Hardwired for Forever: How an Eternal Perspective Empowers You to Live Your Fullest Life Today

Bestselling author Paul David Tripp unpacks key biblical truths about eternity and shows you how to find purpose and hope for today in the eternal story God is writing in and through your life.

Why am I so unhappy? Why do the hardships of life rock me as much as they do? Why is my life less than I imagined it would be?

All of us want to believe we are living life in such a meaningful, mindful way that we are prepared for what is to come. But too often, we live with the unrealistic expectations and functional hopelessness that results when we say we believe in eternity yet live discouraged and unfulfilled, as if the life we're living today is all there is. And yet the truth is that living in light of eternity deeply impacts our relationships, our vocation, our family, our deepest struggles, and our greatest desires.

So how do we embrace a deeply needed eternity mindset?

With biblical wisdom and practical insights on how to live daily with eternity in mind, pastor and bestselling author Paul David Tripp helps you:

• Realize that this broken world can never satisfy the deepest longings of your soul • Live with something bigger in mind than this present moment's comfort, pleasure, and happiness • Understand the unshakable promise of the grace you can find in eternity and the hope it can give you amid the hardships you face now • Discover how to thrive in the middle of your story, with the final chapter of heaven in view

Living in light of eternity is more than a hope and a dream. It's more than a theological formulation. It's more than a distant spiritual expectation. It's a present reality that changes everything! Hardwired for Forever shows you how the Creator placed forever inside you and has everything you need to start living into that reality today.
