Lord, When? looks at the Second Coming from a Scriptural point of view, while examining the questions, objections, and various views of the Tribulation period and the Rapture of the Church. As the world draws closer to the Second Coming of our Lord, it is more important than ever that all Christians understand what the Bible says about this crucial doctrine. Our greatest hope lies not in theories of inferences but in undeniable facts left by our Lord in His holy word about:The Seventh TrumpetThe Great ApostasyThe RestrainerThe AntichristThe Seventy Weeks of DanielThe 144,000 ServantsWith over twenty years of research and study of the end of times, author John J. Cobb brings a special and unique approach to these areas. He has taught four verse-by-verse expositional classes on the book of Revelation. His passion for scriptural clarity in eschatology has been the driving force behind Lord, When? Whether the information gathered is from him or other authors and experts in this area, Minister Cobb has taken great care to bring it all to bear against the backdrop of Holy Scripture-the final arbiter of all Christian doctrine.

During our lives, God often uses people who reach out in love and help to us during a difficult situation, as "Jesus with skin on." This assures us that our heavenly Father still is with us, caring for us and holding us close. In other situations, the Lord can use pets and other animals to accomplish the same goals. In this memoir, a very special gift from God came into my life as a starving, thirsty, flea-and-ear-mite-infested stray kitten. He grew into a handsome, affectionate big cat who became my "Jesus wrapped in fur." This kitty whom my husband had named Pinball was always there when I needed an extra touch of God''s love and presence during the darkest moments of the most difficult and challenging decade of my life. Pinball seemed to understand and share my feelings; he seemed to feel my pain. He grieved along with me and then often gave me reasons to chuckle and welcome the sunshine and joy once again. I am absolutely convinced that God himself placed Pinball into my life at exactly this moment when I most needed to know for certain that God still loves me, is always holding me close, and can bring me triumphantly through life''s deepest valleys as I hang on to His promises. A warm, soft, purring cat was a most comforting and healing medicine to soothe my broken heart and assure me that God is, indeed, good all the time, and I have grown stronger through all these experiences.

Is the Bible a humorous book? Probably most people wouldn''t think of it as being funny at all. Even as the Bible is regarded as the Word of God, we find considerable ungodly human activity, immorality, wars, rebellion, murder, adultery, demon possession, and just about every other facet of what we call the human condition. Yes, the Bible is full of some pretty serious and heavy stuff. In spite of all this, is there a remote possibility we might discover something amusing, something to bring a smile on our face, something that might even cause us to laugh? Author Dale Stanton says, "Yes!"In his book, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Communion, Dale explores some of the subtle, camouflaged, and elusive gems of humor in the Bible that don''t exactly leap out at you as one would find in a comic strip or a TV sitcom. These hidden treasures of humor come alive in the biblical characters themselves, revealed in all their human quirks, foibles, and idiosyncrasies, which remind us that, in many ways, these biblical personalities are just like us.Referring to many of the Scripture lessons that are read in church on Sunday morning, Dale, in his tongue-in-cheek style, brings to life this collection of inconspicuous and sometimes wry nuggets of humor that might just make you laugh.

Frankie Pauling Hutton's insight comes from cosmology, esoteric Christianity, Theosophy, Gurdjieff's teachings, the Mahatmas and other superior beings. In this book, she weaves an extraordinary synthesis of essays which ponder the complicated, suffering prone life of earthlings as tied ultimately to the symbolism of the red rose, a unique rendering on earth which seems appreciated by every culture, globally for hundreds and hundreds of years. But why? There's obviously more to the rose than meets the eye. It is a lovely, fragrant and high frequency flower and perhaps that's why it has been so revered by diverse cultures and from pagans to patricians, commoners to royalty. But few among us know the metaphysics of the rose. We might deduce from these essays that humans are ever watched over and even unknowingly tweaked by beings from afar until such time the will and pure quest for eternal life begins to take place which ushers in graceful, committed work capable of transcending polarization, politics, race, and soci-economic matters. To know the rose aright, is to trump all that divides earthlings and Hutton's essays show us why secret societies have ever revered the rose for that reason.Following over a decade of research, in this little book, Dr. Hutton becomes our guide through a reacquaintance with ancient literature and poetry, biblical passages and much more to help us know the secret life of the rose. She fathom's the gist of the rose and explains in detail why this precious flower is in the league of God's profound renderings to mankind. The great teachers, including Dante, the Mahatmas, Andreev, Newbough, Gurdjieff, Rumi and Attar all point to the same message: to know the rose and know it well is to understand man's never ending quest to know the Source of all and everything, what many civilizations call God or the Force.
