What matters most in life? Is it about taking on a do what feels good today mindset, or is it about your thoughts and actions reflecting God’s kingdom and the example of Jesus Christ? Author John Mathew sees that life, and life after, should be about witnessing to others the love of God through Jesus Christ, which he discusses even more in his new book, An Encounter with Eternity. The collection of essays focus on improving the spiritual maturity of readers through the written word; expounding on who Jesus is, obtaining godly wisdom and raising up godly families. Living the Christian life, according to John, is about seeking spiritual enrichment from the biblical truths of Jesus, ministering to others of His sacrifice and resurrection. Other topics of consideration include essays on the dangers of believing media standards and other areas of spiritual warfare. What matters in life is following Jesus. Rev. Dr. John K.
