Foundations for Eternal Life: Things We Know, Things We Do, Things God Does

Thomas Edel

Thomas Edel, 2013 - Religion - 138 pages

This is the first edition. A second edition with minor updates was published in 2021. The second edition looks similar, with the same chapter titles and formatting.

What truths do you live by? Do you have solid spiritual foundations? Or, are your foundations rather shaky? What will happen to you after your life is over? Do you have eternal life? How does someone get eternal life? Come and explore some time-tested truths and see if your foundations can be strengthened! 

The purpose of this book is not to present new insight, but rather to present old truths in a clear way that is easy to understand.

This book covers many topics. Other authors have written whole books on topics which are covered here in just a couple pages. Don’t expect exhaustive coverage of any topic; but do expect a lot to be covered in a few pages. 

How are your foundations doing?
