Heavenly Crowns

A CROWN THAT WILL NOT FADE Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. I Corinthians 9:25 Beyond the fading glory of earthly crowns and rewards lies an eternal glory of heavenly crowns. This book is a celebration of the rewards of living for Christ, and a call to become more Christ-like in the choices we make in this lifetime. Heavenly Crowns shows how God's glory is revealed in the way we live our earthly lives. Once crowned as an American beauty, Heather Whitestone McCallum now shares stories from her own life and reflects on the splendor of the many crowns God has in store for those who love him and follow in his footsteps. Some of them include: * The incorruptible crown, given to those who master the old nature through spiritual disciplines * The crown of rejoicing, given to those who win souls for Christ * The crown of life, given to those who successfully endure temptation * The crown of righteousness, given to those who look for Christ's appearing * The crown of glory, given to faithful preachers and teachers This beautiful gift book is written for every woman who still carries a little girl's dream of being a princess . . . and for every man who still carries a little boy's dream of being a hero.
