Book Cover & Preview Text
Jesus likens the events leading up to His return, wars, earthquakes, famines and pestilences, to the beginning of birth pains. In other words, they will be the initial signs of a challenging time for the world and for the church. We can prepare for Jesus return with the same diligence and anticipation as a woman preparing for the birth of her baby. If we read and grow familiar with the Scriptural handbook that God has provided, we won't be surprised or overwhelmed by the 'labour process', as if some strange thing is happening to us!' (1 Peter 4:12) Instead, we'll be able to endure difficult times, looking forward with joy and anticipation to the awesome conclusion, 'the birth', the return of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

About the Book
“As a student at Bristol University I became aware of two things. The first was my own brokenness and complete inability to fix myself. The second was, similarly, the brokenness of the world and its inability to fix itself. Both needed redemption and both needed a saviour. Both were in denial if they thought they could muddle through without one! I was fortunate enough to meet Christians who could explain to me both God’s plan for my redemption through the cross, and His plan for the redemption of the world through the Second Coming.
Both of these theologies amazed me. Firstly, that God should know my deep need and provide the exact remedy through His unconditional love on the cross. Secondly, that He should recognise the brokenness of the world and teach us the detail of how its redemption would occur.”
This refreshing and revealing study takes you on a timely scriptural tour of the major landmarks that precede the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.About the Author
