Publisher's Description
Want to see the future? It is brighter than you think. What we believe about tomorrow determines how we live today. As Christians debate how to faithfully engage with our rapidly changing world, our vision of the future has never been more important. But rather than providing a clear sense of purpose for our lives, popular Christian ideas about the future steal it from us by saying our work in the world, apart from ministry, has no eternal value. Is it any wonder why young adults are less interested in church, or why a culture desperate for meaning and hope dismisses our message? In Futureville, Skye Jethani offers us a vision-shifting glimpse of the world of tomorrow described in Scripture. He reveals how a biblical vision of the future can transform every person’s work with a sense of purpose and dignity today. Futureville is a smart, inspiring call to cultivate the order, beauty, and abundance that reflects the heart and vision of God for our world.

“My friend Skye has written another terrific book. This book won’t make you want to just think about what the world looks like, but how you’ll shape it. It’s about gains and losses and deciding to try rather than just watch. When our country’s leaders seek to plot a moral and cultural path into the future, one of the key people they look to is Skye Jethani. With Futureville, Skye illuminates a creative and practical way forward on some of the most challenging issues of our time. Don’t miss this book.”
“In his latest book, Skye Jethani brings refreshing clarity to a vital area of the biblical narrative too often ignored or misunderstood in the contemporary church. What does the Bible actually teach about the “end of all things?” What does our eternal future really look like? And how should that knowledge inform our lives today? Skye cuts through the clutter of historical baggage and pop-theological confusion to recapture a biblical vision for our work and our lives. Futureville is a wonderfully lucid, profoundly impacting work. I can’t imagine any believer not benefiting from this clarifying picture of our present reality—and eternal future—in the Kingdom of God.”
