Eternal Crowns: Ruling & Reigning with Messiah We are excited to announce the release of Pastor Brandon Holthaus’ new book, Eternal Crowns: Ruling & Reigning with Messiah. This is a powerful resource for believers who want to understand the eternal rewards promised in Scripture and how our faithfulness today will echo into eternity. The Bible speaks of five crowns—the Crown of Life, Crown of Rejoicing, Crown of Righteousness, Crown of Glory, and the Imperishable Crown. These are not just symbolic honors; they are real rewards that grant believers the right to rule and reign with Christ during His Millennial Kingdom and throughout eternity in heaven. The Apostles Peter, John, and Paul all described these crowns and explained how they are earned. Pastor Brandon reminds us that every trial and difficulty we endure has a purpose. The struggles of life are not wasted; they refine us into the likeness of Christ and prepare us for the day we stand before Him. At the Bema Seat, the faithful will be rewarded—not for salvation, which is already secure in Christ, but for faithfulness, obedience, sacrifice, and perseverance in the Christian walk. In Eternal Crowns, Pastor Brandon unlocks the treasure room of heaven and explains what it means to earn eternal crowns and reign with Messiah. This book will challenge, encourage, and equip you to live with eternity in view and to endure with the hope of ruling alongside Christ. 📘 Eternal Crowns: Ruling & Reigning with Messiah is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and wherever books are sold. We pray it blesses you and strengthens your walk with the Lord as you live faithfully in these last days. 👉 Get your copy here
