Synopses & Reviews
Centuries ago the disciples asked Jesus to tell them the signs of His coming and when it would be. If the disciples wondered about these things in the first century, then we surely have reason to wonder in the twenty-first century. As we look at the instability in our world, the turmoil and the threat of terrorism, we can’t help but ask, “Are these the last days?”
Renowned pastor and evangelist Greg Laurie helps unravel some of the mystery surrounding end-times events as he examines what the Bible has to say about life in the last days and explores topics such as:
• Important signs of the last days
• The difference between the Rapture and the Second Coming
• Israel’s significance in end-times events
• America’s mysterious absence in Bible prophecy
• Life during the Tribulation period
Are These the Last Days? will help you take some of the guesswork out of understanding the last days and will encourage you to live confidently and expectantly in an uneasy and uncertain world.
Synopsis
As a hippie and drug user who had grown-up in a dysfunctional family, Greg Laurie knew what it was to be lost. A seventeen-year-old, long-haired Greg soon discovered his passion for seeing people rescued from hopelessness and transformed into renewed beings with a saving faith in Christ. Laurie quickly became a wonder and an example as to how God could use someone with a sordid past to impact the world with the gospel. Throughout Greg’s autobiography, be encouraged by the trials he overcame and the far-reaching impact these lessons have had. The Lord’s influence in Greg’s life has been thoroughly evidenced by the fruit seen from the ministries Greg has planted, watered and grown; namely, Harvest Christian Fellowship (one of the 8 largest churches in America) and the Harvest Crusades. Greg Laurie’s legacy has been seasoned with trials and questions, but if God can take a hippie from a severely dysfunctional family and raise him to be one of the nation’s leading evangelists and pastors, what can God do with you?
