Book Description
What does it mean when a band is judged by how hard they pray rather than how hard they rock? Would Jesus buy "Jesus junk" or wear "witness wear"? What do Christian skate parks, raves, and romance novels say about evangelicalism -- and America? Daniel Radosh went searching for the answers and reached some surprising conclusions. Written with the perfect blend of amusement and respect, Rapture Ready! is an insightful, entertaining, and deeply weird journey through the often hidden world of Christian pop culture. This vast and influential subculture -- a $7 billion industry and growing -- can no longer be ignored by those who want to understand the social, spiritual, and political aspirations of evangelical Christians. In eighteen cities and towns throughout thirteen states -- from the Bible Belt to the outskirts of Hollywood -- Radosh encounters a fascinating cast of characters, including Bibleman, the Caped Christian; Rob Adonis, the founder and star of Ultimate Christian Wrestling; Ken Ham, the nation's leading prophet of creationism; and Jay Bakker, the son of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, and pastor of his own liberal, punk rock church. From Christian music festivals and theme parks to Passion plays and comedy nights, Radosh combines gonzo reporting with a keen eye for detail and just the right touch of wit. Rapture Ready! is a revealing survey of a parallel universe and a unique perspective on one of America's most important social movements.

Book Description
"And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark ..." (Luke 17:26-27). Who was getting married? Fallen angels and human women. The DNA of mankind was being attacked by Satan. The battle of the ages had begun in response to the command of God in Genesis 3:15, that the Seed of the woman would bruise Satan's head. - Could it be that, as it was in the days of Noah, the DNA of mankind will once again be attacked, and the Mark of the Beast will be integrated into the bones of humans, changing the DNA of each person, so that they will no longer be 100% human? - Is this why all who take the Mark of the Beast will be assigned to Hell? - Will the Rapture of the Church be a "poofing" out of here, or could it be the biggest test of your faith? The answers to these and many other questions, along with deep spiritual insights, are to be found in this book.

Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
When people keep turning their backs on God, they eventually become so wicked that He stops pleading for them to repent. Their hearts and minds simply can't be returned to Him. Soon after that point, His judgment begins.Thankfully, Christians have a God-given, spiritual gift of being able to discern the signs indicating how soon that judgment might be. So, it's up to believers to step up and shoulder the responsibility of being "watchmen on the wall" during these confusing and troubling times.Discerners: Analyzing Converging Prophetic Signs for the End of Days does just that.In this book, eighteen authors - including noted broadcasters, teachers, and Bible scholars - tackle issues that are critical for this generation of believers to understand. Each contributor examines, under the microscope of Scripture, a specific topic, from anti-God movements within religion and culture to satanic geopolitical rearrangements. This, we believe, will help make understandable the madness taking place in this generation.Discerners helps shine Heaven's light on these strange but exciting times so near when Jesus will step out on the clouds of glory and call all who are born again to Himself (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).Authors include Todd Strandberg, Dr. Larry Spargimino, Don McGee, Jeff Kinley, Nathan Jones, Daymond Duck, Tom Hughes, Phillip Goodman, Grant Phillips, Jim Fletcher, Bill Salus, Pete Garcia, Gary Stearman, Ryan Pitterson, Jan Markell, Tim Cameron, and Dr. David Reagan.What I say unto you, I say unto all, Watch.
