Book Description
The idea of "The Rapture" -- the return of Christ to rescue and deliver Christians off the earth -- is an extremely popular interpretation of the Bible's Book of Revelation and a jumping-off point for the best-selling "Left Behind" series of books. This interpretation, based on a psychology of fear and destruction, guides the daily acts of thousands if not millions of people worldwide. In The Rapture Exposed, Barbara Rossing argues that this script for the world's future is nothing more than a disingenuous distortion of the Bible. The truth, Rossing argues, is that Revelation offers a vision of God's healing love for the world. The Rapture Exposed reclaims Christianity from fundamentalists' destructive reading of the biblical story and back into God's beloved community.

The Rapture Timing Mystery
Author: Craig R Cordle
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1685175007
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 137
Book Description
Do the scriptures support a secret Rapture to rescue the Church before the tribulation of the last days, or do believers need to prepare to face a time of persecution that will test their faith? Many Christians have been taught that Jesus Christ will Rapture away believers from the earth before the tribulation of the last days. Many others believe the Church will go through the tribulation and meet Christ in the air at His Second Coming. How do faithful Christians arrive at different conclusions? This book takes a fresh look by weighing the biblical evidence to answer these questions about the Rapture. Lay aside what you have always heard and take an impartial look of what does the Bible really say or doesn’t say. You may be surprised at what you discover. The mystery surrounding the Rapture is explored by addressing six key questions in uncovering whether Christ’s return is marked by one event or two. The two most popular viewpoints, the pretribulation and posttribulation Rapture, will be contrasted in a fair and balanced study. Prepare yourself for what lies ahead for our world. Craig Cordle has spent over thirty-seven years in the teaching ministry with a passion in Bible end-time prophecy. His insight in this area and impartially on the subject provides a unique perspective in addressing questions concerning the Rapture. This book will serve as an invaluable guide in the debate of the timing of the Rapture. 2 2

The Leftovers
Author: Tom Perrotta
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1429989130
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
With heart, intelligence and a rare ability to illuminate the struggles inherent in ordinary lives, Tom Perrotta's The Leftovers—now adapted into an HBO series—is a startling, thought-provoking novel about love, connection and loss. What if—whoosh, right now, with no explanation—a number of us simply vanished? Would some of us collapse? Would others of us go on, one foot in front of the other, as we did before the world turned upside down? That's what the bewildered citizens of Mapleton, who lost many of their neighbors, friends and lovers in the event known as the Sudden Departure, have to figure out. Because nothing has been the same since it happened—not marriages, not friendships, not even the relationships between parents and children. Kevin Garvey, Mapleton's new mayor, wants to speed up the healing process, to bring a sense of renewed hope and purpose to his traumatized community. Kevin's own family has fallen apart in the wake of the disaster: his wife, Laurie, has left to join the Guilty Remnant, a homegrown cult whose members take a vow of silence; his son, Tom, is gone, too, dropping out of college to follow a sketchy prophet named Holy Wayne. Only Kevin's teenaged daughter, Jill, remains, and she's definitely not the sweet "A" student she used to be. Kevin wants to help her, but he's distracted by his growing relationship with Nora Durst, a woman who lost her entire family on October 14th and is still reeling from the tragedy, even as she struggles to move beyond it and make a new start.

Solving the Puzzling Mystery of the Rapture
Author: Tim L. Holcomb
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781687596970
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
"Solving the Puzzling Mystery of the Rapture" is a very easy to read book. I intend to use the whole Bible as the picture on a puzzle box. It is much easier to understand Bible prophecy if you study the Old and New Testament together. To many times people take one or two verses and try to form a doctrine . They get the puzzle pieces in the wrong places. If your view or my view do not fit the rest of scripture we need to rethink what we thought. God also hid gold nuggets all through the Bible he expects us to dig for them, he calls them mysteries. I hope that you have as much fun reading about these discoveries as I had in writing about them. The book is written in a spirit of love and not to attack those that may have a different opinion. Let us simply follow God's clues were they lead us.
