What if everything that most Christians believe about the "Great Tribulation" and the future that is awaiting the Church was wrong? Do you really know what the Bible teaches on this subject? Read as Dee Dee Warren carefully outlines an alternate perspective, and you just might find yourself in agreement.Endorsements"A preterist commentary on the Olivet Discourse like this one has been needed for a long time now. It's high time someone blazed the trail!"-J.P. Holding, Founder of Tekton Education and Apologetics Ministries, and author of The Mormon Defenders, The Impossible Faith, Shattering the Christ Myth, Trusting the New Testament, and Blowing the Doors Off. "Dee Dee Warren has written a handy book on Christian Eschatology that will surely add to the continued debate on the so called, 'end times.' With her usual no-stone-unturned style, I recommend this book as it invites the reader to wrestle with Warren's conclusions. It also serves as a handy historical reference work with an abundance of material from early Christianity."-Samuel M. Frost, Th. M. (Whitefield Theological Seminary), and author of Why I Left Full Preterism. Dee Dee Warren is a veteran of online theology debates where she cut her teeth and honed the arguments found in this book. Having formerly believed and defended the dispensational futurist view of Bible prophecy believed by many modern Christians, she has come to the position that the majority of what evangelical churches teach on this subject is mistaken. She claims no degrees or specialized training, only a love for the Word and a zeal to find out what the Bible really means by what it says, which is a calling for all believers.

"The wave of terror surrounding the Egyptian army rolled over the Israelites like a blanket of death. People and animals panicked and ran in all directions.

The young girl knelt down next to Zoe. "It's okay Lambie," she said reassuringly. "It'll be all right. Father will get us out of here, and we'll find you some nice grass." The little girl's trembling hands gave away what she was really feeling ..." The family vacation ends when catastrophe strikes. Zoe and her family start plummeting to certain death when their car tire explodes. Suddenly Zoe finds herself transported into the very pages of the Bible.

The author describes accurately the uncertainty new believers may feel as they explore their faith and try to make sense of the Bible's truths. How God used the author's frustrations to encourage his reading of the scriptures, to later help other believers, reveals that He will guide those who actively seek Him. This nonfiction book expounds on journeying through the Bible by studying areas of God's word where misguided, religious people will believe one interpretation, not realizing that it is not the right interpretation. It is clear that the author has read his Bible several times and spoken with people who have encouraged the wrong interpretations of scriptures. The author's pursuit to right the wrong teachings that readers have learned is to show that salvation comes from Jesus and God's grace, not from works. Blair TownleyEditor, Xulon Press

He escrito este libro, con la esperanza de que el lector pueda acercarse a nuestro Senor, Jesucristo, por ver, porque Jesucristo, es tan importante en nuestras vidas, y en la ultima instancia, lo que El ha hecho por nosotros por medio, de su sacrificio en la cruz. He tenido la vision de este libro, desde que era un pequeno, pero yo lo eche a un lado, y de mente tambien y me fui a traves de la vida, como todos los demas. Siempre oye esta voz pequena, que me decia, que yo tenia que escribir esta historia, que El me ha puesto en mi mente, pero asi, yo tontamente no escuchaba. Tengo muchos pecados cometidos contra Jesus, y, a veces incluso que yo soy la cabeza de todos los pecadores, y de todos mi companeros. Todo el tiempo, sin embargo, Jesus me estaba llamando, para volver a El. Yo me siento mas avergonzado, cuando me recuerdo de todos los errors que yo ha cometido en mi vida. Incluso, que despues de que me converti a la fe Cristiana, siempre hice cosas que yo no debia haber echo. Yo se que nunca sera sin pecado, mientras que estoy en este cuerpo de la carne, pero a la medida, al de mas tiempo que pasa, y pongo mas edad detras de mi, mas que en todo el tiempo, le pido a Dios, que me ayude para acercarme a Jesus. Yo estoy mas agradecido a Dios, por su misericordia, y del sacrificio de Jesus, en la cruz, por todos mis pecados, para que yo pueda regocijarme, y para unirme con ellos en el cielo. Aunque yo no lo merece, Jesus, pago el ultimo precio por todos mis pecados, y por mi salvacion, eso si es asegurada en El. A Dios, sea toda la Gloria eterna! inthebeginning57@gmail.com

This is one nerdy, American writer's small collection of his poetry, short stories and essays. (See About Me section for more on him.) Why should you care to read them? Why does anyone care about poetry and other literature? Because it speaks to the deep and important parts of us that make us human. Because we live in an age where anyone with something worth saying can be heard; an age in which knowledge has increased, but what about wisdom along with it? It is the purpose of this primer to showcase the author's level of skill as a wordsmith, in the hope that it will communicate the truths of life, and of the Author of life, in creative, refreshing, informative, and inspiring new ways to anyone in the market for such a thing. Is that you? Read on, and find out for yourself. Thank you, for your time. -Sincerely, E. R. Davis

America has experienced a dramatic change in its culture over the past fifty years. America was a nation founded on Christian values. Coming out of the Great Depression and World War II, America not only survived but was strengthened by its faith. America had a reverence for God, respected the Christian Church, and acknowledged the Bible as a source of wisdom and truth. But the 1960s brought about a significant change in the attitude of Americans towards many things, including the Church and Biblical morality. As a result, America has come to a place today that looks vastly different than it did fifty years ago. America has lost its respect for the Church. America now values personal choice above God's Word. And America continues to try and remove its Christian heritage and values from its culture. America has turned away from God. So how can the Christian Church in America turn America back to God? It won't be by the ballot box or by legislating moral behavior. For Christians to turn America around we must become counter-cultural and focus our lives on being disciples of Jesus Christ. We are strangers and aliens in America and must remain in the world but not of the world. Only when Christians focus on being the Church, sharing the gospel, and making disciples of Jesus, can the Holy Spirit use us to turn our nation back to God.

Unforeseen calamity strikes. Our attitude plummets, or suddenly a harmless pastime becomes a destructive habit. Overwhelmed by the consequences of a broken world, we look for someone or something to blame, while the real enemy lurks inside. We are all victims of a fierce battle that wages within our hearts. Could it be that we've lost our true identity in Jesus, only to find ourselves in a state of spiritual isolation? Author Bill Balbach takes an aerial shot of David and Saul's journey, providing an intuitive glimpse into the inner difficulties we all face as we try to free ourselves from selfish ambition and to give the full authority of our lives to Jesus. It's time for us to be honest with the enemy that lurks within us all-sin-as we let go of our self-will and embrace God's powerful will through Jesus.

Opal Singleton is President and CEO of Million Kids and Training and Outreach Coordinator for Riverside County Anti Human Trafficking Task Force.
