Making very effective and visual use of allegory, Author Bevere walks us through the horror of the upcoming judgments and shatters our belief systems, using scriptures that instantly cut to the heart of the matter, balancing (from the author's point of view) the oft-revisited and unbalanced themes of love and grace, and forcing the reader to re-evaluate his relationship with God; which is, of course, his intended purpose.

Rarely has a book made such an impression on this reviewer's heart and mind, but in a very disturbing way.

In fact, upon reading Driven by Eternity, she had to wonder--if this is so, how can anyone be saved?

It brought back not-so-fond memories of the theology of works rather than that of salvation by faith. And though Author Bevere makes many good points regarding the believer's need to guard his heart and walk in obedience, repenting of sin and withholding nothing from his Lord, he makes it sound like all we have to do is 'just do it.'

The reality, however, is that it is only in an intimate relationship with a loving God and through his power that we can make right decisions and walk in obedience in the first place.

In fact, I believe this book could undermine the faith of those who are truly living for God, but are vulnerable, so it would be wise, while reading, to ask the Lord to reveal the truth.
