The book is designed to encourage us to have a long term outlook on life where we realize that this world is not all there is. So that we will be less obsessed with earthly concerns and more able to see things from God's standpoint.

Mark Buchanan likes to tell stories in his books. This book is no exception. His stories are often about people he knows but he also uses a lot of illusions, often from movies which make the book enjoyable and easy to read.

The book brings a fresh perspective on life on earth. When we know that this is not all there is, it helps when the things we must do are repetitive, uninspiring and pointless. Yet we remember that God is at work. ( )

better than Holy Wild, this book makes you long for heaven and eternity with intensity. ( )
