THE DAY OF THE LORD is an essential book for those who seek an understanding of the actual Old and New Testament prophecies on the end times. This book explores what the Bible actually says about God's plan for the end of this world and the beginning of the next. Most books on end times prophecy gives the author's opinion of what he or she thinks the Bible says about the future. This book highlights the actual prophetic passages with over 300 quotations from scripture. The author's comments are given to help the reader understand how the quotations relate to a specific end times event and where each event fits in the overall timeline of the future revealed in the Bible. The major events of unfulfilled prophecy are chronologically arranged in sixteen chapters containing extensive quotations of the relevant passages on each topic. The focal point of this handbook on end times prophecy is the Word of God, not the opinions of men. It contains quotations in context from 26 different books of the Bible, and an end times chart showing the timing for each event. Each chapter is followed by thought-provoking review questions, making it an excellent guide for a group end times Bible study. For students of end times prophecy, there are many surprises in the quoted passages. People who have not studied end times prophecy will find this book explains the prophetic passages in a very understandable way, as the quoted prophecies reveal the wonderful and exciting future God has planned for His children. Both groups will find this an indispensable reference for locating the important passages on each significant end times event and a valued addition to their library.

How did the Bible get its start? Where did its various writings come from, and why were they collected together as a single volume of religious "scripture"? What is the background to the individual writings, and what key themes run through them? In "Covenant Documents: Reading the Bible Again for the First Time," Wayne Brouwer helps us peek behind the familiar pages and find historical, literary and contextual information that bring new vibrancy to old words. Beginning with the premise that the internal testimony of the Bible's earliest chapters assumes a formative event between Israel and its God, Brouwer shows how the various writings fit patterns of ancient covenant documents. Launching from this fascinating history, he provides background information, literary structure and style, and cultural dynamics that enliven the reading and rereading of the most famous book in the world. Part introduction, part overview, part handbook, "Covenant Documents" serves as a great textbook for introductory courses in biblical literature and Christian doctrine. It also functions as a sourcebook for pastors and teachers, and even a guide for Bible study groups.

He is also on the faculty of Western Theological Seminary, which is in Holland, Michigan as well.
