Have you ever wondered why some suggest that the rapture is going to be after the Great Tribulation Period? Where would anyone get such an idea? In this study text, you will see a biblical basis for supporting a rapture that is post-trib (after the Great Tribulation). Very few people in the church today have ever heard teaching from this perspective. No matter what happens, we are not to worry. Our trust is to be in God. Whatever may come, we do not need to be caught off guard. This is not a salvation issue. However, learning this biblical perspective will help us to be more prepared and better able to understand what is happening if the rapture occurs at a different time than we have been taught or come to believe. If the rapture is before the Great Tribulation, no harm. If we are here during any of the Tribulation periods, things could get so hectic that there won't be time to go through a thorough teaching. Learning it now could mean a great deal. You will also go through the often mysterious and strange book of Revelation and become familiar with a great way to organize the material by the sequence of events instead of the chronological order of chapters. Come delve with me into this exciting end-time subject!

Though Isaac Preston has been battling depression nearly 17 years. he's landed a a new teaching position, his first steady paycheck in years. Despite the fact that good fortune is slowly creeping its way back into Isaac's life, it comes as no surprise that he clings to old habits, sitting alone at his desk, his brown bag lunch in front of him, pondering "what if" scenarios and second-guessing decisions made that altered his life forever. Living a blue-collar lifestyle was not what was supposed to happen. There'd been a time when the world was his oyster. Seventeen years earlier--the spring of 1995, to be exact --his wizardry on the basketball court had earned him the title, "Heir to the throne." He'd forged himself into an unstoppable force. But in the wake of the double murders in Brentwood, two converging stories would unfold in and around Los Angeles, one linked to events related to the O.J. trial, the other to the trials and tribulations of an up-and-coming scholastic basketball phenom. Many things were heating up at Isaac's school that year, including a pilot project designed to re-integrate youthful offenders back into a normal scholastic setting. What happened as a result caught everyone off guard and no one was prepared for the resulting turmoil and Random Acts of Mayhem.

Imagine for a moment God-a Supreme Being of your choice - is your neighbor! A good neighbor! Someone with whom you could share your deepest thoughts and feelings and know they would be understood and accepted. Someone with whom you could hold a conversation and not be worried your questions or answers would result in a frown or reflexive reply: "That us blasphemy-sacrilege!" Or the frequent childhood warning: "If you keep talking like that, you are going to go to hell!"Imagine you could knock on your neighbor's door and be greeted and welcomed by an image, essence, or being of your mind's own fashioning, saying: "Come in! Come in! I was expecting you!" Imagine God - a Supreme Being - as a neighbor! Imagine a neighbor whose grandeur and wisdom would encourage you to explore issues of life's meaning and purpose familiar to us all yet too often left unanswered, languishing, for fear that possible answers would be difficult to accept or disruptive to existing life routines.Your good neighbor would welcome your questions and answers, freeing you to ask others. Suppose, for example, you asked your good neighbor a question, and the good neighbor replied: "The answer is 'yes' and 'no'."Imagine an opportunity, free of life's conventional distractions, a place and a time for you to wonder without being told words stopping thought: "Right!" "Wrong!" "Take off your shoes, you are on holy ground."In this small volume, readers will find a collection of eleven on going conversations with God - a Supreme Being - not in a magnificent church, temple, or mosque, overwhelming in earthly splendor, but just an open door, a gentle voice, and a welcoming presence for exploring thought you have had on your mind for a long time. Knock, knock! " It's me again. Do you have a few minutes? I know the world is hectic and you are needed by many, but I won't take long.""Yes, yes, of course! Would you like some wine? Cheese? Wafers?" Imagine a good neighbor with a sense of humor to soften the moment, a neighbor understanding the importance of a smile, laughter, and humility without losing grace and dignity. If you have read these words, why not open the book and read more? It's ok! Keep the conversation going!
The reason for writing this book. It is on the basis of the word of God which is forever settled in heaven (Ps. 119:89). The Holy Spirit inspires it. The prophecy never came by the will of man, but Holy men of God spoke as the Holy Spirit moved them Ps 1:20-21. In this present era, the heart of men is failing them for fear. It is alarming how the world is in distress; perplexity, anxiety, and suicide are the streams that lead people today. I want to drive this idea home to everyone who reads this book. There is a better way because it takes the same effort to fear as to trust God, who has not given us a spirit of fear but power, love, and a sound mind.

This volume is a collection of scholarly, editorial, and personal commentaries (Chapters) on "schizophrenia" with special attention directed toward the consequences of "imprecision" in professional and scientific thought and practice because of our failure to accept "schizophrenia" is a construct. A construct is a term, word, concept subject to denotative and connotative semantic abuses and limitations.The reification of a construct in the absence of substantial research confirmation, leads to disorders in our professional and scientific thought and practice, which scholars have termed "epistemopathologies."This is the irony and the tragedy, as "schizophrenia" has acquired widespread acceptance and use as a medical/psychiatric/political diagnostic label. The label serves a mental health industry, but does little to explain or describe the etiology, expressions, and care of individuals assigned the "term."A central issue is the commitment to "reductionism" as a conceptual and methodological pillar for the "mental health industry." Reductionism is an ideology, legitimizing medical solutions for critical widespread social, political, economic, and moral problems.The ideology is apparent in the construct of "schizophrenia," where " utility" arguments for the continued medical diagnoses, treatments, and professional roles, deny issues of validity. This volume explores historical, conceptual, and cultural sources of our continuing use and abuse of the construct of "schizophrenia" as a questionable foundation for a mental health industry, perpetuating and tolerating "imprecision."
