For nineteen centuries and counting, the Church has been made to look like a joke in the eyes of the world as predictions of Christ's Second Coming or Return and other related end-time events have supposedly come and gone without fulfillment. This book offers a unique solution. Herein, the author analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of the four major views, discards their weaknesses, and synthesizes their strengths into one meaningful, coherent, and cogent view that is more Christ-honoring, Scripture-authenticating, and faith-validating than any one view in and of itself. The four views in order of their prominence today are: dispensational premillennialism, amillennialism, postmillennialism, and preterism.

This compelling new book addresses this most relevant question--What is Jesus like and doing today? The author first suggests that to get to know someone, anyone, it is important we learn about their past-what they were like and what they did. But what is more important is what they are like and doing today. Why so? It's because people change. Well, so has Jesus. Yet every week in churches around the world people gather to hear a story. For almost two thousand years that story has been told and retold. It's about a man named Jesus of Nazareth--his birth, life, death, and resurrection. It's been dubbed "the greatest story ever told." Make no mistake, that story is important--very important. It's about a real historical human being--the historical Jesus--Who walked, breathed, and left huge footprints in the sand of history and in the lives of countless billions ever since. But that story is also 2,000-year-old history He's not like that anymore This book unveils and lays out what Jesus, the contemporary Christ, is like and doing today. It also challenges its reader, throughout, and concludes by asking--Which Jesus will be the Jesus you now follow?

This book asks readers to ponder this tough and challenging question: Have we Christians been led astray by our own leaders; dumbed down in our theology by ideas, interpretations, teachings, doctrines of men, and traditions that will not stand up to an honest and sincere test of Scripture; and consequently drawn off target in the practice of our faith? The author, however, is not down on Christianity-just the opposite. He's down on what we have done to it. Inside its 266 pages John No, Ph.D., re-explores what really is authentic Christianity versus today's institutionalized and compromised versions that we've come to comfortably know and accept. In so doing, readers will discover that beliefs do have consequences. He maintains that this is why our modern-day versions pale in comparison with vibrancy and effectiveness of the Christianity that was preached, practiced, and perceived in the 1st century and turned that hostile world "upside down" (Acts 17:6 KJV). They also pale in contrast to the faith that brought our forefathers to America to found this country and establish its great institutions-most of which we moderns have given away to the ungodly crowd and without a fight. Bottom line is, we Christians are paying an awful price for our self-inflicted deficiencies. 18 key expos areas comprise this book's smorgasbord of relevant and significant topics, which have resulted in today's dumbed-down dilemma and substandard versions of the Christians faith. These expos areas are listed on the back cover

'End-of-the-world' ranting and ravings are, once again, parading across our paths. All humankind has and is paying a horrendous price for their ages-old trail of failed predictions. Nonetheless, many are wondering if this time could really be it. And the answer is, NO In this book you will discover why and how the God of divine perfection in the creation of the physical earth and cosmos is also the same God of divine perfection in the creation and fulfillment of his plan of redemption. That means the world He created is without end and "the end" the Bible consistently proclaims for the world came right on time; it's behind us not ahead of us; it's "last days" are past not present or future. This book presents and documents the scriptural and historical evidence. No gaps, no delays, no interruption of time frames, and no strained explanations are needed. All was fulfilled, precisely and chronologically, within human history and as prophesied centuries in advance. Truly, this is "the perfect ending" and great good news for the entire world. It's also the ultimate apologetic (defense) for the existence of God, the climax of the rest of the greatest story ever foretold, and is being proclaimed by this author and other Bible scholars as the basis for the next reformation of Christianity.
