Rapture
Author: Craig Plants
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781937756741
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The rapture is one of the greatest mysteries of the Bible--a dramatic prophecy that could be fulfilled at any moment, without warning. Within the evangelical church today, many teach that the rapture of the church by Jesus Christ will take place before the start of the great tribulation. But what if that teaching is wrong? What if the rapture comes later? Craig Plants visits a concept rarely taught or acknowledged by the church. In Rapture: Delayed?, Plants shares his interpretation of events preceding Christ's return and references a multitude of scripture, while following a chronological timeline of the end times and the return of Christ as outlined in the Bible. Included are the signs of Christ's return, the rise of antichrist, his mark, exploration of a plausible example of a strong delusion as described in 2 Thessalonians that will trick multitudes into worshipping the antichrist, the difficult topic of children during the end times, the segregation and protection of the Jewish nation, and, finally, the timeline for the end.

A River Runs through It and Other Stories
Author: Norman MacLean
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022647223X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
The New York Times–bestselling classic set amid the mountains and streams of early twentieth-century Montana, “as beautiful as anything in Thoreau or Hemingway” (Chicago Tribune). When Norman Maclean sent the manuscript of A River Runs Through It and Other Stories to New York publishers, he received a slew of rejections. One editor, so the story goes, replied, “it has trees in it.” Today, the title novella is recognized as one of the great American tales of the twentieth century, and Maclean as one of the most beloved writers of our time. The finely distilled product of a long life of often surprising rapture—for fly-fishing, for the woods, for the interlocked beauty of life and art—A River Runs Through It has established itself as a classic of the American West filled with beautiful prose and understated emotional insights. Based on Maclean’s own experiences as a young man, the book’s two novellas and short story are set in the small towns and mountains of western Montana. It is a world populated with drunks, loggers, card sharks, and whores, but also one rich in the pleasures of fly-fishing, logging, cribbage, and family. By turns raunchy and elegiac, these superb tales express, in Maclean’s own words, “a little of the love I have for the earth as it goes by.” “Maclean’s book—acerbic, laconic, deadpan—rings out of a rich American tradition that includes Mark Twain, Kin Hubbard, Richard Bissell, Jean Shepherd, and Nelson Algren.” —New York Times Book Review Includes a new foreword by Robert Redford, director of the Academy Award–winning film adaptation
