Summary
David Gibson, a pastor in the UK, tells us that keeping the end of our lives in mind shapes how we live our lives in the here and now. Living life backward means taking the one thing in our future that is certain—death—and letting that inform our journey before we get there. Looking to the book of Ecclesiastes for wisdom, the book was written to shake up our expectations and priorities for what it means to live wisely, generously, and faithfully for God’s glory and the good of his world.
