"Are You Ready For Eternity?"

This is the theme of the new book,"Destined For Eternity" that has just been released by PublishAmerica. The book was co-authored by twin sisters, Rebecca Sundberg and Elizabeth Wiens.

(PRWEB) February 13, 2004 --"We wanted to challenge people's priorities and their search for happiness," says Elizabeth. "In our culture we often look to our big houses, money, and accumulation of things for fulfillment, but God is not concerned with those things. He looks at our hearts and at how we've touched the lives of those around us.We want to remind people to view life from an eternal perspective."

"Destined For Eternity" tells the story of Niki Bowers who suddenly finds herself on the verge of death. As she meets Romuel, the angel waiting to take her to heaven, she realizes that she is not ready to die and begs for a second chance. Romuel takes some time to show Niki how she had allowed earthly things to come between herself and God, taking her focus away from what was truly important. Meanwhile, Niki's husband, Jonathan, is left to face his own shortcomings and the possibility of losing his wife.

"I think a drawing feature of the story is the relationship Niki develops with the angel Romuel," states Rebecca. "We tried to paint the angel as a personal being who cares deeply for Niki. It comes out not only in his grief over some of the poor choices Niki makes, but also in his sense of humor. This concern is also expressed as Romuel returns to heaven to seek his Lord's advice."

"A well-written story dealing with the complexities of our world and our need to guard and maintain our first priority, which is to strengthen our own personal faith and be ready to share it with lost neighbors and friends."~ From the best selling author, Janette Oke.
