 “Setting the Stage for Eternity is ‘must reading’ for everyone who longs to reach their God-designed potential. Harlan Betz provides biblical insight into what the coming kingdom of Christ will be like, how to get there, and how to glorify God in this life and throughout eternity. This book includes Basic Truths for those who long to know Christ and Ranger Training for those who long to reign with Christ. Anyone who reads this book will be inspired and challenged. Setting the Stage for Eternity is a life-changing book! I wholeheartedly endorse this book.” |

 “Harlan Betz reminds me that I am in a race. Not the super-competitive rat race of American acquisition and performance, but a race to invest my time and talents in opportunities for meaning and glory before the clock runs out. And he makes me want to win. With deeply biblical straight-talk, Betz “Sets the Stage for Eternity”, explaining the crowns and commendations, the overcoming and understanding of how it can be such a joy to become the person God longs for us to be. He helps us imagine the eternal rewards and deficits that flow from today’s choices in a way that torches our desire for Christ’s glory, not our own.” |

 “Harlan Betz has spent many years studying the divine revelation of the judgment seat of Christ in Scripture. This book is the fruit of that study and is one of the most thorough and biblical expositions of that subject available.” |

 “In this comprehensive work on believers’ rewards, Dr. Betz lays bare the sobering truth that in this life we are to weave the threads of time into the loom of eternity. Or to change the figure, when we get to heaven, all our cups will be full – but we will have different size cups! Where, when, and by whom this will be determined is the subject of this book” |

 “Challenging and inspirational! I appreciate the clear presentation of the Gospel. Regretfully, the Gospel has become a confused message in many of our fundamental churches today. Knowing and believing the Gospel is just the beginning of a delightful journey to all who give their lives to serve our wonderful Lord! Harlan has outlined this journey very well!” |

 “Here is a book that represents a lifetime of study on an altogether neglected subject: the Judgment Seat of Christ and the Christian’s Rewards. Simply written, well illustrated, and definite in its conclusions, any person will enjoy reading this book and will probably be convicted at the same time.” |
