Now Available: The Book of Life

The Missouri Baptist Convention, through its High Street Press imprint, has just released The Book of Life: What the Bible Says about God's Registry of the Redeemed. Written by the MBC's Rob Phillips, the 450-page study explores the limited references to the book of life in Scripture and reveals that those whose names are entered there are shielded from the lake of fire and welcomed into New Jerusalem. The book is available at Amazon and other retailers.
