In an age when more and more people are concluding that life is pointless, Pastor Kent Crockett proclaims that -- in fact -- how we live our lives today is critically important for all time. Making Today Count for Eternity shows readers that choices we make every day on earth will affect what we'll be doing for all eternity. First, says Crockett, we're here to learn the basics of eternity -- through study of the Scriptures and fellowship with God and His people. Ultimately, God will examine our post-salvation labors to determine our eternal rank and rewards. Readers will never be the same once they see how -- by changing our lives now -- we can alter our assignments in heaven forever. Fresh, insightful, biblical!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book!!!
Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2003
I strongly recommend this book. He describes how one can put a smile on God's face by everyday actions. He addresses the assumption that people have that they must done something "big" to be significant by countering it with his premise that the small actions in life are actually the important things. The Scripture reference for his point is Colossians 3:23-24, "Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve." He writes that life on earth determines responsibilities in heaven and "the most important thing you can do is whatever God wants you to do at that moment" (p. 165).
This book motivates a person to be diligent in every task, realizing that nothing is insignificant.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Sequel to Prayer of Jabez
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2001
Kent Crockett takes a fresh approach to understanding how our earthly life has a direct bearing on our eternal life. A popular and generally accepted theological doctrine of "once saved, always saved," can lead to false assumptions. The author vividly points out that YES, with salvation, you have a guaranteed ticket to you final destination, but the question remains, what are you going to do when you arrive? Our earthly choices can make a significant difference.
Kent takes passages from the Bible and explains in easy to understand illustrations how they use earthly examples to reflect heavenly models. He makes liberal use of the parables regarding how servants handled accountability and the master's response.
This book in not without humor. It is 166 pages of food for thought. There is plenty of meat to chew on, amusing side dishes, and dessert at the end. It is easy to digest, and I think most readers will want to go back for seconds.
The PRAYER OF JABEZ teaches us to ask for "opportunities" to serve the Lord. This book could well be the sequel to JABEZ. You can't read it and not be more conscious of the impact these opportunities can have on your eternal life. After reading the book, you can't help but measure your daily decisions in terms of eternal results.

5.0 out of 5 stars I HIGHLY recommend this beautiful book!
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2002
What a blessing from the Lord this book is! :) This book is so needed in our day. It's very encouraging and uplifting, and scripturally helps you to realize just how important our purpose and short time on earth are. God made each of us unique & special for a reason...and this life is our "opportunity for Christ", with many heavenly rewards. This book beautifully shows that whatever your position in life is...whether a homemaker or an engineer, etc..God will use you right where you are & with how He made you the way He did. :) Enjoy! I know you will! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars An Eternal View of Today
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2001
Kent Crockett has done a masterful job of showing how what we do every day counts for eternity. He gives us a glimpse of what Heaven will really be like and why we should strive to get there. He explains why even the most menial tasks count in God's economy and that those who are least here on Earth just might be those in charge in Heaven. This book really helped me put my life in perspective especially on those days when I feel what I'm doing is pretty worthless. I recomment this for everyone who is a Christian or curious about the faith. It just might give you the hope and joy that your are searching for in your life.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but not biblical
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2004
The reviews are right, it is a interesting book. However, we need to measure things accourding to the word of God . The author tries to justify that secular living as an equivelent to laboring in the kingdom of God. He states that a housewife who changes her baby's diaper is working just as hard in God's kingdom as a missionary in Africa. God's word does not state this, because it says:
"But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried CARETH for the THINGS that belong to the LORD, how he may PLEASE the LORD:But he that is married CARETH for the THINGS that are of the WORLD, how he may please his wife." 1Cor 7:32-33
Changing a diaper is exactly what it is: nothing more and nothing less. It has no eternal significance. The author should had focused on things that a busy housewife can do in God's kingdom, such as witnessing to her neighbors or holding bible studies in her home.
"And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest." Matt 9:35-38
Also, the author did not emphasis what we would be judge for at the bema. He should have stated that we would be judged for works done either by Spirit or flesh(see Gal 5).

5.0 out of 5 stars This book may be the best investment I have ever made...
Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2001
I thought Kent Crockett's first book was good, but "Making Today Count for Eternity" is really, really good. It is the best thing I have read in a really long time. I love the charts, especially "Verses We don't Like to Claim". I have heard the author speak, and this book captured his humor well. I was cracking up throughout the whole book. Every chapter was incredibly applicable to the struggles and questions I face every day. This book was a better investment than the best mutual fund!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great and REAL book
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2001
This book made me feel like I was important to God! Even me-a schoolteacher. I never dreamed that being a good teacher/friend/wife/daughter really mattered to God. Sure, I knew it, but I sure didn't feel it. It's nice to know that I can make God smile just by doing what I'm doing-if I'm doing my best for Him!
