By Tim Stevenson

Businessman Daniel Mathewson discovers that the way we conduct ourselves daily determines how we experience eternity. Thinking he is beginning just another day, he encounters The Day: the rapture of the church. Escorted by his guardian angel into the heavenly realm, Dan observes the wonders of Heaven, talks with angels, and learns to see life from a totally new perspective.

The first order of business is The Bema, the Judgment Seat of Christ. Millions of saints from every era and nation stand individually before Christ to be evaluated. While all possess eternal life in Christ, they receive different rewards and degrees of glory.

When Daniel appears before the Bema, the Lord gives him truly accurate self-knowledge for the first time in his life. More than anything else, Daniel longs to hear the words, "Well done, good and faithful servant." But, has his life earned that supreme reward?

The certainty of this day of reckoning has profound implications for the way believers should live here and now. The Bema presents this biblical truth in a stimulating, interesting, and understandable way, and helps Christians focus on living in the light of The Day rather than merely for today.

"Tim Stevenson…has written a story from his heart so powerful you will want to read it in one sitting." Pete Briscoe, Senior Pastor Bent Tree Bible Fellowship, Carrollton, Texas

"Through the agency of one man's realistic life story, The Bema paints a vivid and plausible picture of what it will be like when we all stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ. It is a gripping, relevant, and challenging read." David Dolan Author, Lecturer CBS News Radio Reporter, Jerusalem
