Abstract:
Rapture Redux: Living With Hope and Purpose in the Last Days is a life-changing book that takes on one of the most misunderstood and controversial issues of our day: the pre-Tribulation Rapture of the Church. While many interpret the Rapture as a negativistic, gloom-and-doom event, Rapture Redux finds it otherwise. In fact, the Rapture is the most joyous, most blessed time in church history! Filled with hope, inspiration, life application side notes, and a passion for God’s truth in prophecy, Rapture Redux does not disappoint.

Dear Reader:
Thank you for purchasing my book, Rapture Redux. Many people have asked me, "What prompted you to write this book? And isn’t the Rapture just some silly fantasy?"
During the Israeli/Lebanon crisis in the summer of 2006, talk of the Rapture reached epidemic proportions. Some Christians expected the Rapture imminently, while others sat back and laughed. Some shared stories of what they were going to do just before the Rapture, while others eschewed this kind of talk, relegating it to staring up into the blue skies with jaws aghast and eyes glazed over. And still others rejected the Rapture altogether, connecting it with political ideology and spurious storytelling.
That’s when I decided to follow God’s direction and begin production of this important book. After nearly twenty years of scholarly study in eschatology (the study of the end times), I wanted to share with others what the Rapture comprises from a strictly Scriptural point of view. Furthermore, I wanted to address the question of, "Why does the Rapture matter to me? What does it mean for my life, and how is belief in the Rapture beneficial to my walk with Christ?"
The Rapture really is a transforming Biblical doctrine. When the Apostle Paul tells us that "we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds" (1 Thessalonians 4:17), he is informing us of a mystery so joyous and so hopeful, we can’t even begin to imagine the elation of that day.
The early church soaked their minds in this comforting hope (1 Thessalonians 4:18). It focused their attention on eternal matters and relegated their worldly problems nugatory. Indeed, their belief in the Rapture doctrine transformed their lives in ways unimaginable!
In Rapture Redux, I propose that the same transformational effect of the Rapture doctrine that the early church internalized is available to us today. And after reading this critical book, your life may be transformed as well!
Thank you for your support, and God bless.
