This is a Christian book critics are favorably comparing with the "Left Behind" series about the end of the world. Author William S. Creed read the following biblical passage in the book of Matthew 24:24, "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." It indicates there shall be a great deception in the last days to which people of all religious beliefs shall set aside those beliefs and give themselves over. It is so convincing, so the passage indicates, that even Christians would follow, were it not for the Holy Spirit. What could be so a powerful deception that all men and women would do this? To cast aside beliefs they have held for thousands of years, beliefs their ancestors, families, and friends may have died for in the past--and still do today? This is subject of Creed's book, Comes The End. When down-on-his-luck reporter Andy Moore stumbles onto the story of his career, he quickly realizes that what everyone in the world believes to be a comet falling to earth is in fact something much more sinister. Moore blows the lid off a story the government has intended to keep secret: Another life force is hurtling toward the earth. Soon he is teamed up with his nemesis, fellow reporter Tommy "TJ" Jenkins, who along with Andy has been chosen to view the ships land. Questions began to rise in the minds of Andy and TJ as their stories develop. Are these beings from deep space, the long-awaited visitation from another world? Or are they from the depths of hell, masquerading as aliens? Is this the dawn of a new and wonderful era of humankind, or a seduction of men's mindsand souls into eternal hell? Is this the beginning of forever--or the beginning of the end?

Most people, at one time or another, have wondered about the End Times. When is this thing going to go down? What kind of crazy stuff can we expect before Christ returns? Do we need to rent some angel wings or know how to play the harp? But what if we have been asking the wrong questions all along? And, what if there was a question that could cut through all of the opinion and clutter and divisiveness of the End Times? In AND THEN THE END WILL COME! author and teacher Brandon Andress goes directly to the words of Jesus to pose an entirely different question Who are we becoming right now and who will we be if and when the world begins to come apart at the hinges? Combining his funny, charming, and heartfelt message with a knack for simplicity, you will ride a wave of emotions as Andress lays out the five things every follower (and potential follower) needs to know today about the End Times in order to make sense of an increasingly upside-down world. AND THEN THE END WILL COME! is for anyone who wants to reconnect to the larger story and narrative in which we live and breathe and who wants to rediscover the purpose for which we live today. This is the wake-up call every single person needs to hear!

Examine for yourself the historical context of your Christian faith as seen through first-century eyes, so you can clearly say with Paul, "May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Galatians 6:14).

Our current government is failing us - the poor most dramatically. Global market forces of information and capital are destroying the old top-down politics. If present trends are allowed to continue, America will stumble into a grim Cyber Future of community breakdown and spiraling inequality - a real-life nightmare reminiscent of the fiction of William Gibson. But James Pinkerton offers hope that we can yet create a prosperous, tolerant, and compassionate society for the next century. Radically streamlined government must be part of the answer, but such transformation must be balanced by a new paradigm of choice, empowerment, inclusiveness, and decentralization that leads to a new spirit of communitarian healing at the grassroots. Pinkerton brings his practical experience in electoral politics to a sharp yet constructive critique of both parties. He warns the rampaging Republicans against culture-war jihads, but he counsels Democrats that they are doomed if they can't break their Faustian bargain with bureaucracy. And if both parties fail, he adds, some new third-party political configuration is inevitable. On the eve of the 1996 elections, no book could be more timely than What Comes Next.

Did you know that the global church is only a few years away from fulfilling Jesus' command to "make disciples of every nation?" And that Jesus explicitly tied his return to the completion of that task?In And Then the End Will Come, Douglas Cobb, founder of the Finishing Fund, provides a front-line account of the effort to finish Jesus' Great Commission in our lifetimes. He also explores nine other clues that Jesus is coming soon, including?the approaching 2000-year anniversary of the resurrection?the regathering of Israel?and the prophecies of Daniel Chapter 12.He makes the case that the return of Christ is at hand-perhaps in the next year or two, perhaps a little later, but assuredly very soon. And he offers practical instruction about what it means to "live holy and godly lives" as we look for the coming of our Lord and King.If you're discouraged about the craziness you see in the world today, And Then the End Will Come will offer you hope for better things soon to come-things so great that the Bible says no one can imagine how awesome they will be.
