The Bema
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 Tshe 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,

"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.
