    About this ebook

    In the Shadow of Eternity will be remembered as a summary of Jeff Beacham’s final words to his family, friends and the body of Christ. This book provides a candid and transparent look at the stark realities of life through the eyes of a man who loves God, who loves life and who loves people; a man who trusts confidently in his God, no matter what; a man determined to finish his race well. Jeff does a masterful job depicting the framework of his life, culture and the many transitions experienced in his walk of faith. Rarely are we privileged to meet a man of such fire, passion, courage, covenant, commitment and hope. Jeff’s example is an encouragement to all to run their race well, to fulfill their call and destiny, no matter what!

      In the Shadow of Eternity - Jeff Beacham

      Preface

      Jeff Beacham is one of the most affable men of God I know. His easy-going style and ability to connect cross-culturally and trans-generationally have made him someone everyone wants to know in the Kingdom. In every sphere he has touched, he is reminiscent of how a lightning rod attracts lightning.

      Jeff has a phenomenal ability to attract and gather people to Christ and His Kingdom, and get them to fall in love with Jesus and His purpose in the earth. His rich history has made him the sum total of who he has become in Christ globally today.

      He has been graced to touch many of the great streams in God's River of Life that are flowing around the world. The word apostolic has many connotations in the current culture of the Church. One that I believe is essential that cannot afford to be overlooked is the reality that to be apostolic implies the ability to reproduce.

      Reproduction is at the core of everything from evangelism, discipleship, church-planting to leadership development. For the Church to truly be apostolic, it has to remain true to the apostolic Gospel revealed in the Scriptures with all the rich texture it includes, so that it can obtain the same results as revealed in the Book of Acts.

      In a day of oversimplification when it comes to theology, Jeff has stood as a pioneer, a thought leader, and a true apostolic father, moving in the generative power of the Holy Spirit to raise up a generation of those who will honor the faith once for all delivered to the saints. His integrity is a cherished strength that all of us who know him benefit from.

      All of us have to live life in the shadow of eternity. Certain things can touch our life unexpectedly and cause us to face extreme challenges that can obscure our vision of what is possible for us in God.

      Jeff has had to face a battle for life in the last few years, and yet his vision has not been obscured and his love for Christ, his commitment to the Gospel and to Christ’s Kingdom has only intensified. His ability to endure a fiery trial and not have even the smell of smoke has been an inspiration to us all.

      Each of us intended to leave a legacy behind for others to grown on. All of us have to be mindful of the words of the late C. T. Studd in his well-known poem, Only One Life.

      There are many verses to that well-known poem; however, I want to key in on one particular verse that to me speaks of the example of Jesus in the life of my friend, Jeff Beacham:

      'Give me Father, a purpose deep,

      In joy or sorrow Thy word to keep;

      Faithful and true what e’er the strife,

      Pleasing Thee in my daily life;

      Only one life, ’twill soon be past,

      Only what’s done for Christ will last.'

      Jeff has been on an adventure from his beginnings. The spirit of adventure is in his DNA and his family history. That adventurous, fiery spirit refuses to be quenched no matter what he faces.

      His star continues to burn brightly regardless of the challenges even at this season. He shines as a star with God's endless light in the radiance of Christ, and we are all the better because of it.

      A tome is a weighty, scholarly book. I would like to suggest that while the book you hold in your hands is a story, it too is a tome. It reveals the weightiness of God's glory and the scholarship of the Holy Spirit in the life of a unique and treasured man whom God has given as a gift to His Church.

      Dr. Mark Chironna, Church on the Living Edge, Mark Chironna Ministries, Orlando, Florida
