Many Christians think of end times prophecy as a gigantic, intimidating puzzle -- difficult to piece together and impossible to figure out. But every puzzle can be solved if you approach it the right way. Paul Benware compares prophecy to a picture puzzle. Putting the edge pieces together first builds the 'framework' that makes it easier to fit the other pieces in their place. According to Benware, the framework for eschatology is the biblical covenants. He begins his comprehensive survey by explaining the major covenants. Then he discusses several different interpretations of end times prophecy. Benware digs into the details of the Rapture, the Great Tribulation, the judgements and resurrections, and the millennial kingdom. But he also adds a unique, personal element to the study, answering questions as: -Why study bible prophecy? -What difference does it make if I'm premillenial or amillenial? If what the Bible says about the future puzzles you, Understanding End Times Prophecy will help you put together the pieces and see the big picture.

Nearly everybody got sick. They won't let us leave.' 'Everyone is sick? Who won't let you go?' Lucy pressed to Lewis's side, grasping his arm closely with both hands. 'The people in the yellow suits who came to help us; they put us in tents. All of Dafne's turkeys died, and then everybody got real sick.' 'God help us.' The Beginning of Sorrows, ER Webb's third novel in a series of six, finds the world on the brink of a global viral pandemic that threatens the lives of millions and the economic ruin of nations. The pandemic, introduced manually by a Russian bio-terrorist into two turkey farms in Israel in an attempt to eradicate the tiny nation, rapidly escapes the boundaries of Israel and spreads over the globe. World centers for disease control are caught flatfooted, with no hope of stemming the viral tide. While scientists race to contain the virus, a select team known as the Pallium Project make an astounding scientific discovery-a serendipitous breakthrough that relies upon the properties of nega-mass activity-which could prove to be the means to halt the spreading pestilence, and an opportunity to ease the rising tensions between the USA and Russia. The Beginning of Sorrows is another start-to-finish read from ER Webb as global events unfold with gripping tension. Is The Beginning of Sorrows the beginning of the end?

What the Person and Work of Jesus Really Means Christians, rightly called "people of the cross," look to Jesus's death and resurrection as the central points of his earthly mission. But in order to understand more fully the person and work of Christ, it's important for believers to fix their minds on his entire ministry—his life, death, resurrection, and ongoing ministry today—and not solely on his work on the cross. In Man of Sorrows, King of Glory, Jonty Rhodes uses the traditional roles of Jesus as prophet, priest, and king (often referred to as his "threefold office") to show how his whole life—in humiliation on earth and now exaltation in glory— is lived for us. As believers explore Jesus's life, death, resurrection, and ascension, they will develop a holistic portrait of the Messiah and a deeper appreciation for God's plan to reclaim sinners.

To win wide acceptance by the nations of the world, the old system must first be allowed to fail, bringing about a state of global chaos never before seen by mankind. Once desperation has taken the place of pride and hubris, humanity will beg for the proposed one-world empire led by the charismatic tech guru Lucius Alexander. The United States will fall without a single shot being fired. While still considered a sovereign nation under the new global charter, America is required to make some major adjustments in order to fit in. One of the mandatory changes comes in the form of oppressive firearms restrictions. Agent Stone is tasked with infiltrating a group of anti-government nationalists to monitor their activities in the wake of the new gun ban. But what he learns from the group while working undercover causes him to question if he is on the right side of the fight. The final world empire will demand absolute loyalty. Stone will have to make an impossible choice. If he chooses to ignore the information gleaned during his time undercover, he will violate his deepest personal convictions. However, if he turns his back on the Global Union, he'll put not only his own life on the line, but also those of his wife and son.
