily determines how we experience eternity. Thinking he is beginning just another ordinary day, he encounters THE DAY: the rapture of the church into the heavenlies. Escorted by his guardian angel into the heavenly realm, Daniel observes the wonders of Heaven, talks with angels, and learns to see life from a totally new, Divine perspective. The first order of business is now the Bema, the Jugdment Seat of Jesus Christ. Millions of saints from every era and nation stand individually before Christ to be evaluated. While all possess eternal life and salvation in Christ, they receive different rewards and degrees of heavenly glory. When Daniel appears before the Bema Seat, the Lord gives him truly accurate self-knowledge for the first time in his life. More than anything else, Dan longs to hear the words "Well done, My good and faithful servant!" - But, has his life really earned that supreme reward? The certainty of this day of reckoning has profound implications for the way believers should live here and now. "The Bema" presents this eternal biblical truth in a stimulating, interesting, and understandable way, and helps Christians focus on living in the light of THE DAY rather than merely for today. Through the agency of one man's realistic life story, "The Bema" paints a vivid and plausible picture of what it will be like when we all stand before the Judgment Seat of Jesus Christ. It is a gripping, relevant, and challenging read. A story so powerful you will want to read it in one sitting.

The Bema provides an opportunity to refine your perspective of heaven. After reading the book I found myself thinking more about what God thinks about how I respond to things, what I say, how I treat other people and what is in store after I die. The book is fictional but parallels many things that are taught in the Bible about what we can expect in heaven. What an exciting adventure we have ahead of us. The Bemma is a very thought provoking piece of literature.

This is one of the best books that I have read in a long time. The author takes you captive from the beginning. You will not want to eat or sleep until you read the entire book. We, as believers, need to be reminded often that each daily decision will reap reward if we choose to "follow Christ" and listen to that "still small voice" that guides us through all trials and tribulations. Uriel is a delight and I truly believe that we each have our own "Uriel" watching over us. It is almost scary to think that even in our failures of the flesh that our guardians still watch over us and never leaves us. This is a MUST READ! I have been in the Christian book industry for years and I am not sure why I had not found this gem before. I will most definately keep this book on my book tables that I do for conferences.

The Bema is an eye opener. I love this book. I saw a play done that was basted on this book. That's where I got the book. I read this book and loved it.It's about this man who goes to Heaven in the Rapture, and while he's there he has to go before the Bema, the Judgment Seat of Christ and be judged for all that he did wile he was on the earth. Let me tell you when you read this book you get convicted. It makes you watch what you do and say. For everyone you do and say will be judged by God! And that's a good enough reason for me to watch what I do and say!This book can change your life. It's a good thrilling story, with a very, very, VERY, good morel to it! Get it, Read it, and let it make you think twice about your life and the way your living it!!!READ IT!!!

You will want to read this book in one sitting; you won't be able to put it down. White knuckle ride from the rapture of the Church to the believer's judgment -- The Bema. You've read the Left Behind books, and they leave you wondering what you as a Christian will be doing in heaven while the Tribulation is going on on earth. This is the story of one man, Daniel Matthewson, and his journey to the Bema -- conversations with his guardian angel, meeting Christains who have lived throughout history, and facing Jesus to get His perspective of Dan's life. Very well written, easy to read and understand. Super twists at the end.
